We had booked a room with dinner bed and breakfast in the main hotel for two nights as we had long days planned and couldn’t be bothered heading out in the evenings. However on our first night there was a function that overlapped into the main bar area. As a consequence the hotel team moved us to one of their bungalows to avoid us being disturbed by the event. A considerate thing to do, which exemplified the friendliness and welcome we received from the team. Our bungalow was spotless and comfortable. Dinner each night came from a small menu, with helpings of the excellently cooked food making us too full to consider three courses! The small wine list also shows some decent realistically priced options and the bar is well stocked with ales, lagers etc. Breakfast offers a small buffet and some choices from the hot freshly cooked section which turned up promptly and tasted delicious, as with dinner good sized helpings! We enjoyed our stay and if ever back in the area wouldn’t hesitate to rebook.

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.

“A lovely hotel with excellent food”

A lovely small hotel with excellent food. The breakfast and dinner were both of very high quality. There’s a good children’s menu. The family room was spacious and comfortable and we all slept well. The service was excellent and the staff made us feel very welcome.
