Brooklands Guest House ★★★★

📍 2 Portland Pl, Penrith

"Stayed here whilst playing in a golf tournament. Beautifully furnished property. Very comfortable room with small fridge, kettle and coffee machine. Hot breakfast was freshly cooked to order, plenty of choice of juices, cereal, fruit and pastries. Sue has put a lot of thought in making this b&b a step above the rest - one of which was linen napkins at breakfast!! We will not hesitate to stay again."

The Shepherds Inn ★★★

"This hidden gem was the perfect place for lunch! We ordered the Highland Fries and Goat Curry with no expectations, but it blew us away. The food is so good, the staff were extremely friendly (even squeezing us in despite it being busy), and the atmosphere makes it even better. We will be coming back here!"

The George Hotel Hotels in Penrith

The George Hotel

"Stayed here on my coast to coast walk. Long day walking from Haweswater to Orton. Walked into the pub in the hope I could camp in their beer garden and received the best welcome I’ve ever had in a pub! Spoke to the manager and asked if they still allow coast to coast camping in the beer garden. His reply was literally “Yes of course. Now get that pack off and what do you want to drink?” Staying here was one of the highlights of my adventure. Had a great nights sleep! Free WiFi so after days wild camping I could catch up with friends and family and the food is first class. The George is such a friendly local village pub with a great atmosphere. If you’re planning your coast to coast, this is a definite place to stay! There’s not much other accommodation in the area so this was perfect! Thank you for an unforgettable welcome!!"

The Kings Arms Temple Sowerby Hotels in Penrith

The Kings Arms Temple Sowerby

"Stayed at the Kings Arms in Temple Sowerby with friends over Easter Sunday and had a brilliant time. The afternoon kicked off in the beer garden with a barbecue, live singer, hog roast and a special punch—all really well done and a great atmosphere. In the evening we had a fantastic meal—locally sourced venison in red wine jus, beautifully cooked. Easily 5* quality. The bar and lounge had a great feel—relaxed, moody lighting, and very much the modern vintage vibe. We ended the night in the games room with a few rounds of darts and pool. Rooms were a real surprise—much more spacious than expected, with large en-suites and spot-on for a 4* stay. Breakfast was just as good—buffet style with fried egg, grilled tomato, black pudding, haggis, bacon, and plenty of cereal options. All in all, the recently refurbed Kings Arms is a great choice for a short stay near Penrith and the Lakes. A few locals pointed us towards nearby fell walks with panoramic views—so we’ll definitely be back. Big thanks to the staff for a great stay."

The Brantwood Hotel Hotels in Penrith

The Brantwood Hotel

"Stayed here for work. I’d describe this as a pub with rooms. The room was quite small and the tv didn’t work but it was quiet and I slept well. Dinner was really nice - freshly cooked and the restaurant was busy which was a good sign. Nice cosy place with a wood burner in the bar."

Glendale Guest House Hotels in Penrith

Glendale Guest House

"I had a one night stay after a days walking in the fells. On arrival I had a the most warm welcome from the owner and felt at home straight away, she also gave me useful info about parking and directions to a local restaurant where I was meeting friends. My room was clean, warm and comfortable with pleasant decor, tea and coffee and modern en suite. It was easy to come and go and just 2 mins walk from the main street, bars and restaurants. I pre-ordered a full English breakfast which was delicious and served in nice surroundings. Overall a very pleasant experience, I’ll stay here again, thank you "

Abbey House B & B Hotels in Penrith

Abbey House B & B

"Host Vickie of Abbey House B&B definitely made our first trip to Penrith a truly memorable experience. She was prompt with our pre-arrival queries. We love our suite with the "Thoughtful Drawer", bathrobes and delicious breakfast spread. Bonus is also its convenient location to train and bus stations for day trip to Lake District as well as walking distance to village squares with quaint local-owned artisanal shops, markets, and diners. We wish we could have stayed longer than 2 nights. Thanks Vickie! ❤️"

Brooklands Guest House ★★★★
"My friends and I stayed for 5 nights at the end of July 26. We had a lovely stay. Sue our host was fabulous, so welcoming and helpful. This guest house is a gem, it’s gorgeous, so tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. It’s evident Sue outs her heart and soul into running Brooklands, nothing is too much. The breakfasts were delicious with plenty of choices. We stayed in the top floor attic rooms, they were comfortable. We had a few flights of stairs to reach the rooms, definitely worth it. A wonderful stay , I can understand why people return to stay here."

Macdonald Leeming House ★★★★
"Amongst the lakes, I thought Ullswater is the nicest in terms of view and serenity. Macdonald Leeming House has a peek view of the lake, together with a big grass patch. I opted to upgrade to a lake view room as the other side faces some shrubs, I was told. Room size wise is decent. For the price, I expected a bit more amenities like shower cap and slippers. The hotel was not receptive as there were no replies to my queries sent to the email listed on their website and through trip.com. When I clarified, the reception said the address I sent to were invalid? I did not like the food at the Regency Restaurant. Options were limited and my ham steak was over salty."

Shap Wells Hotel ★★★
"The service was good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our experience of the room was adequate, however we could not use the shower it was impossible to have a shower due to the low ceiling so we could not stand up straight. I personally could not use the bath due to myself falling a few years back and having a complete new elbow since this incident I am very cautious of getting into a bath. This being the case I did not have a proper clean. This was not good has we had been hiking and really wanted to get ourselves cleaned up and changed. The staff were very friendly and helpful and you could not fault the food at all it was excellent."
