We loved everything! This place has a great feel- the decor is beautiful and arty and yet feels like home. Our host was helpful and we had such a lovely chat over a delicious breakfast. Homemade jams and Croissants with fabulous coffee was a great start to our day. We loved staying with Christel and will definitely stay here again!

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.

The room was good. It was exceptionally clean when we arrived. Everything was as it should be. Breakfast was excellent. I can't say enough good about that. They asked what we wanted and then prepared it fresh for us. The hosts were also very gracious. When my wife accidentally knocked the soap dish off the shower wall, we were ready to pay for the damage. They were very gracious and waved away our offer to make it right, saying accidents happen.

    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.
