Popped in here with the dogs for a cream tea. To clarify, the cream tea was for us, and the dogs were happy to sit under the table whilst we enjoyed a convivial afternoon treat. Pleasant atmosphere, prompt service, full marks all round.

Great price for spacious, comfortable accommodation, great drinks and one of the best cooked breakfasts I've ever had! I would 100% stay again. The only negatives were no on site parking, no bathtub, and although not a problem for us, some may struggle with the stairs.

Came here for an evening meal whilst staying nearby Appleby. I opted for the lasagne which was homemade along with garlic bread. A nice touch I was expecting the usual frozen stuff. They have a dog menu too which meant Tia tucked into a bowl of peanut butter and banana cookies whilst I ate. This and a pint of Moretti came to £22 which I thought was reasonable

We'd reserved a table for 4 but it was cramped into a corner and a party of 20 were piling in next to our table. We ordered two capaccinos while we waited for our friends. They arrived after a wait and were very frothy with very little coffee.in them. We decided to have lunch somewhere else. It was a disappointing first visit. Maybe it was an off day?

This was our first visit to Appleby and we were staying in a property round the corner from the Crown and Cushion. We decided to give it a try for dinner on our first night and were very pleasantly surprised. We were met with a really friendly welcome. A lot of the tables were already reserved but we were shown to one that wasn't booked until a couple of hours later. This gave us plenty of time for our meal, steak and ale pie, which was really enjoyable. We ended up returning to eat at the Crown and Cushion every evening of our 4 night stay, enjoying gammon, blade of beef and the best fish and chips we have had for absolutely ages. The batter was so light and not greasy as is often the case. The service was spot on, the food was served hot and on hot plates (something you don't often get nowadays) and what struck us especially was the attitude of the staff. They really seemed to work as a team and despite being rushed off their feet (especially on New Year's Eve) they always had a smile and went out of their way to make sure the customers were being looked after. If we visit Appleby again we'll definitely be visiting the Crown and Cushion and won't hesitate in recommending it to friends and family. We may even stay there next time as we heard some good reports from people about the accommodation too!

Nice place good location very busy and good vibes, very food biased I think. Not the pubs fault there were a fair few dogs of which a couple kept barking, not the dogs fault either but the owners seemed oblivious to the noise. Beer was good service efficient just a shame no one told the dog owners to take a bit of control 😔

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. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

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.

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

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.

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.

Comimos pastel de queso y cebolla con papas fritas y un pastel de carne con papas fritas, una olla de guisantes y salsa. Llegó a 14, que parecía un poco empinado, sin embargo, ¡eran posiblemente las mejores tartas que hemos tenido de un chippy! El queso era un pastel individual con un delicioso pastel de mantequilla y el relleno perfecto. El bistec era una porción de una tarta grande, de nuevo pastelería perfecta y carga un relleno de bistec perfectamente cocinado. También obtuve un montón de papas fritas y también dieron en el clavo, al igual que los guisantes y la salsa. Vale la pena el dinero extra y definitivamente volvería si estamos en la zona.
