I can just talk & talk about this beautiful hotel. What a place. We only stayed for 2 days in our 15 days trip to UK. Now planning soon to come for a week just to be at PENN so you can understand how beautiful it is. Miss personal touch with whom you can talk but rest everything in room to location is mind blowing. For us its the best hotel in Lake district. Do not hesitate, book right away.

My room was so cozy and perfect for me. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the entire room was clean, and it had everything I could have needed and more for a comfortable and luxurious stay. The breakfast was delightful and from what I remember, was sourced locally, which I appreciated. The staff were all so kind and accommodating, and Pam made sure to say hello each morning at breakfast. She made sure that guests were alright, that they slept comfortably, and asked if we needed anything at all. I loved my experience here, and would absolutely stay again.

Good location, Windermere village is just up the road, Bowness is about a mile down the road. Pub just over the road, friendly locals and reasonable food prices. Bed was super comfy, slept like a log. Great hosts, full of local knowledge, very helpful.
