    There was nothing to dislike. Perhaps the external fire escape as an entrance wouldn't have been nice in the rain.

    Very comfortable feeling like home from home. Warm with nice carpets. Well equipped, clean and modern. Even had a garage to park in.

    Not much to say about any downside. Just a little comment for interested people with mobility issues: there seems to be a flat on the ground floor and another on the first floor. Verify which one you are getting if this is an issue for you. We stayed in the one above and it was perfect for us.

    For us, the place was impeccable. It was well equipped, very comfortable and decorated tastefully. The host was responsive and friendly, as well as the gardener who shared tips and suggestions for places to visit. We had plenty of bath and kitchen towels, which was nice. The location was excellent. Just a short walk from the main street of Penrith and near the shops we wanted to visit. The flat was the perfect combination of old world charm and modern convenience. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I am giving it my personal max of 9 (just because I think as a matter of principle that things can always be improved).

    The styling wasn't modern but that's nothing to complain about.

    The place was very well equipped, warm, light and well located. I walked from the train station, no problem. It had so much more than I needed and instructions for everything.

    Only to point out to less mobile people that the metal staircase up to top of apartment carrying luggage to the top can be a bit tricky.

    The location of the property to the town was excellent the shops, bars, restaurants all within short walking distance. Parking in a garage was a bonus. The bedroom furniture was very tasteful & classy. Host was very accomodating for an early arrival.

    This is a great apartment for a stay, it is really clean, comfortable and well equipped. The apartment has a great location and from here we're easily visited Pooley Bridge and Keswick. The host left us pantry goods and we found the information and recommendations provided really helpful. I would stay again.

    The stairs. Don’t remember being warned about them when booking but there should definitely be a clear message that the apartment is two storeys up and accessed by an open external metal stairway.

    Close to town centre, well equipped, comfortable.

    Although there was parking, it was quite a tricky space to negotiate into and out of. It was still very convenient though.

    Despite being cold when we arrived it warmed up quickly and stayed warm. The apartment had everything we needed and the bed was really comfy.

    What's not to like? It's 2-3 minutes from town centre, and en route for the Drovers Festival.

    Quirky, but lovely old building kitted out really nicely. .

    All good.

    This is a lovely apartment at the top of an old rectory. It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, warm and with everything we needed for a week's stay, with the added bonus of glorious views over the Autumn hills surrounding Penrith. The host, Darren, was superhelpful and welcoming, (we had a van and kayaks that wouldn't fit in the garage space allocated to the flat, and he made it seem like no problem at all). The apartment is in a great location for walking into town but still quiet and peaceful. It's at the top of the house, and there are 34 stairs up an outside fire escape to navigate, so you need to be able to manage stairs, but they are well-lit and not at all slippy even in the wet weather we experienced!

    Significant staircase to get to the flat and difficulty in parking our 'upgraded' hire car in the garage. However, we were able to find parking nearby, in the road opposite, although it was up a steep hill outside the controlled parking zone. Aware that we could have got a disc but then would have had less time to explore.

    Welcome pack provided. Flat very comfortable, 'home away from home' although we tended to spend a lot of time out enjoying the nice weather and only really used the facilities in the morning and evening. It was located close to the town centre and all amenities and was a great base to explore the lakes and surrounding areas.

    Nothing - it's hard to see how this apartment could be improved.

    The apartment is situated on a quiet road within easy walking distance of the centre of Penrith. The facilities were superb and we had everything we needed for a two-week stay, including a washing machine. The owner, Darren, had left us some supplies including milk and tea bags which was great because it meant that we could have a cuppa straight away without having to go shopping. We actually met Darren and he was a really friendly and helpful host. The apartment was immaculate and the bed was incredibly comfortable. We highly recommend this apartment if you want to stay in Penrith, with its excellent access to the Lake District.
