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.

This country guest house is situated just 3 kilometres (2 miles) from junction 40 of the M6/A66, offering you a small, luxurious and homely alternative to regular travel accommodation.

Some hotels and guest houses can be very impersonal and soulless, treating each guest as little more than a name or number. At The White House Guest House, we are very different, focusing our efforts on providing a personal and unique service, where all our guests are treated as individuals.

staff very healpful and accommodation very high standard

    Cute studio, a big room with all you need for a couple nights away. Perfect hot tub in a lovely front garden with fairy lights and a space to sit outside. Location was excellent a minute away from anything you need. We have loved trying different cafes in the area of which there are plenty. Helen is a lovely host too, very accommodating and the chocolates were a nice touch to the room. Me and my boyfriend loved staying here and we would definitely come back again

    Nothing was too much trouble for the lovely hosts and staff at The Brantwood! Our meals (dinner and breakfast) were of the highest quality. We were staying for just one night following an eye op, and could not have been made to feel more welcome

    Peaceful, clean and cosy! The Cobbles was the perfect bolthole for my trip to Cumbria. The fire was so cosy, the place was lovely and clean, it was equipped with everything I needed to cook and feel at home, and had a nice comfy bed. Also thank you so much to the lovely host for leaving some welcome goodies and firewood, thank you for a wonderful stay :)

    The new refurbishment downstairs in the bar and restaurant area were very tastefully done and looked beautiful. Will love to go again when the upstairs will be completed . The present owners have only been there six weeks but have done an amazing job and are lovely hosts. The food was extremely good.
