    Comfy bed, lovely private bathroom, warm and friendly host and excellent breakfast. Lovely fresh fruit (not tinned!), and I really loved that the baked beans were served in their own separate dish on the side of the full (and perfectly cooked) breakfast. The grounds are lovely and the room was cleaned each day. Great selection of teas and coffee in the room too. Real treat of an experience.

    Great location in Penrith - easy walk to pubs nearby Good that there is a private car park Room was probably most spacious we’ve had (stayed in 2 B&Bs in Penrith already) and was very clean, had lots of storage space, TV, tea and coffee and bathroom was good size too. Breakfast was lovely and Alison changed it to suit me (sorry I’m awkward 🤣) - took out anything I didn’t like as I’m a picky eater. Veggie options and nice scrambled eggs always a plus!

    Check-in was prompt and friendly and our room was spacious and cosy. The breakfast was tasty and the waitress was efficient and friendly. The hotel is only a few minutes from the motorway and in a nice quiet village which was lovely for a relaxing walk before dinner. Tip: The fuel at the filling station just off the roundabout on the way to the village is 25p per litre cheaper than the motorway service stations, and it has a wonderful deli!

    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.
