“I particularly appreciate its character, especially being opposite Penrith Castle. It's the kind of place where you feel welcome, even with a dog in tow, and the food holds its own. I think it makes a fine base for exploring the county.”

Average stay with some drawbacks.

noise levelsoundproofing issue

The noise level was a real issue. I could clearly hear conversations and music from the pub below until late. It made it difficult to relax and get to sleep. The provided earplugs did little to solve the problem. It was not an enjoyable experience. The room also lacked proper soundproofing. It needs to be addressed.

The room was pretty basic. There was no window except a small frosted one above seven feet high. It faced a roof, stopping any fresh air.

The staff extended a warm welcome upon my arrival. My room was large, a good surprise. I appreciated the free car parking. It was most convenient.

I found a stale smell throughout the hotel. The outside door key did not work, a considerable inconvenience late at night. I also couldn't work the TV. Instructions would have been useful.
