Guest Reviews

Sevilla (9/5): -
Kathleen (10/5): Quiet in town location with gracious hosts - Nicely renovated en suite, spacious, comfortable, quiet.
Angiross (8/5): Perfect for our short stay - The owner who greeted us was friendly, chatty, and professional. The place was welcoming, clean, perfect for our short stay. The bathroom was spotless and shower was very good. The bed was very comfortable. Tea/ coffee making facilities with chocolate bars and little chocolate brownies were a nice touch. Plenty of parking outside. There wasn't anything I didn't like.
Dominic (10/5): Very good - It’s was very clean and tidy nice people very friendly Stairs only because I have bad knees
jonathan (10/5): - It's not often you get a place that sets out to do something and nails it. The breakfast was brilliant too, nothing was skimped on. As someone who manages an Airbnb, I could see all the hardwork and thoughtfulness everywhere I looked, bathroom, bedroom and dinning. Brilliant all round.
Riyaludin (9/5): - Very nice couple who are friendly and approachable. Good chat and they gave good recommendations for activities. They accommodated my early arrival by allowing bag drop off (made life easier).
Gayle (10/5): -
Eileen (10/5): Beautiful room - Very clean, large room. Excellent breakfast. Only the hill up to the rail station! Very convenient for buses and town centre.
Tony (10/5): Friendly, accommodating hosts and quiet, comfortable rooms. - Very friendly and accommodating hosts, well appointed and clean room with excellent shower. LIttle touches that make a difference - small chocolate brownie and chocolate biscuit etc Quiet location yet just a couple of minutes walk into town Excellent breakfast The only downside to this, and all the other guest houses in the road (which is a significant proportion of those in Penrith) is the challenge of finding a parking space. Even then, provided you are prepared to get up early the one at the town hall (virtually opposite) can be used overnight. Parking is an issue in Penrith - and many other older towns too I guess.
B471. (8/5): Very good experience - Host was very lovely, helpful and accommodating. The facilities were modern and clean Room was neat and arranged nicely. Good location - 5-7 mins walk from bus station and about 10 mins walk from train station Breakfast was excellent - wide variety and good portion size

Rokas (10/5): Cheap at twice the price for the quality, service and location. - Literally nothing to fault here. The hosts were excellent, the food was delicious, the place tidy and clean, well located and all at an extremely good value for money. The bed was a bit more springy than my absolute preference, but everyone likes different things in their mattress. I'm being nitpicky anyway - it was perfectly comfortable and I slept very well.

Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely guesthouse. Very fair price. Pretty good location.
Leggatt (10/5): - You can tell that the room has been thoroughly cleaned. It's quite spacious and has enough facility to help organise your things. The bedding is so comfortable and it is good to note that the bathroom is a highlight too. We love that it's in the nice side of town where you can enjoy some peace and quiet and yet be in the middle of the hustle and bustle in a minute. Whether you're up for adventurous days or a stroll around the town, Albany House can surely offer a place where you will feel at home at the end of the day.

Jw60 (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. Exceptional! Archie & Susan were excellent hosts. A very warm welcome, and early check in. The venue was in excellent condition, decor, furniture, fixtures and fittings, all perfect! A four night stay, breakfast available. (I went out early every morning, wandering and exploring) but the breakfast looked & smelled delicious! I had a single room, private access to a separate toilet and shower room, both in excellent condition, from the paintwork to soft furnishings, teas, coffee, etc, just perfect! Everything replenished daily, lovely fresh towels, and extra teas etc. Archie and Susan made me feel welcome, and took time to listen, and chat, I felt so relaxed, a perfect retreat to escape, slept peacefully, in a perfect double bed! A short walk to all shops, cafes, pubs/restaurants and supermarkets: Morrisons, Booths, M&S foods etc. Penrith has everything you need. Bus station, a short walk 5 mins. Train station, about 10 mins. I can't thank you both enough. A truly wonderful experience. I highly recommend it, if you're looking for a quiet retreat, great quality and service at a very reasonable price. Thank you Archie & Susan.
