Nice hotel very close to the city centre. When you prefer to walk, it'll take about 25 minutes to see the real city centre. The hotel is very nice situated. It's near Marques de Pompal where you can hop on the metro. The rooms are...More

Maybe this is what passes for a 4 star hotel in Portugal, but it falls far short of that standard that I typically see in the rest of the world. For 85 euros a night, it should have been better. The rooms are very tired...More
If you want to live a long time in this aparthotel, I do not recommend it at all for "business travelers". It is not an apart hotel! You cannot almost cook, the fridge is a mini bar... the rooms are spacious but with very old...More

First, the hotel is overpriced, considering what it offers. The first impression is that it seems a huge hostel. There are many people with very bad look everywhere: parking, reception, pool .... This makes it very noisy. The hotel is very dirty. The room smells like fart. It isn't clean, and I think not even change the sheets. The staff... More
We popped into the Kings Arms when staying in Cartmel. Our trip up had been very slow, thanks to horrible traffic on the M6 (Friday night, half term!), so we were more than ready to relax and get something to eat when we got there....More
We were staying locally an arrived late with our dog. The barman was fine with us bringing our dog in and we sat in a quiet area to the right of the door. The only food they did that night (Friday) was pizza but that...More
Had a weekend away with family and called for a lunch and a pint here the atmosphere was great tipical local pub but the food was far from good it was just your pub grub nothing great but the beer was good
Shame the band let them down they got a replacement but unfortunately nobody could relate to his music or sing along to. Kitchen not open at the moment and looks like closed for some time due to building being listed. Plans not in yet.
Nice traditional pub with good fire. The kitchen is being refurbished so no food available but we were directed next door to The Royal Oak
Oh dear what a disaster. Ordered fish and chips and fish arrived raw inside the batter. The waitress was pleasent enough but looked uninterested and unsure what to do. She took the plate and the fish was ‘rebattered’ wherevitvhad been cut into. I Knew this...More
Visited the Kings Arms for a meal whilst staying in Cartmel and it did not disappoint. The pub has been decorated to a high standard with wonderful photos all along the walls showing Cartmels history. For my starter I had soup of the day which...More

Had a day trip to Cartmel and enjoyed pub lunch at thr Kings Arms. Shared a sea food platter which was delicious?, especially the battered hake. Quantity was generous. Recommended.
Great atmosphere of a local village pub which is very friendly to the tourists and does not make them feel like outsiders. Not only the staff, but even the local customer's are friendly. Food is Pub-fare - simple, hot, and tasty....great portions too...
An 18th Century Inn full of character, mixing contemporary furnishings with traditional decor, and real log fires.Great outside seating area overlooking the main Square in the village, fantastic for watching the world go by.

We had been meaning to go since it opened as my husband is a huge NFL fan and Sunday night is game night. Unfortunately there is no atmosphere. The place should be buzzing but there were only a few fans in their respective team jerseys....More

Visited here with friends on a rainy Saturday afternoon, on entry it was slightly disappointing and very quiet but we gave it the benefit of the doubt. Our starters were ok, but nothing spectacular. On getting our mains we were very disappointed...a £16 burger (dude...More

Passing by looking for somewhere to eat with a friend before a theatre show. Looks good from first impression. Waitress was friendly. Cocktail choice was good and although the menu looks large there doesn’t seem to be a great variety (no I’m not a fussy...More
Visited for dinner and to watch the boxing. Excellent service, great screen for live events, and good deal with the 2 for 10 pound cocktails!
Located across the road from the train station with a brilliant Giant TV to watch sports etc. Pricey drinks and food ... food pretty average. Lots of potential but needs more work.
Breezed in to watch footy, still here 6hrs later. Great food, drink and service, get yourselves down here, it’s quality!
Had a great lunch with a friend. Good value and great service. Have to say a massive thank you to Mel who saved my phone for me.

Villa Kerasi is a gorgeous new villa designed in traditional Skopelos style with the most stunning views and easy access to Skopelos town. The villa has many windows and doors that open up to allow the pine scented breeze to flow through. The al fresco dining area overlooking the pool and town below has as it's centrepiece a massive chestnut table that seats up to 14 persons (built on the island by a local craftsman) as well as a traditional wood oven and BBQ. This is a wonderful place to dine and enjoy sun-downers as the sun sets and the lights come up in the village. Comfortable, fresh and completely relaxing, Villa Kerasi is tastefully decorated with a casual beach feel. The villa is well appointed with everything you will need and is set in its own 1 acre olive grove.
The kitchen is fully equipped with dishwasher, stove, oven, full-sized fridge/freezer, toaster, juicer, kettle and french press coffee maker. The villa caters well to large groups and has four bedrooms, each with its own luxurious en-suite bath and all are equipped with air conditioning. Three of the bedrooms open directly onto the beautiful, large pool area. The poolside is furnished with umbrellas, lounge chairs, an outdoor shower and a gorgeous cabana over-looking the town. Walking the 1.4 km to and from town takes approximately 25 minutes. The last 300m up to the house is steep. The road is fully paved and having a hire car is essential, ideally a Jimny or similar. Car hire is available through Magic Cars or one of the other local providers on the island. We're sure you'll enjoy our villa as much as we do and hope you'll make yourself at home. After careful consideration and feedback from our guests, we now have WiFi connected to the property.
My wife Sally and I knew from two previous visits to Skopelos - one in 1998 when our five children and niece ranged in age from 12 to 16 and the second in 2005 when all six children were older - that the island is...More

Skopelos village is a brilliant white town that spills down one of the two majestic headlands that frame the picturesque harbour. The maze of winding pedestrian streets and the beautiful traditional Skopelitan-style houses invite visitors to get lost exploring the town. Skopelos is much less touristy than many Greek islands and remains something of a hidden gem. As a result there is a perfect balance of locals and visitors. The community remains very authentic and you will see skopelos cheese makers leading their horses laden with milk as well as herds of the unique red-brown Skopelos goat impeding your path. The joys of Skopelos include its traditional tavernas and there is always a fresh seafood lunch or dinner waiting in one of the villages or on a sea-front patio. Days are usually... more
Skopelos village is a brilliant white town that spills down one of the two majestic headlands that frame the picturesque harbour. The maze of winding pedestrian streets and the beautiful traditional Skopelitan-style houses invite visitors to get lost exploring the town.

The community remains very authentic and you will see skopelos cheese makers leading their horses laden with milk as well as herds of the unique red-brown Skopelos goat impeding your path. The joys of Skopelos include its traditional tavernas and there is always a fresh seafood lunch or dinner waiting in one of the villages or on a sea-front patio. Days are usually filled with visits to the beach, to the monasteries and, of course, to the tavernas. There are great hiking and mountain biking opportunities. Although there is a good bus service as well as taxis connecting the villages and beaches, there is so much to experience that a hire car will pay itself off many times over. Having your own car allows you to explore the mountain roads, take in all of the many beaches, tour the remote monasteries and even visit the famous Mama Mia church (Agios Ioannis).
Charter flights to Skiathos are available from many European cities during the tourist season and from there it is about a 30 minute ferry to Skopelos. You can also fly into Athens or Thessaloniki and from there it is about two hours by car or bus to the nearest ferry port. New ferry connections are being introduced to Thessaloniki.
