Best Penrith Hotels

A very comfortable historic and traditional hotel that ticked all the boxes for our lovely stay in the centre of Penrith. Our room was fine, bed comfy, shower great. Big tick for Elemis shower gel and shampoo dispensers! WiFi worked better in the (large) lounge. There is a car park behind the hotel but short-stay spaces in front of the hotel for unloading. They give you a disk for the one-hour parking and a map to navigate the one way system to end up in the car park right behind. Food was fine and there are also some nice restaurants locally- we liked Gianni and Four and Twenty.

Love the location, the views from the hotel & dining room. The restaurant was good, young inexperienced staff that very very nice but a little clumsy. Checkin receptionist was very curt, but check out person the following day was lovely. All in all, loved staying here again. Beautifully peaceful

Stayed here several times, even a couple of times when they had only just re opened following each of the Covid lockdowns and always enjoyed, had a fab welcome and the rooms are clean. Not saying its perfect for everyone as some of you will not be a fan of the gold and red decor in the rooms , reception and corridors. But its not shabby its just old fashioned. The bathrooms are moden and the bar and restaurant have had a face lift with a not ultra moden colour scheme of cream and blue but it suits the building style. Dont expect spa, gym or pool and dont expect room service or cocktails. But you will always get a warm and friendly welcome and service. The setting is off the beat and track , but worth finding this gem, at the side of the woods , with stream running over waterfall and rock oh and keep your eyes peeled for red squirrels. Food is good at breakfast though no veggie sausages which some did complain about, food is good value in the evening though a limited choice of 4 starters 4 mains and 4 puds including a veggie option. Yorkshire portions for the main and loads of veg. Bar prices higher than pub prices but not that bad for a hotel.

Just had a delicious Sunday lunch here. Staff brilliant,food exceptional. Roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, roast and mashed potatoes. Not just the usual peas and carrots but a medley of roast veg ,red cabbage and mangetout and cabbage in a creamy sauce. Plenty of gravy too. If booking request that you are not at the table opposite the door. Each time door oppend blast of cold air hits you and your food. A bit noisy but otherwise a good lunch out. Great value for money.

We really enjoyed our stay at Abbey House. The B&B was lovely and clean and our room was very quiet. The owner also gave us some great recommendations for places to visit for dinner. Our full English Breakfast (included in the price) was excellent too. I highly recommend this B&B to anyone who is thinking of staying in Penrith and it's an excellent choice for anyone wishing to travel to the nearby Lake District.

At Norcroft Mark and Paula offer welcoming and comfortable accommodation with a seamless efficiency. Some of furnishings and decor may be a little dated, but they have only been there for 3 months. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and you won't get better value. Mark went above and beyond to accommodate my unpredictable work schedule during my time in Cumbria. On the first night when I arrived late, Paula's homemade muffin was a lovely touch and exactly what I didn't realise I needed. On the day I checked out, I ended up working later than expected, so I messaged Mark to see if they could accommodate me for an extra night. They were full, but late at night and with less than an hour's notice, they prepared a room they don't normally let out. Proper customer service at it's finest! Breakfast is pre-ordered, vegetarian only and served in your room. I did miss my bacon initially, but the breakfast was so delicious that I soon forgot about bacon. Compared to the usual awkward shuffle around a buffet that has been sitting out for ages, I really enjoyed how relaxed and civilised it was to have a freshly cooked breakfast at the table in the comfort of my room. I would not hesitate to recommend Norcroft for a personal, thoughtful and great value place to stay in the Penrith area. Thanks again Mark and Paula for putting up with me with such care!
