Lovely place to stay. We have just completed our weekend away here and would come here again. As it is 'adults only' it is quiet and peaceful. There are very comprehensive room guides which provide you with lots of information to set you up for a stay in the lakes, this information includes information on nearby shops and amenities, recommended places to visit, places to eat and so much more. They also have dedicated folders for walks on the communal bookcase. The guides are some of the most comprehensive and informative I have seen in any hotel or b&b and helped us to plan our stay. The communal bookcase is excellent, along with a selection of books there are also leaflets about nearby attractions, homemade informative binders of information for guests to borrow and browse so they can really plan their stay and a selection on dvds to borrow when you just want to snuggle up. The rooms are very clean and comfortable with lots of storage to unpack your clothes. There was a dressing table in our room with a mirror which was a nice touch as many hotels just provide one in the bathroom or its a glorified shelf, having an actual table was nice. Breakfast was outstanding, lots of choice. Everything was fresh. Lots of homemade things to choose from too. The banana bread is delicious. Their homemade marmalade is delicious and so is the jam. Service is fantastic. Caroline is friendly, cheerful and very knowledgeable. An absolutely lovely place to stay for a relaxed holiday in the...
Read moreI don’t know where to begin, everything was just brilliant. We had the loveliest dog friendly stay at The Penn to bring in the New Year and we couldn’t have loved it more. What a fantastic wee place this is, the owners have taken great attention to detail with some lovely goodies on arrival for both us and the pup. A dog bed and water bowl was even provided for furry friends. The room was extremely clean, comfortable and cosy with ample space for spending some much needed down time in The Lake District. Location was fab, walking distance to all amenities in Windermere and Bowness and a short bus/car ride to the further towns. We never struggled to get parked, there is a set number of spaces for The Penn guests to use which is brilliant in a place where parking can be busy. |A coffee machine, kettle and fridge were great features meaning we could enjoy a cuppa and some cold drinks throughout our stay and the smart TV allowed us to enjoy some movies while relaxing at the end of a busy day. |Staff extremely helpful with questions before arrival and responded to us swiftly when needed - it’s so lovely to know that they take pleasure in their little business. |We honestly could not recommend The Penn highly enough, it felt as thought we were staying in a wee apartment and not just a room with en-suite bathroom. It definitely had ample room for 2 people and a pup. |If you are considering staying here, I would say go for it. It is simply amazing. We will be returning. |Thank...
