Crown and Cushion in Eden

Very disappointing Lamb Hot Pot, about 3 very small pieces of lamb which were absolutely lost in the dish, the rest is lots of potato, a few pieces of carrot and lots of minty gravy.

Lovely atmosphere, very kind and helpful staff. Would love to return for an overnight stay.

We really enjoy the food and atmosphere here. We visit regularly and have never had anything other than good things to say.

Rooms were good but the evening meals and breakfast were absolutely delicious could not fault anything, and the beer wasn't bad either

Lovely food, steak cooked to my liking. Barstaff friendly, didn't stay so cannot review rooms

Excellent for a lunch or a snack.

Visited for a one off as staying in the Airbnb next door. Great food and great service. Perfectly cooked steak and chips!

Stopped off at this lovely little country pub and stayed in the apartment. The roast beef and red onion gravy sandwich was to die for. Staff were very friendly and the apartment is nice and clean and lovely design inside. Recommend both food and staying

Generously sized portions. Friendly staff. Decent beer selection.

We stopped off here for breakfast on our way back from Scotland. 29/08 Lovely breakfast and lovely staff. Ingredients were of good quality. Well recommended.

The Crown & Cushion is in a great location for exploring Appleby. The staff are amazing and very friendly. We were shown to our room, which was a lovely touch. Our room was beautifully decorated and furnished. It was spotlessly clean and the furnishings were modern. The towels were lovely and thick. Tea and coffee facilities are in the room. We had dinner in the pub and it was really nice and cooked perfectly. Breakfast was very good and freshly cooked to order. Information on things to was available and recommend walks too. We are already looking at when we can go back! Very impressed and will definitely be back.

We booked in to stay at the Cushion Cottage through Booking.com, which is part of the pubs accommodation. The apartment was very nice and comfortable... However my review is linked more to the pub/restaurant. We didn't book in for food which does not seem to be an issue. The staff were extremely friendly and courteous. One of our party is a Coeliac and the staffy were extremely understanding and had a full and extensive Gluten Free menu. As for the food, well.... Just amazing, wholesome, tasty, filling, fantastic pub food at very reasonable prices. The small touches like having the food delivered hot and on hot plates can make such a difference (which to be honest, not many restaurants these days get right! 🙄). These guys got it spot on, and the fact that nearly everyone in the pub were eating, is testiment to how good the establishment and staff were. I have got to say, if you get a chance to dine here then do it... You will not regret it. The best pub meal I have had in many years. Well done and keep the standard there. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Not stayed there, but a great place to stop for a meal and drink in Appleby, very friendly staff, good service.

Food and drinks lovely, friendly, cheerful staff too

Visited for a Sunday afternoon bar meal. Staff are very welcoming, chatty, and friendly. The Calamari starter was excellent. Crispy and piping hot with a nice garlic alioli. Cumbrian ring sausage, peas, egg, and chips were very nice. The sausage is local from a butchers just up the road. A proper dark yoke farm egg, and I suspect the chef prepared chips. Service was prompt and friendly. A nice, unpretentious pub right in the centre of Appleby. On Sunday you can park outside.

Very well looked after Breakfast fabulous 👌

Great place nice rooms and the food was great

Just had an evening meal and a drink. Service was excellent and the food was gorgeous. Definitely recommended.

Recommended by a friend and didn’t disappoint. Lovely interior, friendly staff and great food at a great price. Will definitely return

Nice pub food is great, especially the chicken tikka kebab. Big portions, you don't leave hungry. Helpful staff nice atmosphere.

Booked ahead whilst staying locally as we wanted to watch a football match on tv. On arrival our table was ready right in front of the tv! We were able to watch the game and enjoy a lovely home cooked meal. The pub was full and had a lovely atmosphere, we brought our black lab and there was room for him by our table. Thank you to the staff who responded quickly to our reservation query. Great result for my team, not so good for my partners lol!

Only popped in for a quick beer (or two) before we had dinner in a local Indian restaurant. The staff were a delight. There were three 'Robinson Brewery' beers available, I had a couple of the Cumbrian Way Bitter (4.1%) my wife and her friend had the Dizzy Blond and our friend had something unpalatable, cold and fizzy, not sure what it was though. I was invited to have a taste before I invested in a pint, always a sign of a good pub. The beer was top notch. The atmosphere great, had a nice chat with a couple of locals who made me (a foreigner from the South) feel right at home. All in all a lovely pub well worth five stars...thanks Crown and Cushion... Oh just for the sake of accuracy, they do serve other drinks a lot of which are fizzy chilled stuff and others made from apples and grapes, you know what I'm talking about....

Had a three night stay which included breakfast. The room was comfortable and clean with a decent sized TV. The room was over the bar so some noise was herd but not enough to diusturb us and it went quiet at closing time. Breakast was excellent and we ate there each evening. I can particularly recommend the hot pot - it was yummy. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. A lovely town which has been well supported by the local community; who have raised funds to provide lots of amenities. Nice riverside walk. We drove out to complete various walks in the area - Smardale Nature Reserves & Viaduct as well as Podgill Viaduct and Ewbank Scar are well worth a visit

Great food at a gorgeous pub in the centre of the town. Not much to look at from outside, but inside is lovely with beamed ceilings, tub chairs, and lovely furnishings. And the food is plentiful, hot and tasty. Recommended

Stopped in for a coffee. And as usual very good. And the staff are still as pleasant as always.

Stopped off here for a family breakfast. We decided on this place by looking at the reviews on Google. It certainly helps. Food, as others have said, was absolutely top quality (not forgetting the coffees) and we were made to feel very welcome. If we're ever in the area again, this would be a place we would definitely stop off at again. Well recommended!!!! For a good reason!!

Lovely old, very Dog-friendly, hotel, with very welcoming Staff, and great beer. Food looked good, but I didn't try it.

Beautiful place nice food n friendly welcome n dogs are aloud in the pub

Absolutely lovely place - food, service, rooms, cleanliness all top notch. Great value for money. Can’t recommend enough.

Friendly and helpful staff. Great location for a morning coffee.

Nice wee hotel in Appleby which did a nice Sunday roast.

Great food and service, very reasonable prices too

Our favorite lunchtime stop,especially with the dog. Good food,lovely staff, friendly atmosphere.

Lovely little bar for afternoon drinks.

We went for some food at lunchtime with our dog. Food was great, staff were lovely and brought a water bowl to the table for our dog. Decor and location are very nice as well!

Once again we had a great stay, lovely room, great breakfast, love the black pudding. The staff were all welcoming and friendly. Thanks guys.

Spoke to a man in the street and asked for recommendations for a coffee shop/tearoom. He had just come from The Crown and Cushion and said he had had a beautiful scone. Off we went & can only agree - the scone was absolutely beautiful with the best homemade strawberry jam - praise from a jam maker!! My husband and I shared a cheese & onion toastie first and then had said fruit scone, homemade on site. Do not miss this treat if you’re in Appleby.

This is a review of the pub not the hotel... Great hearty food for a fair price, friendly service... Plenty of veggie choices... What more could you ask for? Worth a visit!

Excellent classic pub. Welcoming and helpful staff.

Booked a 17.30 slot for dinner with my wife and well behaved dog. Lovely polite staff made sure everything was ok from start to finish.. The food was piping hot and very reasonably priced too. Will definitely return!!

Popped in for lunch yesterday, amazing food and staff very friendly.😊 Will return again if in the area

Stopped for lunch in Appleby and were fortunate in our choice of places to eat by having food in The Crown & Cushion. Food was perfectly cooked and portions were generous. The price was reasonable and the service was great. Bar staff were friendly and timely in their service. The building was well lit and clean. Toilets too.

Stopped by today for tea and scones - what a wonderful find and friendly, efficient service service from Charlie. Thoroughly recommend 👏

A few nights here were relaxing and lovely Great pub food, amazing big breakfasts

Sat in the beer garden with the dog. Staff very helpful with tricky dog, staff very friendly. Sandwiches had too much sauce and fish finger sandwich was fish goujons not fingers, and too much tartar sauce. Lasagña was lovely, very hot and very nice.

Excellent Pub in the centre of Appleby, spotless with great staff and food. Perfect stop all round.

Welcoming, good food. Didn't stay there.

Wonderful, warm welcome to thus dog-friendly hotel. Large, en-suite rooms, spotlessly clean, good breakfasts with a wide range of food.

Great place. Super location. Hearty breakfast.

Nice, relaxed atmosphere. Staff were attentive and polite. The food was reasonably priced, well presented, and absolutely delicious.

Great dog friendly pub. Staff are very helpful and the food was great.

Stopped off for dinner. Really nice food at a fair price.. Surprisingly very busy for a Wednesday night. Good atmosphere.

Just called in for lunch which was nicely cooked and well served. Nice oldy world feel, which it is of course, and comfortable seating. Staff were all helpful and obliged with all requests made.

Staff were lovely, and the atmosphere was very friendly and pleasant. Just had drinks and scones which were well made. Everything was good. we wished we had a meal as food looked lovely. Could recommend.

Booked in for a Sunday dinner. They were very welcoming and made such a fuss of our dog. The service was excellent and the food delicious. Definitely go back.

Lovely food and excellent service.

Evening meal there with friends, good food good service nice beers. Enjoyed it will be back again.

Recently had a nights stay with our dog. We had a lovely stay, staff very friendly and helpful,food was really good,breakfast was great too. We had a comfortable nights sleep. Could not ask for anything more.

Had bacon cheese burger chips and salad overall really nice the bread on the burger were nice the meat were nice for 13 quid can't really complain👍

Great stop off point along the A66 and dog friendly 💪

Only visited the bar but very nice and friendly

Excellent morning coffee and scones.

I really enjoyed this venue. We went on Sunday for our lunch. Didn't book ahead and were told they had no spaces left, but they managed to squeeze us in! If recommend booking in advance. The food was lovely, best beef I've had in ages. The service was brilliant and there was a great range of food and drinks on offer.

Brilliant views. Super friendly people serving. Breakfast was amazing.

Rang late to have an evening meal for two adults and our dog. Staff were extremely helpful even helping with directions and parking. Location is ideal next to the river, very warm and welcoming. The food was outstanding. The steaks were the best we've had in a long time, even the sides. That good I asked where they buy their steaks from, no surprise, an excellent local butcher, just love when businesses buy local. We bought some the next day the quality was fantastic. The Crown and cushion is an ideal place to stay and eat.

A very popular venue with good food and service

This is a good place to relax and get a bite to eat when in Appleby. Be warned though, portion sizes are not for the faint-hearted..!

I didn't stay here but had a meal so can't comment on the rooms. The bar and food area is really nice. I highly recommend the hot beef with gravy sandwich...friendly staff and good value.

What an amazing place. I only stayed one night in the loft, and it was incredible. It was tidy, clean, and warm. I am quite tall so the ceilings and lights were low at points. The pub below was also really good. The staff were friendly, also dog friendly, so there were lots of cute dogs around. The breakfast was included and had a nice selection. I would definitely recommend the crown and cushion inn.

Excellent two night stay. Wonderfully filling Cumbrian breakfasts.

Staff very friendly, dogs welcome with plenty of space for them to lay down. Would recommend

We were there when the sirens went off for floods we had no electricity and the TV went on the blink. The next day the breakfast was cereal and orange juice. On the other side , the hotel bedroom was brillia itint, the evening dinner was delicious, the service and friendliness was second to none and when we finally got a breakfast it was scrumptious. We are going again.

All the staff were really friendly, especially when the river threatened to flood. Sandbags and information were offered and nothing was too much trouble. The apartments we were in were very well appointed and easy to use and relax in. The walk-in showers were lovely and the really big bath sheets hit the spot! Parking permits were provided and meals were available at the pub.

Superb little place with amazing food and great atmosphere. Staff were lovely pub was clean and tidy what more can you want.

Such a lovely friendly pub with top class staff and great food! From our arrival to our departure the care we got was 5 star!! Could not fault anything!! Look forward to returning soon xx

Great food and staff are fab. Service was perfect

Love the breakfast and the bedroom. Will definitely be back again..

Nice Sunday lunch, weekday breakfasts and brunches with good soft and alcoholic options. Pensioner deals are especially good value

Lovely food at a reasonable price

Stayed overnight on a drive back from Inverness to Essex. Perfect location, lovely little town just off the A66. The staff and manager were all really nice and friendly. We stayed in Room 1 above the bar/restaurant on New Year’s Eve, so thought we’d need the earplugs provided, but no…by 10:30 pm all was quiet. Room had a great superking size bed which was very comfortable. Unfortunately I’ve had to only give the room four stars as it was pretty tired, with a tiny shower in the en-suite…so small my husband couldn’t move inside it, so no shower for him! Oddly, the toilet and hand basin are very low down, which felt very weird. Food was very tasty, including the full English we had in the morning. For the price we paid it was excellent, and would definitely stay here again when breaking our journey north or south.

Always a warm welcome and great food every visit

Right on the main street, easy access. Great staff, great service. Professional and friendly. Good food. I'd recommend.

Had a great overnight stay with my two adult cats. Terrific evening meal and a full breakfast the following morning. I shall break my north -south journey there again.

Words aren't enough to describe how exceptional it is Fabulous ...check it out

Brilliant place to stay. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was great, I can recommend the eggs benedict. The hotel is in the middle of Appleby, convenient for the castle, the church, the almshouses, restaurants and shopping. Appleby is good point for accessing Penrith and the Lakes.

Stayed in cush bank, was an absolutely fantastic place, stunning, comfortable, peaceful. Highly recommend. Ate at the pub a couple of evenings, food and staff, were brilliant, no complaints from me and my lot. Thank you

Great food, service & value in a lovely traditional pub spoilt, only slightly, by the somewhat fruity language from 4 or 5 lads at another table.

Stayed in the cushion bank opposite the crown and cushion. Fantastic accommodation. Food in pub brilliant. Went for supper and breakfast good grub friendly staff. Definitely go again

We rented out the house a short walk away belonging to the Crown & Cushion Inn. We had a lovely comfortable stay in the wonderful house they were renting out. The staff were wonderful, friendly & very helpful at the Crown & Cushion Inn, food was good, most definitely worth a visit.. Further to this, we were made to feel most welcome, I also accidentally left a nice pack of playing cards behind, they called me to let me know and posted to me sraight away, I was so pleased and grateful. A similar thing happened to me at another pub/guesthouse recently, they weren't so helpful, I'd accidentally left my wallet and spare car key fob behind. The anxiety they caused me because they were making it so difficult in returning it to me.

Stayed here for the weekend, the rooms are lovely & spacious, decorated well, it was the small touches that helped cotton buds, cotton wool, tissues in the room. The bed was huge & very comfy. Breakfast was great good choice. We ate here one night food was delicious good portions. The whole time we were here the staff couldn’t do enough for us. We will be back.

Just had two day's away in the cottage lovely clean well proportioned comfortable beds and ate both nights in the pub and had a lovely breakfast and a special thanks from masie the cocker spaniel who was well looked after nothing not to like was brilliant thanks again matt andrea and Maisie dog looking forward to returning

Had the opportunity to stay here recently and it was a pleasure. I stayed with my adult daughter and her small Shih Ztu dog. We had a twin room that was very modern and clean. The staff were excellent throughout with nothing being too much trouble. They were able to direct us to free overnight parking too. We ate in the restaurant and whilst the food was typical pub fayre it was good and very reasonably priced. We met some lovely local people and have made a promise to return.

The only disappointment was the weather! Booked for lunch, plenty of space, good attention to Covid measures. Good pub grub, the pie was exceptionally good full of meat & very tasty.

we were a family of 8 in the cottage and the apartment plus dogs, made to feel very welcome and Julie went above and beyond to help us in anything we needed. Was lovely with the dogs, nice bowl of water brought for them in the garden which was a nice touch.beautiful breakfasts and lovely evening meal, will recommend to anyone. The man behind the bar was so welcoming and made us feel very wanted, which created a nice atmosphere

We came up to view a property in the area and wanted to take a good look at Appleby as the nearest village/town to the house. What a delightful find. We walked in, 3 hours before our due time as the journey up from the south was far better than expected. Jan greeted us, was charming and showed us to the lovely Cushion Cottage, next door to the pub. The staff could not have been nicer. We had a walk around Appleby first followed by a delicious meal. The cottage was superb with 2 bedrooms, a lovely living area and kitchen and was spotlessly clean as well as being decorated in contemporary fashion. The bed was really comfy and loads of hot water in the morning. Breakfast was delicious, served by a charming lady called April. The upshot is we are buying the house in the area. Fantastic place.

Spent 2 nights in the hotel and had a lovely time Staff great Julie really friendly and helpful Best breakfast in Appleby local produce UsedRoom very clean Really dog friendly Great atmosphere Very covid safeLovely decor even in the beer garden We loved Appleby as well so we shall be back

Lovely meal well cooked steak and prompt service for a busy Saturday night. All the staff were lovely and had nice chat with some locals who also had a dog

We ate as a family of 5. Menu had a good selection of some classic british dishes and more exotic dishes too. Food was fresh and tasty and service excellent. We will return.

I was visiting family for 2 days and I was extremely impressed by this pub with rooms. The staff are incredible, they're so friendly and so careful in all of their Covid measures. After a 300 mile drive I was made to feel extremely welcome and felt very safe and well looked after. Great food - we had a meal outside in the heated and covered beer garden with the wind and rain lashing down, but that didn't dampen our spirits and I had an excellent burger. Super cumberland sausage for breakfast which set me up for the day. Cosy room and was nice to escape everything for a few days. Once again, all credit to the team for all they are doing - these places are the lifeblood of our country, and I wish them every success.

To celebrate the new phase, came for our tea tonight.This is the best pub in Appleby without question. And I can say hand on heart, the best COVID policies and adherence.Had a fantastic Xmas meal tonight , enormous portions.Always fabulous staff and ambience.My Labrador had missed their dog menu massively.
