Customer Reviews
Fantastic overnight stop in Penrith. Vickie was the perfect host. Well situated in the centre of Penrith yet easy access to A66 for exploring the area. Lovely clean room (Room 1) and a very smart modern bathroom, with the drawer stocked with items in case you forgot to pack them! Parking right outside the property. Superb breakfast too.
We had a lovely one night stay at Abbey House. The rooms were charming and warm, with many thoughtful touches. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean. We had a delicious full breakfast before we headed off, and a lovely chat with Vicky our host. We were so pleased with our stay - hopefully we can come back again one day :)
In September, we took a guided hiking tour of several peaks in the Lake District. The guide picked us up in Penrith at the start & dropped us off again 6 days later. Remembering a very pleasant 1-night stay we had at Abbey House B&B in May 2023 on another trip, we were very happy that rooms were available for both ends of this trip. The owner offers a lovely spread for breakfast & fills the rooms with snacks & such during the day. She knows the village intimately & makes spot-on suggestions for our queries: tea room, bookstores, gear & equipment vendors, restaurants for dinner, grocery stores for pre-packaged take-out food (picnics!) & sundries we forgot (toothpaste!). In all, we spent 3 restful nights. We look forward to returning in the future, perhaps for a week's stay taking day-trip hikes.
