Penrith is a beautiful little town. I arrived via bus from London. The accomodation was easy to walk to from the train station. I was met so kindly at check in. After a long bus ride and still struggling from jet lag, I had the most amazing sleep. The bed was very comfortable and the area is so peaceful. The breakfast in the morning was delicious. It was a very lovely stay. They were able to assist me with any questions, very accomodating.

This country guest house is situated just 3 kilometres (2 miles) from junction 40 of the M6/A66, offering you a small, luxurious and homely alternative to regular travel accommodation.

Some hotels and guest houses can be very impersonal and soulless, treating each guest as little more than a name or number. At The White House Guest House, we are very different, focusing our efforts on providing a personal and unique service, where all our guests are treated as individuals.

What a lovely host! She runs the guest house very well. The vegan breakfast she prepared was amazing, thank you!

    Staff were proactive in suggesting a swap to one of their apartments as they had a Christmas party being held in main hotel and this would be quieter . Staff were welcoming, friendly & professional. Great location for lovely walk to Penrith Beacon.

    A great location for an overnight stop on our journey to Scotland. The breakfast was excellent and the lady who served us was super helpful and didn't hesitate to make sure I could have a gluten free breakfast. The Inn is old and full of character and all staff we encountered were lovely. I would say it's an adequate place to for a cheap and cheerful overnight stay.

    We likes absolutely everything, from the room, facilities, breakfast and particularly our hosts. Our room was comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was great and set us up well for the next leg of our journey to Scotland. Our hosts were very friendly and very welcoming. We have no hesitation in recommending Acorn Guest House.

    Deepa & Bandula, the charming Sri Lankan hosts of the Guest House, have really created a 'home from home' with their hotel. Both were very welcoming throughout our 2 night stay, & nothing was too much trouble.

    What a gorgeous guesthouse! The decor is beautiful throughout; it’s clear the owners have put a lot of time and love to making the house look the way it does. The whole house is spotlessly clean! There was so much choice at breakfast time - fresh fruit, berries, pastries, toast, cereal. The hosts are so welcoming and friendly too!
