    great food

    Couple unique hideaway

    The food was a surprise, vegan-friendly menu was actually good! The vegan mushroom burger was fresh, that flour bun? Terrific! And those Chucky chips, crispy and fluffy inside, best I've had in a while.

    It wasn’t exactly budget-friendly, but for the experience, it was still tolerable.

    cozy vibes

    Couple looking for comfort

    The bar has good choice of local gin and ales, superb to sip in front of a fire, cozy vibes. , We shared a salted caramel brownie, it was one of the best things I've ever tasted.

    It wasn't exactly budget-friendly, but still tolerable for a night.

    cozy room
    great breakfast
    lack of snack options

    Perfect pit stop for pups!

    We had a lovely one-night stay and the staff were super friendly. The room was spacious and really nicely done up. We enjoyed drinks at the bar, but it would’ve been nice to grab a quick snack too. The breakfast was cooked to order and just delicious, perfect start to the day. Would definitely recommend for pet owners!

    nothing too fancy
    small room

    The Standard Double Room was cozy and had lovely interiors, which made for a comfortable stay. It was great for a quick stopover to Scotland. We really appreciated that they were relaxed about dogs, which was a bonus. it was good but nothing too fancy.

    clean room

    Just a top selection for a budget stay in Penrith with all in all brilliant value for money. The rooms were clean and comfortable, providing a snug escape after a long day exploring. Be sure to make dinner reservations well in advance as it gets busy on weekends.

    The Standard Double Room had cozy interiors, making it a snug escape. The relaxed policy on dogs added a nice touch for pet owners, which is a win in my book.

    We booked our stay and later found out that getting a table for dinner was nearly impossible without a month’s notice on weekends. that left us scrambling for food. Plus, there were no bar snacks available, which is a bit of a letdown if you’re hoping for a casual bite after a long day.
