It was a disappointing stay. Room is cramped with a big toilet space which was nice. The glass provided still had food stuck which was disgusting. The whole space in and around the property reeks of stale oil and something rotten. I wasn’t informed that I had to book a table for dinner. When I went down for dinner, I was advised to order a takeaway from another place and eat in the room or eat at another restaurant. This was a big let down. The property was also very noisy at night and heard few other guests complaining. The breakfast was nothing to write about. Unless I am desperate, not a property I would go back to.

Pleasant stay

I only stayed at Foundry 34 for one night but it was just what I needed for my trip.
It is located near the main bus station in Penrith.

Parking was off site and because I arrived after 5pm, only had to pay for 2 hours parking to cover me from 5-6pm & 8-9am the following day at a cost of £2!

I booked a single room which was cosy but comfortable; could have done with being a bit warmer but I managed.
There was a note on the air con/heater unit saying there will be a penalty for anyone who messes with the control panel, so I didn’t dare touch it.
The bathroom was clean and shower gel provided.

The room itself was up a couple of flights of stairs and at the front of the building. Secondary double glazing has been fitted to reduce noise from the street; I wasn’t disturbed at all.

There are a few places to eat nearby but I chose to reserve a table in their restaurant. This was a good decision as the food was excellent, so much so, I overindulged and went to bed with a very full stomach. It was still full by morning so I only had room for a sausage sandwich (rather than the full English). Even the humble sarnie was amazing, with a Cumberland ring sausage encased in a lovely soft bun.

I’d stay there again if I need to and would definitely go there for food. I’ve recommended it to friends who live in Penrith but hadn’t heard of Foundry 34.

Good breakfast but not a great experience

We spent a night here as part of a longer break. The room was ok, however very loud noise in the bathroom which sounded like some sort of extractor from the chip shop downstairs. The noise went on until about 9pm. The room was not warm even after turning the radiator up. Also we were advised we can use the rear door to exit the hotel and when we did the smell at the door was repulsive. No idea what it was but not good. On a plus note the cooked breakfast was amazing.

Details on hotels.com are incorrect on 2 counts.
1 says accessible it’s not. I have a disability but all rooms were on the first floor and no lift.
2 says on site parking is available it isn’t it is situated on the roadside. (I have a blue badge so this was difficult!)

Very good location close to the buses. Excellent breakfast. Room had everything needed for an overnight stay.

Coffee at breakfast wasn't good at all, unfortunately. The layout of the bathroom (in room 4) wasn't very convenient. The lights on the bathroom mirror were a nice touch but they weren't helping with makeup application as the lights were on top and bottom casting shadows on face. Lights on left and right would work better :).
