Penrith hotellia

Plussat: Friendly hosts homely atmosphere

Miinukset: All goof

Plussat: Excellent hosts. Really good bed.

Plussat: Richard and Elaine were fantastic hosts, we enjoyed meeting them. Breakfast was excellent, with plenty of choice. The room was very comfortable and there was nothing we needed or wanted that wasn't provided. The property is ideally located: everything just a few minutes' walk away. We liked the commitments to local suppliers and environmental support and the fact that Richard and Elaine are clearly embedded in the local community.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: There wasn't anything to dislike.e er

Plussat: The location was very close to the town (A 5 minute walk). We did not book a breakfast online but would highly recommend it. The full English was only £6 and it was huge and beautifully cooked and hot.

Miinukset: We were happy with everything and Elaine was so helpful with all the local information too.

Plussat: Very comfortable and lovely hosts, would definitely return.

Plussat: Breakfast was fabulous

Plussat: Comfortable room and good parking.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The location and that the hosts went the extra mile in helpfullnes. For example, when we left before breakfast was served, we were given a picnic to take with us.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Breakfast was unbelievable. Set you up for the day

Plussat: Me and my 80 year old dad stayed overnight as a stopover on a long drive up to Scotland. We were met by the owners, Steve and Jackie, who were great company and made sure we were well looked after. The twin room was decorated to a good standard and the beds were comfortable (we both had a great sleep!). The bar was cosy with a lovely open fire and the food was very nice. As a stopover this was perfect for us.

Plussat: It was a perfect little holiday.The hospitality was superb ,with such friendly people as we expect in this part of Cumbria.The food was excellent ,the rooms were warm.and a lovely log fire in the bar.Thank you very much everyone.

Miinukset: The weather!

Plussat: Food was lovely and staff polite and friendly.

Plussat: I read previous reviews and they were all spot on. Absolutely marvellous stay, we were only there for one night en-route to a seperate destination. The Inn is in a great location. The hosts and all the staff were so friendly, the lounge was really cosy, the bedrooms beautifully clean and the bed one of the most comfortable we have ever slept in. The evening meal was delicious, breakfast equally so. We will be returning!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Friendly and welcoming with good food

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Bed was very comfy. Room very clean & food excellent

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything was on par lovely

Miinukset: Everything

Plussat: Lovely place to stay. Warm welcome. Room was immaculate. Breakfast was amazing. Highly recommended

Plussat: We had a lovely large room which had a great selection of tea/coffee and treats! The bathroom was modern, clean and spacious. The breakfast was fantastic!

Plussat: Everything was well considered and well arranged. Our room was really comfortable, it had a wonderful bay window overlooking an interesting park on a quiet street. The room came with a great array of goodies to try, like home made fresh chocolate biscuits and fruit, and surprises all around the room. The staff were super helpful and took great care to welcome and explain their home and room. The couple clearly work hard to make their guests feel like Royal guests. We had a family room each with a separate bed. We also had a sofa and space in both the room and the bathroom. My father raved on and on about the professional level of food preparation and the ultra fresh fruit on offer with the breakfast. This guest house should be top of your preferences to stay in Penrith, because it is so central, yet so quiet and handy too. We enjoyed our short stay and cannot fault the standards and offer on any level.

Miinukset: I did not like the fact we paid the same price elsewhere on our trip for a far lower standard. Other guest houses will struggle to match the Albany's excellence. Perhaps the only thing I did not warm to were the pictures of Tuscan countryside houses adorning the walls on my Cumbrian adventure. They did bring sun and colour to the rooms, but my point is that they perhaps celebrated the beauty of other places rather than stunning Penrith and it's beautiful surroundings. I found that funny.

Plussat: Excellent dinner in the restaurant. Local ingredients, well cooked and beautifully presented at a reasonable cost.

Miinukset: Nothing. Ideal for the stop-over night i needed on the way to the north.

Plussat: The stuff where great ! Very kind and smiling faces. The service was great as well.

Miinukset: The shower wasn't comfortable at all.

Plussat: Very convenient for the motorway.

Miinukset: Very expensive for the facilities. Around the area hotels are available with breakfast at a lot less by the night. Bit disappointing on price for what was in offer.

Plussat: The breakfast was very nice and the local ale was nice

Miinukset: The shower wasn’t very powerful, maybe the pressure I don’t know

Plussat: Anton is an excellent mine host. Staff are friendly and nice. Dinner was very good. Bedroom was very clean and comfortable - fairly basic, but good value for money. We would highly recommend The Strickland Arms as a stopping off point en route to or from Scotland.

Miinukset: Nothing. It is not the Ritz, but does not pretend to be! An excellent, friendly pub with rooms.

Plussat: Very friendly staff. Excellent food. Perfect for a group travelling together

Miinukset: We would have liked to have a TV in the room

Plussat: great food , warm and friendly welcome, great accommodation, can not fault the place would stay again , the owners and staff make you feel at home and cannot do enough for you.

Miinukset: cannot find fault with anything to do with The Strickland Arms, Would recommend it to anyone .

Plussat: The owners,Anton & Penny are just the perfect host which is why we booked to stay again.The warmest of welcomes & a personal touch to accommodate our needs meant our stay was perfect!!! Cant wait to book again..

Plussat: Warm welcome Cosy accommodation Excellent food

Plussat: Owners were very welcoming & accommodation very comfortable. Ideal for travelling with a dog. Food at the pub is all locally sourced. Both the evening meal & breakfast were delicious. Would definitely stay again, when in the area.

Plussat: Deep in Lake District, great food: Penny's pies are excellent , kitchen understands what is "medium rare" steak as well and it was great. Very friendly with dogs. We took the huts and they are nicer then in the pictures. Full "thumbs up" from us!

Plussat: Comfy beds lovely staff amazing food. Just a fab place

Miinukset: Only staying one night

Plussat: The Hotel was above any expectation. Staff upon arrival were amazing! Pre-stay my dietary needs were questioned and evening dinner was great! I cannot fault the helpfulness afforded! Properly bowled over by how I was treated! 5/5! View was stunning! Far reaching views across open land! :)

Miinukset: Only issue - the bathroom has an interconnecting window which was high up and frosted. At 0645hrs someone in the adjacent room turned the light on causing my room to get light! I was having an extra 20 minutes in bed before getting up and this spoiled the plan! :(

Plussat: A superb hotel with excellent quiet location. Ideal for families and business travel alike

Miinukset: Wifi in lodges was poor. I think this was only temporary though

Plussat: Beautiful stunning apartments Friendly staff Very quiet, the apartments were well insulated and you could not hear anything from other guests

Plussat: The breakfast is superb

Plussat: Lovely old house and the room was great. S

Miinukset: Nothing. All good.

Plussat: We had the 2-bedroom mews property. It was beautifully decorated. Bedding was super comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. Had the most relaxing, comfortable stay which was what we had wanted.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Fantastic location which is lovely and quiet, luxurious room with a fabulous bathroom (corner bath included), delicious food and really pleasant staff. I am very lucky that I get to work in the area every few months and I always try and stay here.

Miinukset: I like everything about this lovely place.

Plussat: Excellent br eakfast . Location was ideal being just outside the hubbub of the Lake District but with the National Park easy to access.

Plussat: great country pub with lovely staff and superb food

Plussat: The staff are extremely friendly. Food was great. Bed was fantastic.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Cosy country pub with excellent food

Miinukset: The pub was a bit small and cramped especially as we brought our dog

Plussat: 10 out of 10 all round , drink, food, accommodation, staff and locals. One of the best pubs we’ve stayed in ever.

Plussat: The accommodation had a warm, spacious and homely feel and Pru,the guest house owner, was most welcoming and accommodating, even giving us a lift to our wedding venue. The breakfast was wonderful and hearty on a cold December weekend, with plenty of choice. Pru was exceedingly attentive and nothing was too much trouble- thank you. We will be back to explore the area further.

Miinukset: Minor improvement would be if the bathroom door in our family bathroom could be adjusted- just needs a new catch.

Plussat: My room was very clean and tidy. Breakfast was excellent.

Plussat: Superb welcome, very helpful and friendly, comfy bed, huge bedroom and excellent breakfast

Plussat: Lovely host, really nice rooms and excellent Breakfast. Really made us feel welcome.

Miinukset: Leaving

Plussat: The owner was the kindest lady I've met, I had very bad news just after I arrived, she was so thoughtful and lovely, I am truly appreciative.

Miinukset: Room was very small and bathroom was outside room but it was very comfortable and bathroom was private

Plussat: Fabulous location and excellent facilities - perfect for the wedding we attended.

Plussat: The property is very clean and in a very nice setting. Rooms are big and clean.

Miinukset: The rooms where far to hot and I couldn’t open the window or turn the heat down. The shower pressure was very low.

Plussat: Location was stunning. Hotel was very clean and had a relaxed atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: All of the lovely Christmas decorations up in October!!!

Plussat: It was a quiet cosy environment with nice fixtures and fittings and polite friendly staff

Miinukset: Nothing I didnt like it's just there were no leisure facilities pool gym etc couldn't get a mobile signal I'm o2 and only vodaphone in the valley

Plussat: The views. The walks. The Christmas feel. The staff. Will definitely be back

Plussat: The bed was very comfortable and we loved the underfloor heating in the bathroom. We ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the hotel and all of the food was delicious!

Miinukset: When we could not be seated immediately in the dining room for dinner, we were told that we could go to the bar to eat and if we didn't like the food in the bar that we should tell the bar staff to ask for a table in the dining room. We would have preferred them to tell us that we could wait in the bar and that they would come for us when our table was ready in the dining room. To be fair, we should have booked a table for dinner.

Plussat: We stay here all the time. Love this hotel.

Plussat: Wonderful location right on the lake. Staff friendly and efficient.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Unique location. Quirky style

Miinukset: Room noisy due to air ventilation equipment running all night on outside wall of room

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Pass

Plussat: I'm unfamiliar with those little faces-mojis I believe they are called,-so I may have picked the wrong one every time.Suffice it to say that where applicable I wanted to rate every service category very highly.

Miinukset: The lack of any signage to the hotel was very inconvenient for my wife and myself.We had to leave our car where we could in Pooley and walk in the pouring rain to the nearest shop to ask for directions.In our experience it is most unusual for hotels of Sharrow Bay's class not to have directional signs of any kind on display in the vicinity.

Plussat: Lovely country house feel . Very attentive nice staff . We’re upgraded to a beautiful room

Miinukset: Slightly too soft a bed for us

Plussat: A very charming country house hotel, with amazing views and very friendly staff.

Miinukset: Evening meal was a set price for three course, which we feel was over priced. However the food was very nice.

Plussat: Food was excellent, staff very friendly and efficient. We went for a pre-Christmas one night break. Didn't disappoint. Bad weather outside, nice and cosy inside.

Plussat: a lovely place in the aera.

Miinukset: It's really difficult to join the place by car. It's such a gravel road with a lot of holes for may be 1 mile. More signs to join the hostel are welcome.

Plussat: Fantastic place to stay. Really helpful & friendly staff. Will be back soon!

Plussat: Location Self catering option Comfy beds

Miinukset: Would have liked a bit more space in the room. Maybe a chair.

Plussat: Great location, lovely staff

Plussat: Awesome location but come prepared so you don't need to travel back down to the village for supplies!

Plussat: Absolutely amazing location and with very friendly and helpful staff, coupled with a great little bar which served a decent range of beer. If you want a perfect stopping spot to reach the peaks this is it

Miinukset: Nothing about the site itself, the place is clean, warm and well cared for, so no issues with that. The only item to note is the road up is rather ragged, it is a tricky drive and has potential to damage a low set car, but let's face it, you are there for the walking, just drive up slowly and enjoy the scenery

Plussat: The staff were brilliant, the lady who was on reception and running the dining room was excellent - very understaffed but she kept everyone fed, watered and happy. Food on offer at dinner was good with a varied menu; breakfast was also good - plenty of cooked food and nice coffee. The chip shop further up the high street is great (if like us you’re greedy and want a pre-dinner meal!)

Miinukset: The hotel is cold and impersonal, it has had a recent refurbishment however it feels poorly done.

Plussat: Staff a very friendly and the food was amazing!

Plussat: Very comfortable and clean hotel, friendly staff comfortable and warm, good breakfast all in all great stay

Miinukset: Could do with information pack in rooms, signage to reception, more toilet rolls in bathroom

Plussat: Stayed for the night before heading home to Scotland. Clean ,comfortable good value for money with very nice food and friendly staff. Would definitely stay again.

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: It was excellent. Nothing could have been better.

Plussat: Comfortable clean country-style inn

Miinukset: The loud music until late under our room

Plussat: We had a spacious clean room and it’s a very dog friendly place. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Also they catered to our request for a vegan breakfast with no problems at all. We would definitely stay here again.

Miinukset: Only a tiny thing but there was no handle on the inside of the bathroom so it was difficult to shut.
