Bank House B and B, hotel in Penrith

Set in Penrith, 9.2 km from Askham Hall and 32 km from Derwentwater, Bank House B and B offers accommodation with free WiFi in a historic building.

Lovely breakfast spot on. Lovely hosts couldn’t have done enough for me. They also did their best when I opened an old wound (completely my fault) while showering. Also provide warm water for my travelling flask. Think the b and b prides itself on the old style hospitality.. certainly to my taste.

Brooklands Guest House, hotel in Penrith

Offering garden views, Brooklands Guest House is an accommodation set in Penrith, 8.6 km from Askham Hall and 31 km from Derwentwater.

It was lovely going into the property with all its character, the lovely wide stairs, the ever so friendly dogs and Sue, who made the stay so enjoyable. She is as characterful as her lovely house. The bed was very comfy and we had a great nights sleep. Sues recommendations as to where to eat were spot on and we couldn’t fault this place. We normally stay in a hotel chain if we are travelling up north, but this stay has made us realise that we love a bit of character and will be hopefully staying in places with like this in the future.

    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.
