I can just talk & talk about this beautiful hotel. What a place. We only stayed for 2 days in our 15 days trip to UK. Now planning soon to come for a week just to be at PENN so you can understand how beautiful it is. Miss personal touch with whom you can talk but rest everything in room to location is mind blowing. For us its the best hotel in Lake district. Do not hesitate, book right away.

Loved our stay here. Bed was very comfortable, lots of space in the room and we appreciated the kettle/tea/coffee/biscuits in the room. Breakfast was delicious and the hosts were lovely. It was really nice to have a home cooked breakfast. Location was great being only a 10min walk from the train station where we could catch buses to the other towns. Couldn't have asked for any better really, and for a good price! Would definitely stay here again.

Good location, Windermere village is just up the road, Bowness is about a mile down the road. Pub just over the road, friendly locals and reasonable food prices. Bed was super comfy, slept like a log. Great hosts, full of local knowledge, very helpful.
