Tufton Arms Hotel in Eden

Large room. The restaurant is a little strange behind a wine shop, but good with slightly elaborate daily specials. You have to be a little on the hunt for the server though.

Tea shop ok, service slow ,and soup and bread very ordinary, Brad tasted like a steamed loaf. Disappointed

Friendly staff and locals. Nice pint of real ale in the fresh air on pavement picnic table was refreshing during our tough cycle ride around the area!

Called on for breakfast and the food and service was v good. My wife is coeliac so they popped out to get some gluten free bread - very tasty egg on sourdough and avocado . Looks like a family run business hotel . A little run down and tries to sell everything from wine to socks. Plastic table cloths a bit off putting and old school . Worth a visit for lunch and breakfast .

I travel a lot for work, this was the worst hotel I've ever seen. My studio room was dirty and smelled strongly of mold, couldn't wait to leave, avoid this place at all costs.

7pm What we believed was a wine bar (as the signs said on the windows) we entered the bar and was told somewhat brusquely that the bar was only open to residents and it was very apparent we were not welcome - and the bar was completely empty ! This has never happened to us before and we certainly will never return for a repeat . Unbelievable

Appleby is a bit of a hidden gem, a beautiful little town with some lovely shops and pubs, but benefits from being off the tourist trail of Lakes. The Tufton Arms is an excellent location overlooking the main square, historic and Acharacterful inside, with top quality breakfast and friendly professional service.

Had a wonderful lunch in this quirky old hotel in a room full of lovely giftware and exclusive wines for sale. I had a delicious kedgeree and my wife had an omelette.

Went into cafe for coffee and light lunch. Had both, very good meal and coffee. Good service. Would recommend

Tasty food well cooked and presented, good selection of wines all at a reasonable price too

We arrived a bit late for lunch and we were given a warm welcome. The bar/cafe is a little bizarre but the food was excellent. The sharing platter of salmon was generous and very tasty. Beautifully arranged and served with thought and care. Thank you for a very good lunch.

We went here for drinks the staff were very nice. We also went to the shop in hotel and bought a case of wine. We are back in appleby in a couple of weeks and can’t wait to go for a meal.

I've been here a couple of times now in the past 6 months or so, both times with my mother and grandma. The place is located on such a lovely cobbled street in the heart of the beautiful Appleby. The menu is really wide-ranging and quite posh - I tried my luck asking Mother to treat me to the £27 steak, but to no avail. Instead, I enjoyed a delightful Bakewell tart and coffee. Grandma loved her scone - which was served warm, a rarity in the Scone Industry. Oh how I'd love to return and try some of the main dishes! Staff very helpful and lovely too.

Nos alojamos en el apartamento de 2 camas que era perfecto para lo que necesitábamos. 2 cómodas camas dobles, cada una con baño propio y un amplio pero acogedor salón / cocina. Excelente ubicación en el centro de Appleby. Comimos en el restaurante la primera noche y quedé muy impresionado con la comida. Mi amigo estaba en su elemento yendo a través de la extensa lista de vinos. ¡Recomendaría!

El hotel todavía tiene su encanto un poco cansado. Dicho esto, el hotel estaba limpio, no tengo quejas y la habitación la limpiaban a diario. Habitación cómoda con muchas opciones de té y café. No vino ni bocadillos y albornoces que se incluyeron 'extras' en la oferta de Groupon al momento de la compra. Las almohadas eran demasiado suaves para mí, pero la ropa de cama era de buena calidad. Lo más destacado de la estancia definitivamente desayuno - muy alto nivel y mucha variedad. Todo servido por una camarera muy acogedora. Todo el personal fue lo suficientemente amable. No comimos en el hotel durante la noche, ya que queríamos explorar. En general, una estancia agradable y si obtiene una buena oportunidad de negocio como lo hicimos incluso sin los 'extras', vale la pena.

We’ve stayed here several times and always been delighted. This visit, we had a really nice suite. One evening we had grouse for dinner. It was sensational. If you want a sterile modern hotel, this isn’t it. If your taste runs more to a proper country hotel in a great location then it’s for you.

Preciosa primera noche comida y bebida. El personal fue genial. Lo bueno fue encantador. Tan bueno que íbamos a volver, al llegar se habían quedado sin corona. Lo único que la otra mitad puede beber. Así que fui a la posada de uvas para cenar, que era una maravilla.

Appleby es un pueblo extraño, si nos fijamos en Trip Advisor tiene varios restaurantes. Cuando llegas descubres que cierras mucho temprano o que la comida termina temprano. Básicamente, nadie come en Appleby después de las 730 pm. También desafortunadamente para nosotros, el fantástico indio estaba cerrado por vacaciones. Éramos las únicas dos personas en el bar del hotel, la comida era buena pero demasiado caro y porciones pequeñas. Dado que a pesar de los anuncios en contrario, tampoco hay servicio de taxi en una noche. A menos que estés feliz de conducir o caminar, Appleby no es un lugar para salir por la noche.

Been here a few times for food and never been disappointed! Quality at good price. Recommend to book ahead at weekends.

Tal decepción. Asistimos a una cena de cumpleaños y fue una decepción. Nervioso / nuevo chef? Equipo de personal principal en el día de distancia? (aparte de una mujer de cabello oscuro que salvó el día, pero por lo demás, el personal no parecía tener una pista). Queso blanco, bistec y papas fritas. Clingfilm sobre setas. Ensalada de lodo. Las comidas de adultos son bastante pobres, los niños comieron bien aunque recibieron comidas para adultos (costo reducido). Comediante en ocasiones pero bastante pobre todo el año.

Terrible room very dirty pillows furniture decrepit the bed very uncomfortable we didn't even stay asked to be moved andwe where told no other rooms available 6 flights of stairs to climb and my wife is disabled no help at all from the receptionist we. we're then where told we couldn't have a refund as was booked with buy a gift we then had to pay for another hotel in Blackpool and it was a special occasion we where celebrating our 42nd wedding anniversary really annoyed with the hotel check before you book as they put there best rooms on there website totally misleading

Living nearby, Appleby is my nearest town. When I have visitors I regularly take them for a meal at the Tufton Arms, and we frequently use it for family occasions. So I have eaten there with young children, who can be demanding, older children and more formally sometimes with friends and visitors. Whatever the occasions, the hotel adapts to our needs with patience and tolerance!The hotel itself caters largely for walkers, fishermen and women and hunters, although there are also businessmen and women and ordinary tourists as well. I have not needed to stay there, but this review is about the restaurant.The food is traditional, much of it locally sourced and it is well cooked. The Sunday roast is carved at the table and is good value for money. What we appreciate apart from a good meal at a reasonable cost is the unhurried atmosphere and the informality.

Sunday Lunch for four with roast Rib of beef, great Yorkshire puds and with a point vegetables. Washed down with Nigel’s recommended claret, decanted as well! Sticky toffee pud to follow with a lovely desert wine (or two!) Train back to our holiday house. Fabulous and even better than last year!!!

We dined here when staying overnight after day five of six walking the Lady Anne’s Way having wandered around the town and found nothing else that took our fancy. The rather impressive dining room was quite empty for a Saturday evening (it was wet outside and late season), but the food proved to be very good and quite reasonably priced. I started with crispy whitebait followed by hake on a fishcake as my main, both of which were tasty with good service.

Decided to visit Appleby and saw the Tufton Arms as we had a walk around the village. Food was very good and the lady who was looking after serving the food was really nice. My Wife tried the Belly Pork with Apple Mash and I had the Steak and Ale Pie, both very good. Large portions so needed another walk around before we left the village. Highly recommended.

We used to visit this quaint pub years ago so decided to make a return. The pub has retained its cosy character and the staff were very welcoming. The food was excellent: vegetable soup and salmon roulade to start and then pan-fried hake on a fish cake bed and a very fine steak and ale pie. Lovely afternoon and a ‘must try’ if you happen to be in the area...

We arrived in Appleby a bit late for afternoon tea but in need of refreshment. Found the Tufton Arms Hotel offered coffee and cake, with dogs allowed. Hot day so had to take dog with us. Friendly greeting by receptionist, good coffee, choice of cakes, good value, and we could sit in or out. Just what we needed.

We had a very nice meal here. It was very quiet with lovely decor and furniture and the food was very good. Not a very large amount of ales, but we managed to find some good ones.

We stayed at the hotel and ate in the restaurant on 2 evenings. Both meals were reasonably priced and very good quality. Breakfasts were good as well. We can recommend the salmon starter and the Lamb main course.

At the time of writing, the Tufton Arms was 18 / 26 of restaurants in Appleby (I guess, due to a lack of reviews so far). To be honest, it hadn't even factored in my potential choices due to this when I did a quick check on tripadvisor to see where we should eat that night. However, following two separate recommendations from staff at the castle, we decided to eat here - and glad we chose to ignore tripadvisor rankings on this occasion!

Attended yesterday evening....We had prawn cocktail and home made houmus followed by chicken in a cream sauce. We finished with a crème brulee...The meal was very good...The service was professionally managed by "Holly"....

From the outside it looked like a pub that served food, how wrong my first impressions were. On entering the decor was lovely, there is a small bar area on the right with tables and seating, we were given a very friendly greeting by the bar man. We ordered drinks and took a seat in the bar whilst we perused the menu, we were told we could eat wherever we liked, we opted for the restaurant area, a lovely lady called Holly took our order and stayed she would show us through once our starters were ready. The restaurant was at the rear of the building, a lovely area, nice ambience, white table cloths etc. The food did not disappoint us either, one of the best meals I've had and good value for money. I had hummus to start, followed by pan fried chicken (fabulous), would've been rude not to try dessert, opted for the Bailey's creme brulee (divine). Can't wait to go back.

Stopped by for a nightcap in the bar which was very quiet. There was an overpowering smell of cooked fish which would was unpleasant after a meal elsewhere. It felt as though it was mainly for residents so we left after one quick drink. Loos upstairs.

Visited here on two separate occasions. Reminded me of an old Gentleman's club on entering. Small bar area but received a warm welcome. The food menu looked quite nice & prices were reasonable but unfortunately we'd already eaten.

We had the roast rib of beef Sunday lunch and couldn't fault either quality or quantity. The beef was both tender and tasty. The Yorkshire puddings both plentiful and some of the best we have tasted in a restaurant. Staff were friendly and helpful but not too intrusive. We would recommend this to anyone.

This charming Hotel/Restaurant bent over double to please. Excellent wine list and very knowledgeable owner. The saff super pleasant as was the Chef in accomodating allergies.

A group of us called in for lunch and it met with expectations, but just don't expect high end dining, this is a typical small market town hotel restaurant. Some of the food was disappointing, avoid the shepherd's pie, but other dishes were okay (if you like your lamb very well done) and others better than that.

We had a walk around Appleby in search for nice food and we stumbled across this hotel which advertised Rob of Beef. I would highly recommend here as the service and food was outstanding and very well priced

We were looking for a place to eat in Appleby after a walk round the town. We only picked the Tufton as the signboard said 'dogs welcome in the lounge' as we thought we were going to have to find somewhere to eat outside... and it was raining....

We stayed in Appleby-in-Westmoreland a couple of days and had dinner in the Tufton Arms twice. The food was great, staff wonderful, and fellow diners warm and charming. (It's not clear to me whether the dining room is open to the public, or just the bar and lounge. We ate both times in the lounge area.) Our B&B; hostess recommended the Tufton Arms and we're very glad she did. It was our favorite dining establishment in Appleby!
