Great hotel with oak panelling and creaky old wooden staircase. Our room (46) was spacious and had everything we needed including robes. There was even a bed and bowl waiting for our dog.

This is a good hotel. The staff are courteous and there is a private car park. Yet the noise at night from outside the hotel from pub goers was unbearable over the Bank Holiday weekend. We left at 10.30pm on the Sunday as we could not put up with it any longer. After complaining to the desk I was informed... More

We booked this hotel as we found a good deal with Travel Zoo, which included B&B with dinner. It is an excellent location for exploring the Eastern side of the Lake District. The Hotel has lots of character and some very impressive rooms, including a beautiful Ballroom. The Hotel appears to have been recently refurbished and although maybe not to... More

Visited here on 5th May 2013 - my first visit to Penrith. Very conveniently able to park right outside the hotel. It was very convenient that they served me tea even though I wasn't an overnight guest at the hotel - I needed a hot drink to set me up for my visit. Very spacious seating area; polite friendly staff.... More

Had a large room which had been refurbished very nicely and in keeping with the old Hotel however it was at the back overlooking the grubby backyard of the Hotel in need of painting and tidying up. The food in the nice small... More
