The Roundthorn Country House and luxury self-catering Mews Apartments are set in landscaped gardens, with panoramic views of the Eden Valley and Lakeland Fells.

First class hotel. Friendly helpful staff, beautiful, comfortable room and excellent food. We were driving south from Scotland to Liverpool to join a cruise ship, unfortunately due to bad weather conditions our itinerary was changed and we elected not to sail. I rang the hotel on our way back north and were delighted that they were able to give us the same room. Would definitely stay at Roundthorn again.

This newly built guest house is situated in the market town of Penrith, a 15-minute walk from Penrith Rail Station.

Phil is a most helpful host - great recommendation for dinner @ Foundry 34 in town. Room was comfortable and clean, conveniently located to town center, and my full Scottish breakfast was very good. Would definitely stay here again.

    A lot of history in Penrith, lovely old buildings but it needs tidying up, the local council should have people cleaning it up and getting rid of rubbish. It’s hard to find somewhere to eat after 19.30, the chip shop closed at 19.30 and one of the pubs that offered food also stopped serving food after 19.30. Plenty of take aways but not good when staying in a hotel!! Luckily The George where we stayed offered food upto 21.00.

    It’s an ok town north of the Lake District.

    It’s an ok town north of the Lake District. We have been there several times before but only to rest overnight on a drive to or from the North West of Scotland. Half way to where we live in south east England. It has a castle, a decent array of shops, a couple of nice pubs and The George Hotel in the centre where we have stayed 5 x and should have stayed there also on our last visit but we elected for a change of venue on this trip.

    Although I was just a passing traveller, from what I saw, Penrith has a lot to interest the tourist. The town looked to have some amazing buildings and is much more vibrant than I expected. It is also a great centre to enjoy the northern Lake District and the western Yorkshire Dales. I think a more prolonged stay by me will have to be scheduled.

    Penrith has everything you need if you have a family with additional needs. Supermarkets, petrol stations, coffee shops, restaurants and takeaways. We highly recommend My Kebab for a fabulous takeaway. Attractions are all about an hour away: beaches, lakes etc but the drive to these places is spectacular. We drove through low laying cloud and saw the end of a rainbow!

    The hotel is in a beautiful location, in a quiet, picture postcard village, with views of the Lakeland fells and Ullswater just a short walk away. Aside from the heating issue on the night of our first stay, the rooms were comfortable with excellent facilities. The downstairs bar/restaurant is characterful and serves excellent home cooked meals. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially the manager/owner Richard. We would thoroughly recommend staying at the Brantwood Hotel if you are in the Penrith area.

    2nd trip to Roundthorn hotel. 1st time we stayed in the hotel, this time in one of the 2 bedroom apartments for 3 nights. Loved the standard of the apartment, especially the spacious living area. Free scone with the latte is still a nice touch. Eating dinner next to a log fire surrounded by christmas decorations was delightful. Going to look into staying next christmas/new year as we've been told the parties are great fun. Staff are probably the friendliest of any hotel we've ever stayed in.

    A really lovely family run hotel. The owners are so warm and friendly. Easy to book and they answered all my queries prior to arriving. The room was lovely and warm and the room spotlessly clean. Bed was really comfy and lovely thick, fluffy towels provided. A kettle with plenty of choice of drinks on offer as well as bottled water. Breakfast was superb with lots of choice of hot and cold food. We would definately recommend.

    The Lounge is a boutique small hotel and restaurant and bar in the middle of Penrith. I have stayed plenty of times. I like it because it’s friendly, the rooms are really good value and the included breakfast is awesome and I can park for free at the back. It’s clean, the rooms have all you need. Unless your looking for a luxury stay this is perfect for a couple to explore Penrith or as a stop off.

    Very happy with our brief stay at Rebel's Hide. Ideally located (for our visit) just outside Penrith in a quiet residential area. It surpassed our expectations and we were very happy with our stay. Good communication and instruction from the hosts. The best recommendation I can give is that we would be happy to stay there again. Many thanks 🙂

    Such a unique stay in an absolutely incredibly beautiful place! Our morning walks along their property greeted by friendly sheep were fantastic! Great location to explore the Lake District, and the nearby Lowther Castle. If we ever travel to Northern England again, I would definitely stay again here! Everything we needed provided!

    All the staff were so friendly and helpful. The decor and facilities are excellent. The food in the evening in the restaurant/bar was lovely and good value too. At breakfast we had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. It was so tasty. We also loved the fact that the bath was in the bedroom area and separate to the bathroom

    The property is a good size for two people who need somewhere to stay of a few nights. The rooms are modern, tidy and comfortably warm with a parking space out front. There are numerous places to eat and the property is within easy travel to Keswick and Penrith. Off the beaten track so peaceful, plus local footpaths.

    Really nice middle ground between camping and a hotel. Really modern and unique experience to stay in the pod, lovely outdoor area with lots of nature around you and very quiet. Great location for Ullswater as it’s a short drive away. Kitchen facilities including fridge to bring snacks and drinks.

    The room was ok but we had paid for an upgrade. Radiator in room not working so in the evening it was cold, we reported it. Food was ok as was breakfast. Car Park is unique in that because of one way system you have to go all the way around to park at the hotel.
