This was a perfect stopover on our way to Scotland. Very comfortable clean room. Welcoming hosts including providing freshly baked muffins! Secure storage for our bikes and a private car park. Within an easy walk of town to find somewhere to eat. Brilliant!

Only a short walk into Penrith, free off-road parking, comfy bed, welcoming host - and unlike some B&Bs in Penrith it doesn't demand a two-night stay. The building isn't ultra-modern, but it suited our stay just fine.

Room was lovely and clean and hosts very friendly and welcoming. Your breakfast is brought to your room, which is a lovely touch. I stayed in a single room right at the top of the house. If I had one little thing to say, it would be the lack of a mirror in the bedroom to get ready and do my hair, but other than that, no complaints. There was private parking at the back of the hotel which is a bonus as Penrith can be difficult for that.

A lovely property and lovely people. Very comfortable bed. Everywhere was very clean. There was perhaps some need for improvements in some areas but only standard wear and tear. Nothing to spoil the stay. Far enough out of town to be away from any noise but close enough to access on foot. A good base for Ullswater and other lake district locations. Overall I would definitely recommend this place for comfort and convenience oh and a cracking breakfast 😊

And half the price of the local premier inn. Cant recommended this bed and breakfast enough. John Room 6

I enjoyed my stay at Norcroft Guest House. The staff members are kind. I was able to check-in early and was so grateful for that. I was offered a slice of lemon cake on arrival (delicious!) and offered fruit to take on my last morning when I wasn't going to be there for breakfast. The breakfast was tasty and delivered to my room at the time I requested. I would definitely stay here again if ever in Penrith in the future. Thank you! My only suggestion would be an upgrade to the mattress and pillows.

A traditional bed & breakfast. Great communication from the hosts in advance, and they were very helpful on arrival sorting out parking and fresh water to take up. The room was comfortable and clean. I didn't have time for breakfast, but it would have been served at the room (you pre-order the night before). The hosts were very friendly and I would stay there again.
