Guest Reviews

• Felix (10/5): - This is an exceptional find near the centre of Penrith. A spacious and comfortable guest house, great value, a short walk from the centre of town, with private parking, excellent service and a variety of delicious breakfast choices. Mark and Paula are lovely people and excellent hosts, kind and considerate, and very attentive to the needs of guests. Many thanks to them for a top quality B&B experience.
• David (8/5): - Good value ensuite room with a lovely welcome by the helpful owners. Breakfast menu is quite limited and served promptly in your room. Note there is no dining or sitting room.
• Cindy (10/5): - A great location and a very comfortable property with proprietors that were amazingly accommodating. Fingers crossed you get some warm cookies upon arrival and the breakfast is spot on even if you are not a vegetarian.

• Sara (10/5): - I enjoyed my stay at Norcroft Guest House. The staff members are kind. I was able to check-in early and was so grateful for that. I was offered a slice of lemon cake on arrival (delicious!) and offered fruit to take on my last morning when I wasn't going to be there for breakfast. The breakfast was tasty and delivered to my room at the time I requested. I would definitely stay here again if ever in Penrith in the future. Thank you! My only suggestion would be an upgrade to the mattress and pillows.

I stayed in.room.8 a single small but more than adequate, everything was provided and the room and bathroom.were spotlessly clean.

• Pauline (8/5): Visiting Family - Room was lovely and clean and hosts very friendly and welcoming. Your breakfast is brought to your room, which is a lovely touch. I stayed in a single room right at the top of the house. If I had one little thing to say, it would be the lack of a mirror in the bedroom to get ready and do my hair, but other than that, no complaints. There was private parking at the back of the hotel which is a bonus as Penrith can be difficult for that.
• Sandra (8/5): - Really nice and helpful would definitely stay again

Warm welcome from the hosts Mark & Paula who even gave me a home baked cookie on arrival which was a nice touch. I stayed in a basic single room which was perfect. Pre-ordered breakfast for a set time which was delivered to my room on time and was delicious. Will definitely stay here again when I return to the Lake District.
• Julia (10/5): Fab place to stay well worth the money - Lovely little hotel, host's really friendly and helpful, lovely breakfast brought to room at time you ask, room clean and comfortable, could do with mirror in room for when you use hairdryer, will definitely be back.

• Andrew (10/5): - A lovely property and lovely people. Very comfortable bed. Everywhere was very clean. There was perhaps some need for improvements in some areas but only standard wear and tear. Nothing to spoil the stay. Far enough out of town to be away from any noise but close enough to access on foot. A good base for Ullswater and other lake district locations. Overall I would definitely recommend this place for comfort and convenience oh and a cracking breakfast 😊
