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.

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.

8.2/10 Very Good! (572 reviews)
The staff were very good and attentive.A really good thing would be if the attentiveness could be carried onto keeping the bar surface and tables wiped clean more often and the dining room floor needs brushing up and cleaning on a more regular basis.I put this sort of downfall into managers needing to be more vigilant and to up their game.Overall it was a good stay lovely clean well appointed room but that cleanliness does not transfer to the bar and dining room areas.
