EXCELLENT Based on 162 reviews Posted on Google Ramillon FabriceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Très bon accueil de la part de la maîtresse de maison. Les chambres sont richement décoré et surtout très confortable et propre. Le petit déjeuner était divin et typiquement anglais, un régal. Je recommande bien volontiers.Posted on Google Iain RobbTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Booked the Brooklands after seeing the four in the bed show on TV as it stood out amongst others I had seen. Not at all disappointing, on arrival met by Sue and her two lovely dogs, later shown to the Ullswater room which is opulent, and spacious. The B & B is a very short walk from the town centre where there are numerous restaurants and hostelries (and shops). In the morning I’d opted for the full breakfast from an extensive list. The full breakfast was locally sourced and very tasty. Sue is very informative about the local area and a lovely host. Well worth a visit if you are stopping in Penrith! Well done !Posted on Google Steve MurphyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We stayed here to break a long journey from the Scottish Highlands to home. The location was perfect in a quiet road with easy on street parking and only a short drive from the motorway. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast was superb (including lovely selection of fresh fruits). We did a walk to the Beacon from here, providing views to the Lake District. We can recommend La Casita for an evening meal, less than 5 min walk. Highly recommendPosted on Google Rachel WhiteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Die Zimmer und das gesamte Haus sind sehr stilecht und chic eingerichtet, so dass man sich etwas so fühlt, als würde man eine Zeitreise unternehmen. Die Gastgeberin Sue ist reizend und sehr aufmerksam. Beim Frühstück empfehlen wir das köstliche und großzügig bemessene Omlett! Das Guesthouse hat völlig zu recht schon einige Preise als besondere Unterkunft erhalten - wir kommen wieder!Posted on Google Jane CrookTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We visited as a group as part of our charity coast to coast . Sue was always very speedy responding to messages . The rooms were luxury , loved the coffee maker too. Safe place to keep the bikes. There wasn't anything to find fault on . Breakfast was delicious , cooked breakfast . I can see why Sue won 4 in a bed . We will definitely return

Great stop over for the C2C or for any reason really. Very comfortable rooms, great facilities, close to centre of Penrith and surprisingly easy to get by bike or car despite being centrally located. First rate breakfast and overall service. Will definitely stop here again. Mike.Posted on Tripadvisor Steve BVerified A Stylish Sanctuary Amazing attention to detail and as good as all the reviews and publicity say it is. A little sanctuary very near the centre of Penrith.Posted on Tripadvisor DavemuvVerified The best Guesthouse we have ever stayed. What a stunningly beautiful guesthouse. We booked this place as a one night stopover on the way back from Scotland and wow, we wish we could have stayed for longer. We were warmly greeted by the owner Sue and her two little dogs, and enjoyed a lovely chat before being taken to our room (Windemere Suite). A stunning 4 poster bed, elegant décor and everything you could possibly need on hand. The attention to detail both in the room and the wider guesthouse is amazing, spotlessly clean in every nook and cranny, and so very comfortable. The location is perfect, with a short walk to the centre of Penrith town with its abundance of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. Free parking right outside the guesthouse is also available. This will be a place that we will definitely return to in the future.Posted on Tripadvisor Chris AVerified Perfect stay Beautifully kept house, very comfortable, delicious breakfast and very friendly hostess. The attention to detail was amazing. The beautiful Victorian style continued throughout the house. Very comfortable bed and very adequate bathroom. Thank youPosted on Tripadvisor Jane AVerified Birthday treat Amazing guess house understand why they won four in a bed tv programme Sue was a lovely host Fab breakfast Everything 100% and morePosted on Tripadvisor Holland127Verified Beautiful house with the comfiest best in Cumbria! Beautifully presented guest house which is only a couple of minutes walk into central Penrith. In line with the building itself, the decor is full of character, but at the same time has a modern feel (loved the coffee machine in the room). Beds were really comfy and it was the best nights sleep I had in a week walking the Settle to Carlisle trail. Sue the owner was very welcoming, breakfast was excellent, and she even sorted out our packing-up for walking the next day.Posted on Tripadvisor bycor1994Verified Elegant accommodation Lovely guest house in a charming town. Beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean, this is a delightful place to visit.Posted on Tripadvisor Kelly SVerified Chilled night away from our hectic lives! BEAUTIFUL! We had a lovely little stay here such a stunning guest house. The decor is something else found myself walking around fascinated by all the historical items. Sue is very kind and helpful and made us feel at home. I love the attention to detail here, water in fridge,biscuits,even umbrellas at front door. The rooms are beautiful and quirky and such comfy beds. Breakfast was very tasty all home cooked to perfection. Area was lovely and quiet and only 3min walk into Penrith town, Perfect location for walk in lakes. We will certainly be back. This is definitely worth a visit you won’t be disappointed! Thanks again Sue
