I've just stayed here as I had to attend a funeral in Penrith, the rooms are a good size and spotless. Nothing was too much trouble, parking right outside, tea, coffee tv, on-suite large spotless bathroom. It's right on the coast to coast route as well. Can't thank the owners (Joyce and family) for the sensitivity they showed me during... More

Needed a stopover on the way back from a family wedding in Scotland and were lucky enough to be directed to The Acorn by a local publican. Really clean and comfortable room in a lovely town. Anita and Joyce are really welcoming and friendly but the star of the show was the breakfast! Fresh, quality ingrediants served with as much... More

We were allocated space inside the house to store our 10 bikes overnight... More

Our hosts recommended a restaurant in town which was able to cater for our entire party (19 of us in total) - The Lounge - good food where... More

Our hosts were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. Anita recommended a restaurant in town which was able to cater for our entire... More

It's been a long time since I stayed in guest houses or B&Bs and the Acorn re-affirmed my faith in British hospitality. Anita (?) and her staff made us 14 C2Cers incl. WAGs and children very happy and welcome and somehow managed to fit in 8 bikes too. Great breakfasts too ;-) only minor let down was that the hot... More
