Penrith Calthwaite Hall Hotels

"Before going I spoke to the owner twice and she was very nice and answered all my questions. The Wheat Shed was so much nicer than the pictures, spacious rooms and spotlessly clean, perfect for our family get together. We wanted to chill out for the weekend and didn't leave the property, making the most of the hot tub. Can't recommend highly enough, thank you and will certainly go again."

"This was our second visit to High House as a family of 9. 6 adults and 3 children of various ages. The House was very well decorated for Christmas and the welcome pack was very well thought out and most importantly very tasty. There is ample room for everyone to stay together and also have their own space if needed. We found the beds to be really comfy and the rooms spacious. Barbara our host communicated really well in the lead up to our stay and even popped over on our first night to check we were ok and show us the appliances. Its location for us gave the best of both worlds. You can be in the middle of nowhere in the hot tub watching the Deers, pheasants and robin and yet only 20 mins to Carlisle or Penrith for all your essentials and days out. Overall a great holiday. Would happily stay a 3rd time."

"Property was very clean and a lovely welcome of home made soda bread and ginger cake, was a treat.We found the stairs a little difficult at times, but all rooms were beautiful, characterful and homely.Shame we couldn’t use the TV due to lack of wifi but we appreciate the area has problems with signals.We would have liked some egg cups but overall it was a well stocked kitchen.Thank you for a wonderful stay."

"Nicely appointed cottage that had everything you could need.Plenty of internal space, outside rooftop patio and hidden garden area.No wifi signal, and poor mobile phone signal added to the seclusion - away from the real world. Very rural, transport necessary to get anywhere."

"Chose the cottage as we needed to be near Skelton and proved to be the perfect spot for us. Excellent base to roam from and to explore the less touristy parts of Cumbria. The cottage itself was well equipped with the host on hand should they be needed but we didn’t experience any issues during our stay."

"Lovely house in a lovely area. Welcome pack excellent including home made shortbread which was a nice touch."
