Watch the sunlight dancing on the water as it cascades over Aira Force. Look out for any rainbows in the mist.

This cascade of water is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Penrith. But Aira Force isn't the only highlight in the area. Hellvellyn, Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum, and Thirlmere are some other interesting attractions close by.

8.8/10 Excellent! (376 reviews)
Had a nice enough stay over the weekend. Room was very small but did the job. The room seemed clean but there were partially used toiletries still in the shower from the last visitor. Didn't have the chance to try the food but the dining area looked lovely and cosy. The noise from downstairs didn't carry up which was a plus. I'd probably stay here again.

8.4/10 Very Good! (471 reviews)
My bedroom was clean and comfortable, with an incredibly comfortable bed. However, the bathroom was poorly maintained and in need of renovation. The black grouting and stained bathtub made it an unpleasant space.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (75 reviews)
Staff are excellent and very friendly. Stayed in the Bond room, was ok but a bit tacky. Bathroom ok but not at the rating of 5 star. Food was quite expensive for what it was. Parking is difficult and fills very quickly Due to layout and way people park.
