Rooms at Albany House B&B come with a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities and either an en-suite or external bathroom. Bathrobes are provided.

The bed and breakfast is situated 7 km from the Whinfell Forest. Newcastle International Airport is 73 miles away.

The bedroom and bathroom were extremely clean (and shiny). There were clean towels everywhere! We had one queen bed and one single bed for two people which was plenty for us. There were working table, an extra basin, tea set (with electric kettle) and snacks provided in bedroom. The brownie was really good. Those snack helped us a lot because we were little tired when arrival. Our room is on second floor with window. The window was clean, clearly see the outside. The room temperature was perfect, not too cold or too warm also because of the weather that night was great. Susan is very lovely. The property was quiet. We didn't hear any noise from anywhere. The front door is inaccessible without the keys which made us feel safe. It's 5 minutes walk to bus station. The stagecoach runs during weekends every hour, explorer ticket can bring you around a lot. I had discount from Booking but this is definitely worth it. We hope to stay longer next time.

    Alison is a great host; warm, welcoming and very helpful. The room was warm and clean, the bed was comfortable and it was quiet at night. There were a number of breakfast options, and the food was of a good quality and well cooked. The location is excellent, with a private parking area at the rear of the property. I could walk into the town centre in a few minutes and it was ideally suited to visit Potfest. The accommodation is very good value for the prices, and No 3 will be my first choice on future visits to Penrith.
