Rooms at Albany House B&B come with a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities and either an en-suite or external bathroom. Bathrobes are provided.

The bed and breakfast is situated 7 km from the Whinfell Forest. Newcastle International Airport is 73 miles away.

The bedroom and bathroom were extremely clean (and shiny). There were clean towels everywhere! We had one queen bed and one single bed for two people which was plenty for us. There were working table, an extra basin, tea set (with electric kettle) and snacks provided in bedroom. The brownie was really good. Those snack helped us a lot because we were little tired when arrival. Our room is on second floor with window. The window was clean, clearly see the outside. The room temperature was perfect, not too cold or too warm also because of the weather that night was great. Susan is very lovely. The property was quiet. We didn't hear any noise from anywhere. The front door is inaccessible without the keys which made us feel safe. It's 5 minutes walk to bus station. The stagecoach runs during weekends every hour, explorer ticket can bring you around a lot. I had discount from Booking but this is definitely worth it. We hope to stay longer next time.

This country guest house is situated just 3 kilometres (2 miles) from junction 40 of the M6/A66, offering you a small, luxurious and homely alternative to regular travel accommodation.

Some hotels and guest houses can be very impersonal and soulless, treating each guest as little more than a name or number. At The White House Guest House, we are very different, focusing our efforts on providing a personal and unique service, where all our guests are treated as individuals.

staff very healpful and accommodation very high standard

The property is around 31 km from Buttermere, 40 km from World of Beatrix Potter and 49 km from Lake Windermere. The property is non-smoking and is located 24 km from Askham Hall.

We loved the authentic English countryside. We were lucky enough to secure the last room. The location was off thd beaten track but it wax busy... the room was quaint in thisc17th century mill. There was an outside area with picnic table a carport above a creek. The low doors and ceilings were as expected... we had a few pints & dinner which were all very good....the breakfast was plentiful & made to order. there were only 8 rooms, comfy bed & pillow. Serviceable ensuite. This property is a great find, exactly what we hoped for in our holiday travels. This is not a property for anyone with mobility issues.

    From start to finish, everything was so well organised, I was fully informed of everything and the few days' stay ran smoothly. There was parking, the place was clean and had everything I needed; the whole place was quaint and such a delight. The hosts put a lot of effort into making sure everything was right including decorating it for Christmas, and organising a couple of little treats. Good location, very quiet and calm, yet handy for Penrith and the M6.

    A great location, clean and tidy with everything you needed for a great stay. The caravan was in a very quiet spot with no nearby road noise. Carol our host was an excellent communicator and couldn't do enough for you.

    Alison is a great host; warm, welcoming and very helpful. The room was warm and clean, the bed was comfortable and it was quiet at night. There were a number of breakfast options, and the food was of a good quality and well cooked. The location is excellent, with a private parking area at the rear of the property. I could walk into the town centre in a few minutes and it was ideally suited to visit Potfest. The accommodation is very good value for the prices, and No 3 will be my first choice on future visits to Penrith.

    We likes absolutely everything, from the room, facilities, breakfast and particularly our hosts. Our room was comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was great and set us up well for the next leg of our journey to Scotland. Our hosts were very friendly and very welcoming. We have no hesitation in recommending Acorn Guest House.
