Penrith Place Fell Hotels

"The room was a very good size, very clean with coffee and tea provided. Breakfast was very generous and excellent quality, we had an evening meal on our first night which was also very good. Thoroughly recommend a stay here as it’s also very close to Ullswater with its beautiful scenic views. I have dropped one star as the parking outside the hotel is a bit hit and miss as it’s also used for the surrounding pubs and shops. However there is a public car park a short walk over Pooley Bridge. "

"Nice hotel"

"Lovely place with stunning views!!! "

"Car park was large and easy to access."

"Underwhelming. This is a very ordinary hotel, despite the hot tubs, pool and spa. The decor is vile, all dull browns with turquoise. In the “Troutbeck” room there is a nasty trip hazard into the bathroom. A stubbed toe was annoying but a cracked skull would have been more so. Tip: if it’s not fixed put a rolled up hand towel down to fill the gap and catch your attention. Pillows were like sandbags and need immediate replacement. The mattress had an uncomfortable lump and was likely in need of replacement too. The hot tub was good, as was the jacuzzi bath. The fridge was handy, and the chairs comfortable enough for a short while. Free parking on site. The building is a maze of corridors and stairs. Regrettably the lift was out of order for the first 24 hours or so. As a walking stick user this was less than ideal. Breakfast was okay but not special. My choice of evening meal, “roast of the day”, was almost inedible. Vegetable selection poor. The wait staff were pleasant but scruffy, in contrast to the smart and highly exuberant maitre’d. It is far from being a gourmet restaurant and there are other places to eat."

"We have been coming to the lakes for many years, and thie Duke of portland is by far our favourite place to stay....and it's just not down to it's location alown, it's the attention to detail, it's the Decor inside...its absolutely stunning....the owners should be extremely proud of what they have achieved with his property......"

"Wonderful stay, absolutely wonderful, helpful staff. We would definitely recommend and will stay again. "

"Very comfortable flat. Perfect location. Warm and cosy. Everything we needed. Thank you. "

"We had a lovely stay at this lovely house. We found the house very welcoming and it even had a Xmas tree and decorations up. The kitchen was very well stocked. We all found the beds comfortable. The route up to the house is not for the faint hearted but worth it once you arrive at the property. Thank you for a wonderful stay "
