The Shepherds Inn

Lovely place with everything you need for a short stay. Excellent breakfast Convenient location. Parking available. An easy stay

Friendly welcome, lovely location, clean and tidy, good food and very comfortable room and stay.

We booked into The Shepherds last minute whilst en route to a site visit at Centre Parcs. Very warm welcoming on arrival from a lovely female member of staff, easy check-in. We ate I the restaurant and it was lovely, with a good selection of food options including a festive menu at this time of year. The rooms were clean and tidy. We weren’t able to have breakfast as we were leaving too early. Yet.. we were made a packed lunches to take away with massive sandwiches, homemade shortbreads & mince pies and fruit. We couldn’t have asked for more. Jamie was great behind the bar and kept me entertained when he and my client realised they grew up in the same area in the South West! We will be visiting again very soon on business. 10/10

Excellent food and accomidation

We first visited this lovely pub pre-Covid on a visit to the area and were impressed. Very pleased to find it has not changed except perhaps for the better. Good beers, excellent food and the friendliest and most helpful of staff made our family lunch a real treat.

Called in on the spur of the moment pleasant and welcoming staff. I had the shepherds pie which was absolutely lovely piping hot with beautiful presented veg. Extremely tasty and well presented. The wife had the chicken wraps with salad and sweet potato chips. Can’t complain about anything will definitely call in again

I was working in Carlisle and needed a place to stay on my way back down south as I'd been working late. I stumbled on this charming pub which is a short distance from the A66. Although I booked the room very late 9.30pm over the phone the staff waited for me to arrive and showed me to a very nice little room where I had a very comfortable and quiet night's sleep. On rising the breakfast was excellent and service was as it should be in the morning cheerful and prompt. All in all don't believe the negative reviews which all really seem to be about no dogs in the restaurant which is a rule which I would support. Shepherds Inn is the place you are looking for.....

Lovely quiet break for our 40th Anniversary. The hotel was superb, nicely appointed room with views over the village green. The highlight however was the superb food, a deceptively simple menu made with quality fresh local ingredients and executed with flair and panache. Even the side salads were exceptional !!! Our hosts were very welcoming, attentive without being intrusive and their wee gem of an establishment well worth a visit either staying or for a lovely meal or preferably both.

Our room was a bit small but fine for a one-night stay. Shared bathroom but not problematic. Good pint in the bar. Very good breakfast - superb black pudding!
