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.

The hostess and host were very enthusiastic. Our adapter was broken, so they lent it to us. On the way back, it was raining, so the hostess drove us to the train. I was really touched and felt very humane.
