We had booked a 1 bedroom self contained apartment, which was a short distance away from the Inn and town centre, well located near to a Co-op and the railway station. The instructions to get there and inside were detailed. The place was modern, spotless with every appliance necessary for cooking and comfort. The shower was amazing, as was the bed. We did not meet our host, but the welcome pack and information was very well written and welcoming, asking if we did have a problem then to get in touch. We didn’t and we had a fantastic stay. I would like to give it an 11.

Staying in a Crown and Cushion property in Appleby is a fantastic experience. The stay we we in a one bedroom house which was furnished to the highest spec. And only a few steps for the centre of Appleby. Over the past few years we have stayed in 4 more properties run by the Crown and Cushion …all were fantastic and every thing needed was taken care of. I the words of Arnold Sw ..I’ll be back!

Coming home! We were so comfortable in our property we would have liked to have been there longer.

You get a lovely breakfast with plenty of choice which includes excellent coffee. Very central location with plenty of parking nearby. Although it was so central, we found the room nice and quiet. The bar is lovely and I was pleased to see it was dog friendly for future reference.

If you come back late you get locked out if you don't take a key, which you have to ask for especially. This happened to us as we were at a mid-week wedding. I felt awful having to make a phone call and drag someone out at almost midnight to let us in. We were told there were signs everywhere, but we honestly hadn't noticed them. I wish we'd just been given a key for the outside door.

Our stay at the Cushion Bank exceeded our expectations and is excellent value for money. It’s spacious, spotless, and has absolutely everything you need for a self catering stay; from dish washer tabs, pods for the coffee maker to ear buds and tissues in the rooms - all nice little touches that make a difference and show the owners really care about their guests having a good stay. A real hit with the kids was the modern reclinable couch; apparently I need to upgrade ours at home now!

Nothing; our stay was great. Thank you.

Location was right in Appleby town, breakfast was nice and staff were really friendly, we stayed in the crown cottage a 2 minute walk from the crown and cushion pub, the cottage was decorated to a high standard with everything you need, it was so relaxing and comfortable, would highly recommend staying here, we will be staying here again but will be staying longer as 2 days weren’t enough

Nothing

Appleby is a hidden gem, like the Lake District without the crowds. The cottage has been spectacularly refurbished and is within easy walking distance of the town centre. Dinner at the C&C was excellent.

We are a couple of old foggies and it took us a while to figure out how the telly worked, but I guess we'll have to get used to it. Similarly, I struggled with the 'L' shaped sofa.

Great location within Appleby. Great little house. Would definitely recommend for a couple looking for a short break. We had expected there was more to Appleby, it's very small but enjoyed some lovely walks. Had a nice pub meal in the Crown and Cushion, dog welcome, great landlord and staff.

Only downside for us was the shared backyard so couldn't let the dog out off lead. No biggie though .

I arrived by bike on a wet evening and the staff were very helpful getting me a place to wash and store my bike. I booked a double room and ended up getting an apartment, which was a pleasant surprise. The food in the restaurant was delicious and i enjoyed a few pints in the bar before calling it a night. Breakfast next morning set me up well for another day on the bike

Fabulous central location. Brilliant facilities - self contained apartment with two bedrooms and great kitchen facilities. Would be a really good work base as well as a good place to stay for a break. Spacious bathroom and living space. The pub does good food - and even doubles as a tea room!

The only downside is the lack of parking nearby at busy times.

Spotlessly clean. Staff welcoming and friendly. Pub food freshly cooked, and very good.

Loved the room, but....no chairs to sit and watch tv before bed. Uncomfortable for my husband who has a disability. Also when we went in for breakfast at around 10pm, the floor in the tea room was wet, having just been washed. The yellow sign was outside the door, but we didn’t realise how wet the floor was, and my husband, who uses a stick almost lost his footing. Fortunately he wasn’t hurt, but perhaps the floor shouldn’t be wetted until after the meal service is over, or guests should be seated in another area.
