Temple Sowerby was a lovely quiet village with great views of the Pennines. Dog walk to a local National Trust property was easy to find. Lovely pub, The King’s Arms just along the road from where we stayed served lovely evening meals too.

Temple Sowerby is great walking territory and very handy for Penrith where there were many tempting places to eat. Dining at The King's Arms however was a good decision and we especially enjoyed the breakfast.

A very old, unusual village with a maypole that was about 40 foot high. A pleasant area to walk around. It was very easy to travel to other ares. Acorn House a NT property was close by with interesting gardens. The Kings Arms served excellent food.

A very pleasant place to stay .
A very pleasant place to stay .Staff are friendly pleasant and helpful.Food was excellant. Only thing to let the village down was the great lack of a village shop,not only for the locals ,passing trade,and guests of both inns in the village. I think it could be a goldmine and would add considerably to enhance a stay in Temple Sowerby.

The location is in a quiet village on the edge of the lakes and if you want you can easily drive there as the main road in to the lakes is 5 minutes drive.
But if you want to stop local there is footpaths in all directions and we would if stopped longer would have explored.
The main plus for us was that in the future and more time it would be a great area to explore more and relax in if you want.
This is a wonderful small hotel in a beautiful location. Lovely comfortable rooms, tastefully decorated with every possible amenity. The manager, a delightful Polish lady, did everything to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Dinner was outstanding (her home made cheese-cake is to die for!) and breakfast was equally good. This was the last night of a two week holiday in the Lake District and Scotland and could not have been better - easily the best accommodation of the trip (and by no means the most expensive.) Simply outstanding.
What a perfect & lovely house. I had the best nights sleep in a hotel for many years. My room was a good size spotlessly clean & the bathroom (although not massive) was appropriate, clean & warm.
The breakfast was excellent & my only downside was the temperature of the plate (this is a pet subject for me). I eat relatively quickly but even so my cooked breakfast was quite cool by the time I'd finished (it all by the way).
All this for LESS than the price of a Premier Inn - Perfection!
Everything. This far exceeded our expectations. This was our dog's first stay in a hotel and he was treated like royalty! The room was spotless and the bedding immaculate. Breakfast was amazing - and we were lucky enough to be able to sit outside as the weather was so good. This place is perfect - for people and their dogs. The beautiful garden is walled so our labrador was free to run.
A small hotel/pub in a quiet village off the A66, this made a good stop for us on the way back from Scotland, but could easily be a base for a longer stay (they seem to specialise in fishing packages).
The staff were friendly. Dinner and breakfast were good, with a good range of choice (will cook a fish if you catch one). The room was cosy and comfortable.
We enjoyed our stay at this fabulous B&B, the rooms were clean and very comfortable, great location, very quiet, the staff were curtious at all times. The breakfasts were delicious. Would recommended The House at Temple Sowerby and definitely consider staying if we were in the area in the future.
I stayed one night and found the House at Temple Sowerby a great location for a stopover. The room was clean and well kept and there was a good supply of tea, coffee and water. The bed was very comfortable, I had a restful night followed by a lovely Breakfast.
Location was perfect in the centre of the village and near Acorn Bank NT property. The breakfast was wonderful--lovely fruit and yoghurt plus really good cooked food.
Cafe for tea at the backof the hotel was excellent too--great scones.
I know the King's Arms very well from a previous trip so I know the staff and I would always be happy to stay here. An exceptional hotel run by exceptional people. Food always to a high standard. Room clean, tidy and spacious.
We had a very enjoyable stay along with our small dog & were made very welcome. All staff were extremely friendly & helpful.
Food was delicious. We will certainly recommend the Kings Arms at Temple Sowerby.
Fabulous location, the hotel room was large, very comfortable and quiet. Dog friendly and all the staff were very good around our bouncy Springer Spaniel. The food was very good. Excellent hotel.
