Lake District romantic get away in 1 acre gardens off M6, hotel in Penrith

Featuring garden views, Lake District romantic get away in 1 acre gardens off M6 provides accommodation with a garden and a balcony, around 26 km from Askham Hall.

Fantastic facilities, the wifi was good with access to Netflix and prime tv. Loved the bathroom mirrors with Bluetooth and the spa bath, there were also fans available. Beds very comfortable. Although the property is right next to a road you cannot hear any road noise.

    Karen and Alison were wonderful. Nice sized room, comfy bed, very clean and ideal location for jumping off the m6 or for Penrith centre (2min walk to the middle of the centre). Cooked to order breakfast with excellent local produce (and one of the few places that actually knows how to cook black pudding rather than cremate it!). Excellent value for money and lots of lovely little touches - especially the homemade items!

    We were greeted and welcomed by our host, Ruth. The kitchen was very well equipped. The place was spotlessly clean. A great deal of thought has gone into making someone’s stay perfect. A welcome gift was gratefully received, thank you. Our two dogs were catered for, bowls and dog towels ready for use. They quickly found the welcoming dog treats. I didn’t have to use to dog wash in the utility room, but a great idea. The hot tub was ready for use upon our arrival. A lovely place in a great location, I would thoroughly recommend.

    Location is absolutely great for Penrith town centre - both accessing on foot and driving in/out of town before and after. The beds were spotless and very comfortable, very good night's sleep. Ignoring the old sash window frames (can't be helped I guess), the main room and bathroom were very clean. Yes there was noise downstairs (we stayed on one of Penrith's busiest Saturday nights - Halloween/Droving) but a little after midnight that stops completely and everyone leaves. Honestly we would stay here again.
