Lovely breakfast spot on. Lovely hosts couldn’t have done enough for me. They also did their best when I opened an old wound (completely my fault) while showering. Also provide warm water for my travelling flask. Think the b and b prides itself on the old style hospitality.. certainly to my taste.

I felt the room was just a little musty… was used as single room, so maybe needed aired. Did not detract from comfortable stay and would stay there again. Maybe needs a bit of updating decor wise but pleasant enough . Minor gripe wall mounted telly too small at the distance from the bed.

Breakfast was incredible. They use a lot of local produce and ingredients and were more than happy to accommodate an earlier breakfast for my last day. The inside decor is very cottage like and cozy. Room and facilities were excellent. Although located towards the top of Penrith the location was in a good spot to explore the local beacon and forest area and it wasn't too far away from the main town center for shops, food and the bus station to get to the lakes. The family that run it are lovely and I had some great conversations with them and got advice about local hiking routes. Will stay here again if i'm in Penrith.

No issues, although the climb back up to hill to get to the house may be difficult for some.

This property is located a short walk (downhill) to the town centre (uphill on the return!) and a short drive from the M6 for those breaking a journey, as I was. The bedroom was well-appointed and comfortable with an attached shower room, complete with locally-made toiletries. Hosts were friendly and helpful and provided a superb freshly-cooked breakfast, including a selection of good quality local conserves, served in a lovely dining room with views over the garden and to the hills beyond. Very pleasant stay and I would use again if passing or if I wanted to be based in Penrith.

No issues with this property or the hosts.

I was welcomed like an old friend and shown to my beautifully furnished room. I love old furniture and my room was absolutely lovely. I stay away from home quite a lot with work and this was probably the most comfortable bed I've stayed in anywhere. Not only was the bed comfortable but the quilt was perfect and the sheets were crisp and lovely. Breakfast on the lovely old dining room was superb. Scrambled egg and salmon perfectly cooked, sitting atop lovely local bread, nicely toasted. I couldn't have asked for a better stay. I'll be back with my wife.

Very welcoming and professional staff. Good location near the centre of Penrith without being right in the centre. Beautiful large garden (needs a bit of tidying though! ;-) ) Very comfortable bed. Room very well equipped, even with a hair dryer and a clean bath gown!

The old style single-glazed guillotine windows are a bit drafty, even for a summer night. I would suggest to try improving them, if it is not too much trouble and does not denature the room/house style. Insulating better the windows can probably save energy and money over winter time. This could be a win-win decision.

I had such a lovely stay. Felt like a home from home. The hosts were lovely and helped me with all my needs they even helped me reverse park up the hill, which I am so grateful for. Thank you for the most perfect stay and an amazing breakfast. The town is only 15 min walk away. Which isn’t too bad. The b&b is located on a hill but I didn’t mind it. Lovely cosy place to stay with lovely hosts.

The only thing was the hill as not good at parking uphill but the host very kindly helped me with that which was much appreciated. Thank you.

Lovely house in a quiet area of the town. Roadside parking, walking distance into town although some people might find the return walk up the hill a bit challenging. Lovely welcome with a home-made snack and fresh milk for the tea/coffee tray in the bedroom. Very comfortable bed and good, spacious shower in bathroom. Good choice of items for breakfast - with delicious homemade granola and bread on offer. The breakfast room looks out over a lovely garden. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. I would certainly recommend this B&B.

The location was excellent, just a short 5 minute walk into Penrith town centre. If you're after scenary and landscapes, there are some great walks on offer in the lake district (which is on your doorstep) and the Yorkshire Dales are nearby, too. The room was gorgeous, ver comfortable and the breakfast options were thorough and delicious!

The water pressure in the bathroom was a bit weak. No complaints about anything else, though.

The bedroom is spacious, so are the comfortable bed and the shower. It is very well equipped. For example, a hair dryer and even a dressing gown are provided! The owners are welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was enjoyable although I cannot judge the full english breakfast. Delicious home made bread!

Almost nothing. The bathroom is a bit small in comparison to the size of the bedroom and the shower. Cars must be left in the street. There is little risk of being fined at that location, but the street is very sloping. Do not forget to tighten well your handbreak!

Sarah and Deano made Bank House B&B feel like a home from home. From the moment I arrived, I felt looked after: Sarah even came out to the street with me to check my car wasn’t in the permit-only area. The service, food and variety of choice at breakfast was amazing. It was really lovely to see the amount of effort and thought that had gone into choosing the breakfast ingredients. As a solo traveller, I really appreciated having the company of Sarah and Deano at breakfast, it was interesting to hear their insights about the local area and I enjoyed their genuine interest in my plans for the day. I stayed in Room 0 and it had such a large bathtub you could practically swim in it. The view of the garden was beautiful, and it was lovely to be able to pop out into the garden at sunrise or just before sunset. In the breakfast room, they have a mini fridge with fresh milk in milk jugs for each guest that you can take back up to your room and use to make tea, coffee or hot chocolate. But you can also use the fridge to store any items of food you’ve brought with you.

The only slight issue I had was that some allergies were triggered – but I am very sensitive to allergens. It normally happens when I stay somewhere that used to allow smoking and there are pets there. However, I didn’t see any pets when I was there and no smoking was allowed in the rooms, so I’m not sure what could have triggered some airway irritation.
