Everything Really nice georgian house with an incredibly comfortable bed and beautiful room. The hosts were really accommodating with my check in time and were really nice to chat to. The room was all that I needed, with a cohesive decoration, and a shower with good pressure. There was a small fridge just outside the room where I was able to put some things to chill down. The breakfast was one of the best I had in a hotel, with lots of options, including gluten free and vegan. Fresh berries were also available. I will definitely repeat whenever I am up in Penrith.

    Alison is a great host; warm, welcoming and very helpful. The room was warm and clean, the bed was comfortable and it was quiet at night. There were a number of breakfast options, and the food was of a good quality and well cooked. The location is excellent, with a private parking area at the rear of the property. I could walk into the town centre in a few minutes and it was ideally suited to visit Potfest. The accommodation is very good value for the prices, and No 3 will be my first choice on future visits to Penrith.
