Nestled within a secluded valley high in the Cumbrian Fells, yet only minutes from the M6, The Best Western Shap Wells Hotel is a comfortable and traditional hotel offering high standards of service in a friendly and attentive atmosphere and is the perfect spot from which to explore the Lake District, Yorkshire Fells and Border Country. Arrival at the hotel begins with a mile long drive along a private road, with breathtaking and rugged scenery in every direction, sheep and cattle along the way, a pretty waterfall, and a trickling stream running by the front door.

Whatever your ideal activity, be it long strenuous walks or gentle strolls, you will experience the peace and serenity of breaking free from the madding crowd and return to a warm welcome and comfortable surroundings. For the business guests the hotel offers a fully equipped business centre with 7 meeting rooms to accommodate from 8 to 180, in addition to the Birkbeck Restaurant, which is ideal for larger groups. With ample free parking, outstanding views and the space and tranquility that the rural surroundings provide, the guests return to us time after time.
