Hotel terbaik di Eden

4 couples, 4 big anniversaries, 140 years of marriage between us. I contacted Roundthorn as some friends had stayed there and gave it good reviews. I had quite a bit of contact with the hotel before our stay. Without exception everyone I spoke to were very helpful. All the staff during our stay were very efficient and friendly. Breakfast was very good, a good selection of dishes cooked to order and a small buffet section as well. We ate both nights in the restaurant and the food was good. I chose very well, some others maybe felt they could have chosen better but there were no complaints. The hotel very kindly put us in our own dining room on one night so that we could celebrate without worrying about other guests, not that we were particularly crazy! 1 couple stayed in the self catering accommodation and enjoyed that. The rest of us stayed in our hotel. We all had rooms at the front which enjoy fabulous views. Note: only 1 of these bedrooms has a bath so if that's important definitely check. Our bathroom had a lovely big walk in shower and 2 wash basins. The room and bed was very comfortable and we slept well, which isn't always the case when we go away. The hotel is well placed to get into Penrith without being in the town. It's a 20 minute ish journey to Ullswater. All in all it was a brilliant stay and we all enjoyed it. I hope we have the chance to return at some point.

Just had a delicious Sunday lunch here. Staff brilliant,food exceptional. Roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, roast and mashed potatoes. Not just the usual peas and carrots but a medley of roast veg ,red cabbage and mangetout and cabbage in a creamy sauce. Plenty of gravy too. If booking request that you are not at the table opposite the door. Each time door oppend blast of cold air hits you and your food. A bit noisy but otherwise a good lunch out. Great value for money.

A very comfortable historic and traditional hotel that ticked all the boxes for our lovely stay in the centre of Penrith. Our room was fine, bed comfy, shower great. Big tick for Elemis shower gel and shampoo dispensers! WiFi worked better in the (large) lounge. There is a car park behind the hotel but short-stay spaces in front of the hotel for unloading. They give you a disk for the one-hour parking and a map to navigate the one way system to end up in the car park right behind. Food was fine and there are also some nice restaurants locally- we liked Gianni and Four and Twenty.

At Norcroft Mark and Paula offer welcoming and comfortable accommodation with a seamless efficiency. Some of furnishings and decor may be a little dated, but they have only been there for 3 months. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and you won't get better value. Mark went above and beyond to accommodate my unpredictable work schedule during my time in Cumbria. On the first night when I arrived late, Paula's homemade muffin was a lovely touch and exactly what I didn't realise I needed. On the day I checked out, I ended up working later than expected, so I messaged Mark to see if they could accommodate me for an extra night. They were full, but late at night and with less than an hour's notice, they prepared a room they don't normally let out. Proper customer service at it's finest! Breakfast is pre-ordered, vegetarian only and served in your room. I did miss my bacon initially, but the breakfast was so delicious that I soon forgot about bacon. Compared to the usual awkward shuffle around a buffet that has been sitting out for ages, I really enjoyed how relaxed and civilised it was to have a freshly cooked breakfast at the table in the comfort of my room. I would not hesitate to recommend Norcroft for a personal, thoughtful and great value place to stay in the Penrith area. Thanks again Mark and Paula for putting up with me with such care!
