“The most amazing stay at The Penn - 100% reccomend”

10.0

03 Jan 2025

I don’t know where to begin, everything was just brilliant. We had the loveliest dog friendly stay at The Penn to bring in the New Year and we couldn’t have loved it more. What a fantastic wee place this is, the owners have taken great attention to detail with some lovely goodies on arrival for both us and the pup. A dog bed and water bowl was even provided for furry friends. The room was extremely clean, comfortable and cosy with ample space for spending some much needed down time in The Lake District. Location was fab, walking distance to all amenities in Windermere and Bowness and a short bus/car ride to the further towns. We never struggled to get parked, there is a set number of spaces for The Penn guests to use which is brilliant in a place where parking can be busy. A coffee machine, kettle and fridge were great features meaning we could enjoy a cuppa and some cold drinks throughout our stay and the smart TV allowed us to enjoy some movies while relaxing at the end of a busy day. Staff extremely helpful with questions before arrival and responded to us swiftly when needed - it’s so lovely to know that they take pleasure in their little business. We honestly could not recommend The Penn highly enough, it felt as thought we were staying in a wee apartment and not just a room with en-suite bathroom. It definitely had ample room for 2 people and a pup. If you are considering staying here, I would say go for it. It is simply amazing. We will be returning. Thank you so much.

The room was immaculately clean and the deco is lovely. We stayed in the superior king room. Reasonable cost and perfect location. Can’t recommend enough.

We could not fault the Penn from start to finish it exceeded our expectations. The room was beautiful and clean. Our dogs got welcome packs and beds. The host was super helpful and attentive.
