    Centrally placed hotel and staff very kind and efficient. Close to the town’s amenities and next door to a superb Indian restaurant ! Room was comfortable and well equipped.

    We were pleasantly surprised when we entered the building. It looked quite small and insignificant on the outside entering from the street, but once inside it was like the tardis with lovely interior furnishings and a pleasant surprise. The decor was lovely, the staff were friendly and professional. The room was fine, it was clean and had everything you needed and the bed was comfortable. We ate in the bar in the evening and enjoyed our food and the menu looked good. The breakfast in the morning was really good with a good selection of fruit and cereal. Everything was of a high standard, including the crockery. I ordered the full breakfast and it was one of the best I have had. The hotel exceeded our expectations and we would happily go there again.

    Fire alarm going off at 11.30 p.m. no explanation offered and had to ask staff the next morning. Apparently, the alarm was accidentally triggered by a staff member. These things happen, but this should have been conveyed.

    We were very disappointed with the evening meal. Our table was near the entrance to the toilet so there were people constantly passing us and we were also the door where the smokers went out so it wasn't very pleasant.We had booked the table on arrival in the morning They were extremely busy and we waited nearly an hour for our food. Unfortunately I sent my meal back as it was cold. They were clearly unable to cope.

    Lovely room and an excellent location.

    Well designed with nice colours and quality finishes but probably just now in need of a little 'refreshment' .....(wouldn't say we didn’t like it) ....certainly nothing that would stop us staying there again.

    Great location...good value for money...great full Cumbrian breakfast.....lovely helpful staff that go that extra mile 👏 👍 Plus central town parking.

    We were woken at 6 in the morning by the bin truck and other deliveries as it is on a busy road. Despite this, we had a very comfortable night's sleep.

    What a lovely hotel!! Such friendly staff, lovely spacious room, very clean, very comfortable bed, excellent facilities. Breakfast was absolutely delicious.

    There was no obvious reception. We went straight into a bar with hoards of people and blaring loud music and had to try and hunt for someone to check us in. The shower pressure was very inconsistent at one point no water came out at all. I was stood trying to wash soap off and had to wait for the water to start up again and when it did it was like a fire hose!!! The dial to turn it on and off was very stiff and it took me ages to get it turned off. Probably a plus point to some, but there was a bath in the bedroom which I don't personally like. The parking was hard to find and a bit of a walk along a little ginnel. I wouldn't fancy going along there in the dark.

    The room was very quiet which was amazing considering we were in the middle of Penrith on a Saturday night. The bed was big and comfortable and the room spacious. The breakfast choices were good and generous.
