We have just had a lovely two night stay at Newby Bridge Hotel with friends through Travel Zoo. Arrived to a snow decked hotel on a freezing afternoon but had such a warm welcome we almost forgot the cold! I agree with other reviews that the hotel was tired looking but that was completely forgotten as our stay was so good.
All the staff, receptionists, the bar man, waitresses could not have been more friendly and helpful. Our room 11 was long and narrow with a huge bathroom. The shower was rather tiny though - don't think I have ever seen such a small shower cubicle!
There is a comfortable bar and lounge, both having an open fire which were kept alight all day - there was just a race to get as close as possible first!
We were booked into the restaurant on the first night and the food was exceptional and would have had no hesitation eating there the second night had we not previously booked elsewhere. Breakfast was a very good buffet that was hot, freshly cooked, plentiful and very tasty.
We have had no hesitation in rebooking - the only problem was the hotel was almost booked up but we did manage to get in and really looking forward to our next stay!
