"A big old hotel about a mile off the main road, wondered where we were going to start with as you couldn,t see the building. When we got there it had such character nothing modern looking at all, the reception staff were very happy to see you . The rooms had real doors keys and were comfortable. The staff did there best to understand our food intolerances which enabled us to eat in the restraunt. All in all a very pleasant overnight stay. Thankyou Shap Wells Hotel"

"Picture postcard hotel. We had a garden room which was tastefully decorated and being able to sit in our own conservatory was great but the hotel had a bar and snug which were also lovely spaces. Beautiful garden with stunning views over to Hawes and it was just so peaceful to sit out there. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. Fantastic breakfast and we also had dinner in the hotel and this was beautifully presented and delicious."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Smardale?
The best time to go to Smardale is during the spring and summer months, specifically from May to September.This period typically offers the most pleasant weather for exploring the Smardale Gill Viaduct and the surrounding Smardale Nature Reserve. You'll find longer daylight hours, making it ideal for walking, wildlife spotting, and enjoying the natural beauty of the area without the chill of autumn or winter. The paths are generally drier and more accessible, which is a key consideration for visitors planning to spend time outdoors.Couples looking for a peaceful retreat will find these months particularly appealing. The warmer weather allows for leisurely strolls along the disused railway line, picnics by the Scandal Beck, and opportunities to observe the diverse flora and fauna, including rare butterflies and red squirrels. It's a great time for a relaxed, nature-focused break.For solo travellers seeking quiet reflection and outdoor activity, late spring and early autumn (May-June and September) offer a good balance. The weather is still favourable, but there might be fewer visitors than in the peak summer months of July and August.
