To date, Albany House is the best B&B we have stayed in. Beautiful, comfortable rooms, excellent food (and I mean excellent!...the full English Breakfast was amazing) and truly wonderful hosts. They helped us above and beyond what one would expect. The location was ideal, especially for walking to the shopping center in the centre of town.

We stayed at this B & B whilst on the C2C and couldn't fault the facilities or service. Great welcome, very clean and comfy beds. The hot shower was lush after a long day on the saddle and the breakfast in the morning was amazing. The owner has gone out of her way to add touches like complimentary chocolate brownies... More

Really enjoyed staying here. Nice owners, too. Just a short walk to town. Well worth going. Would def stay again. Brilliant breakfast! Nice views out back, too, over the church. Good for bikers on the c to c, too. Lots of nice touches, such as snack and sweet in the room.

The rooms were modern, clean and very comfortable beds. Excellent en-suite shower room. Lots of tea, coffee and bottled water. The breakfast was very high quality, lots of lovely fresh fruit, porridge and beautifully cooked full English. Lovely touch of chocolate brownies in the room. I would definitely stay here again.

A pity I only had one night here as I really enjoyed my stay. I was working in Penrith for one day so had to travel up from London the day before which is why I booked a guest house. The Albany was a real 'find'. So very comfortable and clean with lots of smashing finishing touches. Excellent breakfast too.

We recently had the good fortune to spend an evening with friends and a 60th birthday celebration. We had a fantastic meal and stayed overnight for BB. The rooms are spacious, beautifully clean with all amenities. Plenty of tea and coffee with nice touches in the room, of homemade chocolate brownies and biscuits. Overall a fantastic night. Thanks to Sue,... More
