I stayed in a single room for one night in March. The room was well furnished and comfortable. There were lots of options in the vegetarian breakfast menu. Breakfast was served in the room. The owners were friendly and attentive. Whenever I return to Penrith, I intend to stay there again.

From the very warm welcome I received I knew I was going to experience a lovely stay. After a long days ride to Penrith to be greeted with a slice of delicious home made cake was a real treat. Paula & Marks purposeful choice of natural toiletries in the bathroom and top quality ingredients for the scrumptious vegetarian breakfast made this a memorable stay that I would very much like to repeat

Mark & Paula are wonderful hosts. They were very welcoming and made me feel at home even though I booked it extremely last minute (6:30pm checking in at 8!).

The place is lovely - cosy and very clean - and the bedroom was very comfortable.

And to make it all even better, the breakfast included was amazing and had great vegan options!

On my journey home I needed to stop over and pulled into Penrith, booked at 2050 and by 2120 I was in a spotlessly clean, very comfortable room with a green tea and delicious home made cookie. Breakfast was excellent too and hosts so very welcoming. As a solo, female traveller I felt very safe and at ease. I Would recommend to any type of traveller.

Room was lovely and clean and hosts very friendly and welcoming. Your breakfast is brought to your room, which is a lovely touch. I stayed in a single room right at the top of the house. If I had one little thing to say, it would be the lack of a mirror in the bedroom to get ready and do my hair, but other than that, no complaints.
There was private parking at the back of the hotel which is a bonus as Penrith can be difficult for that.
