We had such a lovely overnight stay here. There was a very warm welcome from the staff who were also really helpful in helping us when we got back from our very muddy walk, and offered to clean and dry our boots. This was much appreciated. Lovely breakfast and evening meal and everyone so friendly.

Recently returned from The love lady shield hotel. What a little gem. In the heart of the country side. Stunning views a babbling brook runs along side of it green valleys hills. Plenty of routes to take for hikers. The place is just beautiful. The management staff and the chef give you a 100% attention. The bed room was clean and cosy with plenty of rooms to sit and relax. The food was exquisite from the evening meal an afternoon tea and breakfast. If it's peace and quite your after a relaxing break highly recommend it

Absolutely incredible stay, we stayed at poppythorn cottage and it was amazing, the space is beautiful, clean and has everything you might need. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. We brought 2 dogs with us and they were so welcome in the stay. I honestly don’t have words to describe how good our stay was

Went here on Easter Monday for a morning coffee. We were going to sit outside but it was a but chilly. So we went into coffee lounge. The lady who served us was very polite. She told us that she was from Sunderland when she heard us talk. Coffee was lovely. Their was a Easter egg hunt going on. A sheep come into the garden just walking around, it was a lovely site to see. We will be going here again. 100 /100%

What a hidden gem this place is. First time we have stayed. My partner and two dogs stayed here for a couple of nights and it was absolutely wonderful. The staff are so lovely and welcoming, the room we had was lovely and the pillows were really good quality and made for a good night's sleep. Breakfast was plentiful and good quality ingredients. The grounds were perfect for our dogs to explore. A really peaceful location. We can't wait to go back again.

A truly delightful retreat in a beautiful and remote area. From the very start, we were greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that set the tone for an unforgettable stay. Surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature—the gentle flow of the river and the cheerful chirping of birds—it was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed at Lovelady Shield hotel and it didn’t disappoint. The staff are amazing and make you so welcome, nothing is a bother. Our evening was the best meal out we’d had in a long time and the breakfast was definitely the best we’d had too! Only downside is the access road, it really needs some improvement but we’ll still be back again!

This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed here and the staff are absolutely first class, customer service is clearly a high priority. We had an evening meal in the restaurant and have to say, the food was superb. The best ‘meal out’ we’ve had in a long time. The steak and the burger were cooked to perfection, no room left to try the dessert menu though! Thank you
