A two night weekend break was spent at the 'Three Shires' for a birthday celebration. It certainly met and exceeded all our expectations. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted and shown to our room.The room (whilst small) was perfect,beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean with good quality bed linen and a magnificent view to boot.The en-suite bathroom was also pristinewith a...

we were made welcome from the start. The location is stunning,we found it perfect for daytime walks, followed by very pleasant evenings in comfortable and sociable surroundings. The meals were served promptly and highly recommended!

Lakeland hospitality at its best. Great old inn, excellent unfussy food. Residents lounge with real fire. Free wifi which works. Smallish rooms but clean and perfectly presented. And of course fantastic location. Highly recommend.

We stopped off for a family lunch and had the soup and baguettes. The location is idyllic. If only the food had matched it! The beef in my baguette was so gristly that it was largely impossible to eat. My boys left their chips as they were under-cooked. The soup was fine but nothing special. It's not hard to get... More

I am very sorry that you did not enjoy your lunch with us and that you felt unable to notify us at the time. If you had we would have been more than happy to rectify the problem. Kind regards Three Shires Inn More

Just returned from a relaxing break here as a birthday treat for my husband. We had heard about the LangdAle Trail and as keen real ale drinkers decided the Three Shires was a good place to base ourselves to enjoy all of the pubs in the area. The inn has a really cosy, welcoming bar itself with a good selection... More

We visited the Inn half way between a 9 mile walk and what a treat. The view sat outside in -2 was stunning, yes we ate outside much to the surprise of the staff but it was beautiful and someone had taken the last table! The bar area is small, so arrive early to get a table inside if you... More

Just back from a short weekend break with my husband, which we spent walking in the hills. We booked at short notice and were very pleasantly surprised when we arrived. We had read on their website that The Three Shires Inn had been closed for refurbishment and this was the first weekend they had opened. There was no problem at... More

This was at least the sixth visit to this Inn set in beautiful Little langdale. So this must say something about the Inn and the area. Good walking for all types. The inn is very cosy and the owners very friendly and helpful.
