The on-site cafe and bar add convenience, while the surrounding countryside offers stunning walks. Hosts Paul and Wendy receive commendable mentions for their friendliness and helpfulness.
The property is consistently described as clean, with guests noting lovely clean rooms. No negative comments about cleanliness suggest a high standard is maintained.

Comfort is frequently highlighted, with special mentions of super comfortable beds and a warm atmosphere. One guest found the living room chairs less comfortable, which slightly impacts the score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped apartment and good showers. However, one review citing a lack of drinking glasses and distance to the TV suggests room for improvement.

We would highly recommend staying there. Shunner Fell suite/apartment had everything we needed. The Queen size bed was excellent, and very comfortable. The bedroom itself is spacious with an en-suite bathroom. Having a bar downstairs was great to relax and have a quiet drink. The staff there, are also very pleasant and friendly. Paul & Wendy made us welcome from day one! The area was great for local walks. Thwaite to Muker, Keld, and Reeth, along with Gunnerside are within easy reach. It was nice to have a Welcome Pack on arrival too.

Located on the Pennine Way and not far from the Coast to Coast with a wealth of other hills and dales to explore. The village is so picture postcard Dales village. I hardly used the self catering kitchen as the local villages all have pubs with good food and excellent beer. The landlord / owner was always around and always had time for a chat.

Town facilities are a fair distance away, although there is a small shop in Muker, the next village. The apartment was perfect for two, with comfortable seats in the living room and queen size comfortable bed. The proprietors were very welcoming and helpful, with wine, milk, and biscuits provided on arrival. Donât rely on eating in their restaurant, though. You may be able to sometimes, but they are not open every evening. The bar is available downstairs. So we mostly cooked in the apartment. If the proprietor would like to make one small improvement, a shelf above the washbasin in the en suite would be useful.
