How comfortable I was made to feel by both the hosts, and by the quality and coziness of everything inside.

Karen and Ali provide way more than your average B&B accommodation and hospitality. From the moment I arrived, I felt like their beautiful home was also my home. That welcome continued until I left two days later. The breakfast was exceptional and the choices on offer were amazing, right down to their home-made jam, marmalade and sweet treats on the welcome tray in the room and Karen's daily energy slice when heading out the door. Karen and Ali were very helpful when it came to transport options to nearby towns and places to visit. Penrith is a great location to base yourself when visiting the Lake District, not as busy (or expensive) as Keswick and Windermere, but both (and others) are only a bus, train, or ferry ride away (or a combination of all three) and easily done in a day. Thanks again Karen and Ali. If I could give you a Diamond star, I would!

The hosts really make an effort to make travellers feel welcomed and at home. Everything spotless clean, great amenities, lovely breakfast with amazing choice. Location perfect: very close to bus stop, and one minute on foot to the center. Would love to come again. Penrith itself is of course a delight (plenty of maps and other materials at the b&b, very handy!)

Hard to find fault at all, only thing would be that the shower was a bit weak.

Super comfy beds and clean tidy spacious room. Lovely home made snacks jams and the best tiffin. Breakfast porridge fruit and the full English (or Scot’s?) was cooked to perfection. Local produce well prepared. A characterful stay with Alison and Karen and the friendly dog making guests feel welcome. A home away from home for a solo business trip.

Absolutely gorgeous guest house in perfect location walking distance from all on offer in Penrith. The owners were so fabulously warm and welcoming with amazing communication in the lead up to our stay. They really had thought of everything and lots of lovely extra touches. Rooms beautifully decorated, very comfortable and with more than required to make for a relaxing stay. Breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice.
