Everything Really nice georgian house with an incredibly comfortable bed and beautiful room. The hosts were really accommodating with my check in time and were really nice to chat to. The room was all that I needed, with a cohesive decoration, and a shower with good pressure. There was a small fridge just outside the room where I was able to put some things to chill down. The breakfast was one of the best I had in a hotel, with lots of options, including gluten free and vegan. Fresh berries were also available. I will definitely repeat whenever I am up in Penrith.

    Always an excellent breakfast and an upgrade to a feature room was well worth it, first time we have done this. We visit twice a year (many years now) to visit family and the location is great. Staff always helpful and friendly. We did travel Sunday to Thursday this time so as to miss the likelihood of a large function as on the last visits the music has been very loud - this time was quiet late evenings which was great for us.

    A great location for an overnight stop on our journey to Scotland. The breakfast was excellent and the lady who served us was super helpful and didn't hesitate to make sure I could have a gluten free breakfast. The Inn is old and full of character and all staff we encountered were lovely. I would say it's an adequate place to for a cheap and cheerful overnight stay.
