We loved the authentic English countryside. We were lucky enough to secure the last room. The location was off thd beaten track but it wax busy... the room was quaint in thisc17th century mill. There was an outside area with picnic table a carport above a creek. The low doors and ceilings were as expected... we had a few pints & dinner which were all very good....the breakfast was plentiful & made to order. there were only 8 rooms, comfy bed & pillow. Serviceable ensuite. This property is a great find, exactly what we hoped for in our holiday travels. This is not a property for anyone with mobility issues.

Offering an Italian restaurant, Villa Bianca B&B is located in the centre of Penrith. It offers bed and breakfast accommodation and free WiFi.

The inn is 6.8 km from Whinfell Forest. Newcastle International Airport is 79 km away.

Massively positive place. The owners are ridiculously helpful at all times. There is a restaurant downstairs which is lovely - they do massive pizzas - see my photo. Rooms are functional and very good value for money. Very comfy beds, electric shower and tea and coffee provided in the room. Parking is available 4 min walk away, quite literally not really even that. It is £5 for 10 hours so pretty much £5 a day you can stop outside and upload the car with ease. Parking is in bluebell car park. Breakfast is available - great quality. We had offers of cereal, fruit, yoghurt and then cooked breakfast as well amazing value. It is served 0800-0900. Coffee was also greattttt quality - and I like my coffee!

    The staff were very friendly and helpful and had good suggestions for dinner. We also liked the location which was only a few minutes from the town centre. Breakfast was lovely as well and perfectly cooked poached eggs made my visit complete.

    The room was on the small side but the bed was big and very comfortable. Tea, coffee and biscuits in the room. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We were very happy with dinner. It was well cooked 'proper' food, lots of fresh veg and my husband said the beef pie was the best he has had in a restaurant. A nice change from the usual cheap chips and factory produced re-heated from frozen rubbish one often gets served with these days. Breakfast was also excellent.

    We stayed in The Ashberry Guest House in Penrith on our way from Essex to the Isle of Arran, it was ideal to break up our journey. Phil was an excellent host, he was very friendly and helpful, giving us advice on where to go for dinner. I am a coeliac and Phil and his wife had very thoughtfully put gluten free biscuits in our room, they had also got gluten free muesli, bread and sausages for my breakfast. It is so appreciated when people make the extra effort. We would definitely stay here again 😊

    We stayed at The Ginney guest house for a night. The owners very welcoming and hospitable. The breakfast was beautifully cooked and well presented. The room was comfortable and the guest house close to the lakes and a town with good pubs and restaurants.

    Historic inn with great character, good beer and food. The room was clean if a little on the small side. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was very good. The only addition we would have liked would be fruit.
