Owners couldn't have been more welcoming (even though they were still painting the new dining room for the Summer rush). Lovely location and well appointed room (looking to the Lakes), and delicious brekfast with locally sourced food and a big range of organic/sustainable providers. More

Used Penrith as a base for a couple of days cycling. A good welcome at Bank House and lots of good advice about the town and the surrounding area. A nice comfortable room, and an excellent breakfast. I would certainly stay again. More

This was the first time we had stayed in this part of Cumbria and we would definitely return to Bank House. The bedroom, including the shower room, had all we needed and with pleasing views. The breakfasts were excellent and we had plenty of choice of hot and cold food. We only had to mention our plans and we were... More

Sarah is very helpful offering places to see where to eat how to get there, she can even tell you which pub does the best... More
