Very welcoming and professional staff. Good location near the centre of Penrith without being right in the centre. Beautiful large garden (needs a bit of tidying though! ;-) ) Very comfortable bed. Room very well equipped, even with a hair dryer and a clean bath gown!

The old style single-glazed guillotine windows are a bit drafty, even for a summer night. I would suggest to try improving them, if it is not too much trouble and does not denature the room/house style. Insulating better the windows can probably save energy and money over winter time. This could be a win-win decision.

Breakfast was fantastic with home made bread, great selection of cooked options and home made granola. Our room was beautiful and well thought out.

The food was really fantastic, all local and great quality. An excellent range of choices and flexibility and really delicious. The homemade bread deserves a special mention - so good!

Sarah and Deano made Bank House B&B feel like a home from home. From the moment I arrived, I felt looked after: Sarah even came out to the street with me to check my car wasn’t in the permit-only area. The service, food and variety of choice at breakfast was amazing. It was really lovely to see the amount of effort and thought that had gone into choosing the breakfast ingredients. As a solo traveller, I really appreciated having the company of Sarah and Deano at breakfast, it was interesting to hear their insights about the local area and I enjoyed their genuine interest in my plans for the day. I stayed in Room 0 and it had such a large bathtub you could practically swim in it. The view of the garden was beautiful, and it was lovely to be able to pop out into the garden at sunrise or just before sunset. In the breakfast room, they have a mini fridge with fresh milk in milk jugs for each guest that you can take back up to your room and use to make tea, coffee or hot chocolate. But you can also use the fridge to store any items of food you’ve brought with you.

The only slight issue I had was that some allergies were triggered – but I am very sensitive to allergens. It normally happens when I stay somewhere that used to allow smoking and there are pets there. However, I didn’t see any pets when I was there and no smoking was allowed in the rooms, so I’m not sure what could have triggered some airway irritation.

Hosts were lovely and the breakfast was exceptional. Local produce with info about sourcing.

Nothing really.
