The Pennington Hotel

Great food. Friendly. Relaxing.

The accessible room was good, bathroom well designed and accessible. Ventilation could be better. Breakfast was good, plenty of choice. Every staff member we met was very professional and friendly. Location was really good. It helped the the weather was terrific. Perfectly placed for the Ravenglass - Eskdale Railway.

Nothing that I can think of.

The staff were very friendly.

Unfortunately, I was really disappointed with my stay. The smell throughout the room was incredibly pungent and overpowering. It felt like it was being used to cover something up, and it became quite nauseating after a while. There were also several maintenance and cleanliness issues. The bath plug was broken, the windows were dirty with cobwebs around them, and the window sills were cracked and damaged. The carpet was stained, which made the room feel unclean overall. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, and the pillow was unbelievably thin. M ore like the width of a TV remote than an actual pillow. To make matters worse, the decorative throw pillows on top were sagging and visibly dirty. I also don’t understand why throw pillows are still used in hotels given how unhygienic they can be. The bed was so uncomfortable that my back and neck were hurting for the next few days afterwards. Overall, the room felt very tired, poorly maintained, and far below expectations.

A lovely hotel with a relaxing atmosphere. Our room was clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast with a good choice of options. All of the staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout our 2 day stay. The location was ideal for our planned trip on the Ravenglass Steam Railway which was only a 5-10 minute walk away. Also a good location for visiting the Western Lakes. A peaceful, quiet location that was ideal for our stay.

Dinner menu was good but adding a jacket/boiled potato option would give another choice. Overall though the food and options were good.

Hotel ligt vlakbij treinstation maar je hebt er geen last van. Kamer groot genoeg, badkamer ideaal. Bedden zijn comfortabel. We hadden het full Cumbria ontbijt. Toffe serveerster, snelle service. Er is een kleine stoomtrein vlakbij met museum en ook een heel toffe pub The Ratty Arms.

Staff were lovely, room was really clean, hotel was warm, breakfast great!

Could have done with a USB socket or two.

Plenty of space in bedroom
