Stayed one night in Room 5 and sadly won’t be returning. The room was very poorly maintained and had a strong, unpleasant smell of old cooking oil that seemed to linger throughout the entire property. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, and the bedding had visible stains. The bathroom was particularly concerning — loose floorboards made it feel unsafe to walk on, there was tape over a broken electric shower (which seemed highly dangerous), and the ceiling light fitting had no cover at all. Overall, the room felt dirty, musty, and neglected. I even tried to rebook elsewhere during my stay, but unfortunately everywhere was full, otherwise I would have left. I didn’t stay for breakfast as I couldn’t imagine what the kitchen conditions might be like given the state of the room. It’s a real shame to leave such negative feedback, especially as the building itself is quirky and full of potential. However, cleanliness and guest safety should be a minimum standard — even for budget accommodation. I hope this review helps others make an informed choice

Lovely host who clearly knew about hospitality. I loved the fresh milk and the car parking spot which wasn’t easy in this town. Great location

Though it was neat to say we stayed in a hotel from the 1600s. The room smelled of mildew and the private bath was outside the room and smelled of urine

Just what I wanted

I stayed at the Copper Kettle because it was a relatively short drive to the Howgills where I wanted to do some walking. I thought the price fo rmy stay was very reasonable and included breakfast (what I really wanted) and a packed lunch. The double room was spacious although the en-suite was a bit cramped but it was okay for me. The accommodation met all my requirements and I would have no hesitation in staying here in the future.

After spending 7.5 hours walking up Mount Whernside, I was looking forward to a hot meal and a comfortable bed; and that's just what I got! Cotton sheets and soft white fluffy towels were appreciated.Pamela was very welcoming and friendly. Only 2* accommodation but that was all that was required, therefore can't fault it; achieving my Mountain walk was my main aim! 💪excellent coffee in the morning! ☕😁 xx

Weekend trip

Ignore the reviews. Yes it's a 2 star hotel. And Yes it needs work doing to it. It was like a hotel that time forgot. Breakfast was basic full English. I dont eat meat so wasnt a problem I had eggs on toast and fruit if i wanted it. We found it charming, had character. The couple were lovely. Mrs Gamble couldn't do enough. Was like being at my Grandma's house. Thank you Mr and Mrs Gamble

I wouldn’t stay here if I was homeless

I can dribble harder than the shower The wall paper is coming off in the bath room, The bed is soft in places and solid in others It looks so run down, Room was generally dirty I fell like it’s clutching at straws to stay open they should call it a day I slept on top of the covers as I didn’t want to lift them up The locals all laughed when we said that’s where we are staying,

Well the worst reviews were true. It was like the 50’s. I actually felt sorry for the couple has it needs a lot of money spending on it. The wall near the window was wet with a covering of some sort of plastic wall paper on it. The whole place is very dated. The heating was an electric fire. Glad we was only staying one night has I would not stayed another night! Plus side bedding was clean and breakfast was ok and the lady was lovely.
