We had a fabulous stay and Vickie was friendly and approachable. The house and room was impeccable with complementary dressing gowns to enable us to enjoy the plentiful refreshments in comfort. The breakfast was delicious and Vickie kindly gave us a late check out to allow us to get ready without rushing. Parking was available readily at the front of the property.

Check-in was easy. The place is a short level walk to the town centre, with a range of independent restaurants & shops. The breakfast here was generous & delicious. The place was very clean. Vickie was friendly.
There was too much road noise for us & we were awakened by late night revellers on the street. This is outside Vickie's control, however. If we stayed again, we'd request a room at the back of the property and/or bring earplugs.
Had a one night stay at Abbey House , Upon arrival was greeted by Vickie who instantly made us both feel welcome ,Spotlessly clean B&B , Comfortable bed and a superb full English breakfast to set us up for the day ,Would highly recommend this Guest house ,,
Room was very nice and clean
Great location for a first night stay as part of the Coast To Coast cycle ride. Modern and clean facilities with bike storage. Lovely staff and an excellent breakfast

Great location, lovely host, clean and comfortable
It was clean, great hostess and location,. Lovely breakfast and room was nice.
Nothing all very good.
If only all B&Bs were like Abbey House. Vickie is a great landlady and the service we received was terrific. All of our needs were catered for & the breakfast was excellent. Shame we were only there for one night.
Absolutely nothing.
Nice clean large room, host very accommodating with an early breakfast. Lovely extra touches in the room.
Room was very warm but we stayed during the heatwave.
The room was lovely, the breakfast was delicious. We were made to feel very welcome!
Good location for anything in Penrith. Vickie (the hostess) was very welcoming and helpful. The room was very comfortable with good blackout blinds to help make the room dark. Breakfast was excellent.
The room was somewhat on the small side and right next to a busy (and noisy) road - fortunately I had some earplugs with me.
Vicky has obviously thought through all aspects of what her guests would be and provided well equipped rooms when others only provided the bare minimum. Things such as nice skin and hand lotion in bathroom. Full length mirror and plenty of tea, coffee and snacks. Breakfast was excellent.
We had a squeaky ensuite door which we told Vicky about and she said she would oil. Minor issue but being of a certain demographic we noticed during the night.
Location ,cleanliness,breakfast,hospitality all top notch
Breakfast was excellent, check in was easy and good instructions.
Everything was perfect. Great bed and breakfast, lovely hostess.
Clean and tidy property. Clean room
Vickie was very friendly and welcoming and even sorted our disc on the car, and sent us a taxi number. Our room was spotless and i loved the extra touches, of which there were many. Breakfast was lovely. Would definitely recommend.
Nothing, all was good.
Vickie was an excellent host arrived early and everything was ready for our stay Would definitely recommend the B&B Close to town centre
Can’t think of anything as everything covered
It was in a good location Very clean with everything you need. The host Vicki couldn’t have been more helpful.
breakfast was really good ,the location was perfect for us
The breakfast at Abbey House was amazing, they’d really thought of everything, bathroom super modern and bedroom clean! Really enjoyed our stay, great access to bus and train station also.
Made to feel welcome by the host. The room was clean and breakfast was well prepared and presented.
Nothing obvious to report on as a problem.
Very friendly
Host was excellent, breakfast very good.
The room was lovely, spotlessly clean, cosy, and incredibly well stocked. The little extras really made a difference – the Mini Cheddars were such a nice touch, and we also loved the shortbread and rocky road waiting for us in the room. 😋 The bathroom was modern and well equipped, with plenty of toiletries provided, including body lotion and other thoughtful essentials. The bathrobes and little chocolates left on the bed were a cute touch to come into. Breakfast was absolutely amazing 😍 with a huge selection of teas to choose from and delicious food. The lady running the B&B was so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely lovely! You can clearly tell a lot of thought has been put into this B&B, and it was those extra touches that made it for me. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay!
Very comfortable and friendly. Great breakfast
Great location and lovely owner

Good size room. Shower room very stylish and spacious. Private parking - always a plus. Dining room light and airy. All very clean. Breakfast was good.
Spotlessly clean room with comfortable bed and lots of lovely extra touches - spare supplies in the bathroom, bathrobes. Nice to have biscuits not in plastic packaging.

Host Vickie was so friendly and accommodating- from recommending places to eat, sorting parking and agreeing to serve early breakfast( on a Sunday!) as we needed to head off earlier than expected. Breakfast was superb, lots of choice and beautifully cooked. Lots of little personal touches in the room were appreciated and love Abbey House low impact/ avoiding plastics approach too
Very comfortable room and bed. Good breakfast choice and quality. Very good value for money.
Parking a little limited, and location on a busy road. But these were minor niggles.
I liked the room. Exceptionally clean and modern. The breakfast was excellent and Vickie herself was very much the Landlady. We also managed to park at the rear of the property which was ideal.
I have no complaints at all and can think of nothing that I didn’t like or that could be improved.
The room is clean and spacious for two people. Vickie is super friendly and helpful. Check in and out was smooth and easy.breakfast was delicious as well!
It was just perfect. Lovely comfortable room. Fab breakfast and just down the road from where I was working

Easy access from M6. Parking available. Vickie is a welcoming host who goes a long way to ensure her guests have a comfortable, enjoyable stay. The B & B overall is spotlessly clean and the rooms are modern and contain everything necessary for guests comfort.

Breakfast was excellent, quickly served and cooked perfectly. Vicki was very much focused on giving her best to her guests.
Found no faults .
Great!!!
AAA+
Warm cosy lobby with beautiful scented candles. Spacious room. Great selection of complimentary snacks and drinks in the room. Great breakfast. Super selection of cereal bars in addition to cereal. Proximity to town centre perfect. Owner very responsive to all communication prior to travel.
Parking is difficult. We were fortunate to get one of the 2 spaces at rear of property but there was no other parking close to property when we arrived at 6 pm. Daughter would have liked honey at breakfast. But there was a great selection of jam and marmalade, chocolate spread, biscoff spread etc. so wasn’t a problem to me.
Well appointed and conveniently located.
Breakfast was amazing. It was so delicious.
A beautiful guest house with so many lovely touches and Vickie was a fabulous host!

One of the best guest houses we have stayed in. The breakfast room and food choices were excellent. Vickie and Gary were friendly and helpful. The rooms are tastefully decorated and modern. Lots of nice extras like bath robes and complimentary treats. The location is ideal with bars and restaurants within walking distance. The main line train station is nearby and the M6 is within easy reach.
We liked everything about our stay
Everything!

Nothing to dislike
Lovely hosr, good breakfast. Central location
Room and bathroom small but well equiped. Some parking at rear of house but hard to find as terrace house.
I had a great stay at Abbey House B&B. It is in a good location — a short stroll to the centre of the town. The host Vicki (and her husband Gary) were both extremely hospitable and friendly, the breakfast was really good with a number of options available. In the room the bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Wi-Fi easy to access. I have no qualms at all recommending this B&B and will be happy to stay there again next time I’m in Penrith.
Clean, well presented & good location for Penrith - breakfast very good. Clear instructions for self checkin
Vicki the host was extremely friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was fantastic and the location was ideal for my needs. I would definitely recommend this place and will definitely visiting again
Nothing
The breakfast was excellent and the location was good as we wanted to be near Penrith town centre.The property was immaculate throughout and the bedroom spacious and comfortable.An excellent hostess.
The parking is limited due to the central location similar to all the B&Bs in the locality but luckily there was space for our car but it was not an issue to ourselves as at a push the car park could accommodate 3 cars,.
Lovely warm welcome, parking available and super breakfast.
Nothing!
Well located for town, leisure centre and motorway. Parking outside. Lovely decor. Host very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast great. Easy walk into town. Would recommend
Nothing really.
