Reviewed By annieb194 - East Riding of Yorkshire, United Kingdom

This gallery is a delight. Full of lovely things including art work, pottery and books. It was an unexpected find and a source of joy. The owner (?) is a kind and informative man. I wish I had had more time to peruse everything and then have coffee and cake.

They were so friendly and helpful, made us feel very welcome to the town and region. We met the Major who allowed us a peep at the 11th Century Moot Hall - fans of Harry Potter will spot the reference. Worth a stay

St Anne's Hospital

Reviewed By SharonJT67 - Durham, United Kingdom

Easy to find, half way up the road towards the castle & plenty of free parking nearby. Several little houses set off a cobbled courtyard with a lovely fountain in the centre and a little chapel in the left corner, if you go out the gate behind the fountain there is a stunning little garden, what a lovely place, appears to still house local residents.

Sandford Arms Appleby

Reviewed By ManchesterExplorers - Manchester, United Kingdom

This hotel is situated in a very small village in Sanford near Appleby. The hotel is not very big but quaint, the room we stayed in was quiet large as it had a child's bed in as well as a king sized bed. It was clean as was the bathroom with lots of hot water. There is a bar and a small restaurant, we stayed two days and ate there both evenings. The food was very good and plenty of it. For breakfast you have a very good choice and my husband had the Cumbrian breakfast both mornings which was huge. There is some really pretty villages to visit and some good walking near by. This is a great place stay for a few days if you like being away from it all.

Golden Ball

Reviewed By Hantsman99 - Hampshire, United Kingdom

All towns should have a pub like this. The beer quality is key here. Yes, the pub is tatty and run-down, in need of decoration etc. But the beer quality is 100%. Landlord drinks real ale himself, washes his dispense lines out regularly and looks after the ale properly. All evidenced by the clean glass it is drunk from. Take no notice of his mood-swings, he has a friendly lurcher dog. It's a pub to drink, read or chat in. No frills, no food, a proper back street pub and step back in time to the 1960's. You visit this pub for the ale quality, nothing else. There are 4 hand-pumps, mainly from the Jennings, Ringwood range, but guest beers are often from Cross Bay, Morecambe, Lancs, a distinct hoppy range that are popular in Cumbria.
