We were 3 flights up, and the room was clean but small, and being an old building everything creaked, we were facing the front on a busy road, but the owners were nice, it was just cramped and you could hear the people next door going to the toilet.

A good stop over in Penrith!

Not too difficult to find (opposite the ESSO filling station), parking is on the pavement in front of the building which is unusual but OK. We were allocated a family room just for the two of us which gave us more than expected space! Rooms were comfortable. Breakfast was cooked to order and was tasty.

A lovely stay.

The hosts were friendly and knew the area well with recommendations for places to visit or go to eat. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean with plenty of hot water available in the bathroom. The breakfast was delicious. Good value for money. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would love to return on a future visit.

Nice little guesthouse with friendly owners

We stayed at The Acorn with family & friends. The owners were lovely, really helpful & friendly. The bedrooms were newly refurbished and the beds lovely and comfortable. Breakfast was great if you like cooked breakfasts, if you prefer continental/cereal/yoghurts etc, it’s limited. There is also free parking

Everything is ok except bed and breakfast. Bed : two single bed were combined and mattress was so thin and soft so was not comfortable Breakfast : it was ok but I was bit shocked that I checked one of assortment mini small jams, a black current one and it was used by other guests. The sealed lid was already opened when I tried to open and nearly empty which was used by other guests.Really bad and not hygienic

Last minute stay.

Gordon was a lovely host. We arrived about 40 minutes early, and he allowed us to check in straight away. The room itself was lovely (we stayed in the King Ensuite). Very spacious and tidy. The breakfast was lovely, ideal to fuel us for our day of walking.

Homely

After a very very long day I arrived at the Acorn Guest House around 6pm to be greeted by a very happy, smiley Gordon (host). Nothing was too much trouble for the Acorn Guest House even ordering my evening meal (Covid restrictions) from a local take-away and making sure I had everything I needed for another very early start the next day. I will definitely be staying here again should I be in the area. Thanks guys,

Our hosts were lovely and so accommodating quickly rectifying an error that I made with booking. Our room was very comfortable and large as the two of us shared a family room. I was concerned at first about being right on a busy road but the traffic practically stopped and it was actually quiet. The location is within easy walking distance of restaurants and the central square. Breakfast was lovely and our hosts were charming. I would gladly return and I highly recommend the Acorn Guest House.

Horrendous attitude of host in relation to other inconsiderate guests. Basil Fawlty without tact or the Cybil to moderate.
