Lounges at Shap Wells Hotel

The extensive lounge and bar facilities, alive with the hum of activity or restfulness, play host to hundreds of guests most days: each enjoying its own unique character; from the Victorian front lounge (right) with blazing log fire, to the glitzy art deco Birbeck Restaurant.

Shap Wells has extensive lounges with bar facilities, one of which, the Riverside Lounge (Shown left), overlooks the river Birkbeck and fells. The Salterwath Lounge is designated a no smoking area and the adjoining Fell Bar is a 'pub' type bar with pool table and juke box. There is entertainment in one of the bars two or three times each week during the summer months. Log fires are a feature of the Foyer and Salterwath Lounges in the winter.

Our bars are well stocked with a good range of beverages, and our drinks prices are kept in the same range as the local Cumbrian pubs. Our wine list offers an imaginative selection of wines from around the world. The emphasis is on friendly attentive service in a busy yet informal atmosphere.
