A perfect spot to enjoy the Lakes whilst only minutes from the M6. Quiet location and I had views into the countryside.
Lovely fresh breakfast and perfect leaf tea.
The hosts couldn’t have been better and went out of their way to help me.

I travel up and down the M6 to/from Hereford to Oban fairly regularly. It’s a long an arduous journey particularly in the winter. Westmorland is a godsend of a hotel almost exactly half way and is an oasis of comfort and warmth literally at the side of the motorway. I love the convenience, the comfort, the friendliness and the fact you feel you are on the moors and a million miles from a motorway. You could not wish for a better night stop to recharge your batteries. Be sure to ask about the secret road between north and south services especially for hotel customers- so you can easily access the hotel when travelling south (because hotel is on M6 North)

Tebay services…. what a fabulous cocooning experience!
Tebay services…. what a fabulous cocooning experience! I came off the M6 on a wild wet dark evening and stepped into simple luxury and contemporary cosiness - I left the next morning early, completely restored.
I was journeying from the borders of scotland to the south coast and realised I’d run out of energy for the drive- an unplanned stop- but having experienced sitting by the open fire with my book after a delicious simple supper, slept in a divine comfortable bed, a nice hot bath -a delicious breakfast - i’ll make the time to stop here EVERY time i pass from now - special thanks for the gluten free and vegan options tebay!

There was a well stocked farm shop within walking distance, a great pub which was reasonably priced with a good menu. The food was delicious, it had an outdoor beer garden and lit up seating area, a play park for the kids, it played great music and had a good atmosphere, everyone was so friendly.
Tebay has many local walks, it is in the perfect location, in between the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales.

Central location, ideal for exploring the area.
Central location, ideal for exploring the area. Hotel very good. Service top class. Plenty of breakfast options. Can eat at service station at any time. Good variety to choose from. Recommend the farm shop. Food any local crafts available.
We were only there overnight but had a really warm welcome in the evening (even though it was late!) and at breakfast. The room was really nice and clean with super comfortable beds and en-suite. It was dark and quiet so we slept really well and came down to a delicious breakfast. The house backs on to open moorland which was perfect for a dog walk before we left. It was raining in the morning so there was a log burning stove at the entrance to warm you if you got wet.
I found The Old School house very relaxed and friendly, with good information about where to eat in the evening. I felt very safe as a single woman travelling on my own. The room was very comfortable and the en suite had an excellent shower.
There was a good choice at breakfast and well cooked.
I would definitely consider staying in the future, especially as Tebay is in a very useful location when travelling further afield on M6.
This hotel is exceptionally conveniently located for travellers making the journey between central/southern England and central/Northern Scotland, who are seeking to break the journey up the M6. It is accessible from Tebay Services (North or South-bound). The restaurant serves good food and the staff are friendly and efficient. There is a cosy bar area for pre-dinner drinks or coffee.
Have stayed before - and again found it to be so convenient just off M6 and way better than any other motorway hotel. Just as the Tebay/Westmorland Service stations are in a league apart from all other service stations so is the Westmorland hotel a league apart from your Days Inns! It’s all stone and tweed and log fires. Warm and friendly staff and delicious homemade food.
The staff were quite simply amazing from check in to check out. The rooms are perfect regarding size, cleanliness and comfort. The evening meal was exceptional. The restaurant staff so engaging, fun to talk to and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast the same.
The location of the hotel, views and proximity to the farm shop was also worth a note.
The Old School is a great B&B for stop-over on a long drive. Clean room, nothing fancy and great breakfast.
Cross Keys pub is a 5 minute walk so perfect for an evening meal. Fuel station in the village is great too, part of the Tebay Services family - diesel here a lot cheaper than at the motorway stop.
Great location, approx 5-10minutes from Tebay Services and the M6. Remote location with plenty of privacy. Loved the open plan living room and kitchen facilties. The design of the barn, the games room and sauna/steam room all very good features. The design / decor were impressive and well thought out.
Ideally located just off the M6, and very easy to find, with plenty of parking. A very comfortable nights sleep with a well equipped en suite bathroom. A tasty breakfast in the morning, at a time of my choosing, with friendly staff.
A really lovely B&B hosts were very friendly and made a lovely breakfast for us. Location is just off the motorway at Tebay so was an ideal location for us.
