About The Kings Arms
Main Street in Shap runs through fell country on the edge of the Lake District National Park, and The Kings Arms occupies a solid spot right in the middle of the village, close to the surrounding walking country that draws most visitors here. It's the kind of straightforward base you'd want after a day on the fells, with the national park's hills and paths within easy reach.
Rooms are en-suite and include family options, kept simple and comfortable rather than styled for show. Breakfast is served on site, packed lunches can be arranged for those heading out walking, and the bar and restaurant give guests somewhere to eat and drink without leaving the building. A garden and outdoor seating area add space to sit outside, and reception operates around the clock for guests coming and going at odd hours after long days out.
Beyond the hotel, Shap has its own pubs, restaurants and eateries, along with entertainment nearby and a golf course within reach for those wanting something other than walking. Pets are welcome, making it a practical stopover for those travelling with dogs as well as fellow walkers exploring the fells around the village.
