Liked: Staff & service
Parking good and seemed secure, missed the part of a £3 fee when booking, maybe we overlooked. Our standard room was on 3rd floor, no lift, so wished we’d packed lighter! An old building which might explain the marked slope in the room which took some adjustment. Hot water took an age to come through. Beer great in the bar. Top notch breakfast. Very pleasant & efficient staff. Hotel enjoys great position, suited us on a long journey from the Far North….would definitely stay here again.

A nice traditional hotel in a very lovely town that has lots of nice shops, cafes, pubs and history. Hotel is in need of some redecoration of rooms, maintenance of building exterior in courtyard but not enough to spoil to the stay. Well worth a visit.

Nice old hotel.

Lovely old hotel. Nice and clean. If you're any of the upper floors, there's no lift so be prepared to get your steps in. The food in the restaurant was great. The waiter was very attentive and helpful.

Great place, superb location!

We have stayed here before. The staff are great, food is good and there is plenty of space. The location is perfect in this lovely town. Dog friendly and human friendly too. It is an old hotel but that adds character not detracts from it. Highly recommend.

A delightful stay

This is a great place to stay and steeped in history. We also ate here which was convenient and good value. Thus is dog friendly allowing us to eat both dinner and breakfast with dog present. I was able to charge my EV with ease while parking in a secure car park.

Ideal stop off going or coming from the highlands

We stayed for one night on our way home from visiting the highlands with our dog , the room was quiet small to stay in , the breakfast was very tasty where you helped yourself to continental style plus you can have a cooked breakfast if required which was included in the stay, staff was friendly and helpful , the location is perfect to have a stroll round Penrith , plenty of places to eat and drink, as this is just off the motorway Penrith is busy with traffic, with the hotel on the road, we thought when we slept you would hear this but you don’t.
