I wanted to organise a deer stalking weekend for my husband for his birthday, knowing nothing about it I phoned Nigel, owner of the hotel. He was really helpful and organised the trip for me. We stayed 2 nights DBB. We were upgraded to a suite which was huge and really nice. The hotel had real character. The staff were... More

Return visit to fish the River Eden in and around Appleby. Room well appointed and comfortable. Warm welcome and attentive service. Great beer and food. Hearty breakfast. Nigel really knows the river and provides great advice. Will be back again soon.

booked via groupon deal for a very reasonable price for 2 nights B&B. Our room was small but very clean and had the smallest TV I had ever seen. We ate in the hotel bar on one night of our stay, and the food was very good and reasonably priced. Breakfasts were also good. Staff were pleasant and friendly and... More

Very disappointing stay here. The hotel is tired and run down and needs some serious cleaning and maintenance both inside and outside. The window frames in our bedroom were shabby with paint peeling off them, you couldn't see out of the windows they were so dirty. Breakfast juice was limited to two jugs of orange juice and one small bottle... More

Thank you very much for letting me know about the problems you had with your stay it is very much appreciated and I am sorry that we did not meet your expectations. I think that you must have stayed in one of our rooms above the ballroom. Unfortunately the window cleaners cannot get to these rooms with ladders and we... More

I booked this hotel for myself, my mum and two sisters through a deal we saw on wowcher to get away for a few days before my sisters wedding. On first impressions the hotel is in a lovely little village and the actual hotel decor was really good and what you'd expect for a country hotel. We had problems when... More

My husband and I spent a much-needed 'night away' here, in the middle of a stressful business visit to the UK. I had visited Appleby regularly as a child, but this was the first time that I had had the choice of accommodation, and had always wanted to stay at the Tufton Arms, which had always been considered to be...

I am sorry that we did not "float your boat" Life is a subjective thing and we are all different, we have a lovely Victorian building here and we have always tried to decorate it in keeping with its heritage which I guess can be dated or sympathetic and caring depending on ones viewpoint! I am also disapointed that you... More
