    Great little guest house close to centre, shops, bars and restaurants. Lovely welcome from the hosts, clean and comfortable rooms, great breakfast! We were in a top floor twin room in the eaves might be a problem for some with the low roof and stairs, perfectly adequate for our overnight stay. Our friend's room had a private external bathroom, remember to bring a dressing gown or pyjamas 😉 would stay again, quiet despite being on the roadside.

    From start to finish, everything was so well organised, I was fully informed of everything and the few days' stay ran smoothly. There was parking, the place was clean and had everything I needed; the whole place was quaint and such a delight. The hosts put a lot of effort into making sure everything was right including decorating it for Christmas, and organising a couple of little treats. Good location, very quiet and calm, yet handy for Penrith and the M6.

    A great location, clean and tidy with everything you needed for a great stay. The caravan was in a very quiet spot with no nearby road noise. Carol our host was an excellent communicator and couldn't do enough for you.

    Alison is a great host; warm, welcoming and very helpful. The room was warm and clean, the bed was comfortable and it was quiet at night. There were a number of breakfast options, and the food was of a good quality and well cooked. The location is excellent, with a private parking area at the rear of the property. I could walk into the town centre in a few minutes and it was ideally suited to visit Potfest. The accommodation is very good value for the prices, and No 3 will be my first choice on future visits to Penrith.

    Widewath Barn is a lovely spacious cottage with a well equipped kitchen. It is in a very quiet but convenient location. All the places we visited were no more than 20 minutes drive away. Alice and George were great hosts.
