With the exception of a few niggles the visit was smashing. Location, food, decor all lovely. I would recommend and re visit.

Drafty single glazed sash windows at the ground floor. You could hear all traffic and people going by. The shower was very good but missing a piece off the control head. Whilst the bathroom was spotless it would benefit from the use of product like mould and mildew around the shower occasionally to eliminate the spots of black mould. However these are observations and not complaints.

An exceptional small hotel in a quaint old seashore villages, sympathetically modernised to retain the feeling of age while giving modern comforts. The staff were, without exception, helpful and friendly. The food was very good. The location, in a quaint old estuary village is beautiful an is convenient for a number of attractions such as the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway and Muncaster Castle. A great experience.

Because of the nature of the building, perhaps not the best choice for a person with mobility issues.

First impressions were impressive & knew that we were onto a winner if the inside was going to be as well kept as the outside. The Pennington did not disappoint. From the moment we stepped in the building to the moment we stepped out every aspect was first class. We were greeted by a lovely friendly lady who answered any questions we had. Onto the room the staircase up to it was beautiful old polished wood & all around the attention to detail & cleanliness was just amazing. The room was beautiful. Once again immaculate,the first aspect which grabs you is the bed. You hope it’s as comfortable as it looks & it does not disappoint. Everywhere is spotless & every amenity you would need & wish for is covered. We were in the restaurant in the evening & the food was just divine. The waiting staff were a range of ages & all most certainly knew how to deliver customer service. Breakfast was the same. It all just ran like clockwork.

Breakfast was excellent, staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. We also ate on the evening and had additional family members join us. The food was exceptional. We pre ordered the food several days before arriving, Helen contacted me via email and was so helpful and polite. The food and service was brilliant.

We stayed in the family room and the views were amazing looking out over the estuary. The room was clean and spacious the only thing I would say is that it could do with a little decorating. However it certainly wouldn't put me off from staying again. My parents stayed in a different room and it was very nice, clean and well presented.

This was a repeat visit and was lucky to be able to book the ground floor room with easy access - super wetroom which is ideal as although not 'disabled' my mobility is compromised. The staff are lovely here, welcoming and friendly. The bed is comfortable. Internet access was 'iffy' on this visit which has not been the case on previous occasions - a nuisance but not a major issue.

Some minor restaurant comments would be that the wine list is rather unimaginative and the menu choices have on previous visits shown more variety. Hot breakfast course not really served hot enough (porridge, avocado and poached egg on toast) - these were not major issues they could easily be rectified with just a bit more attention to training of younger staff.

We enjoyed the location of the hotel right on the water front. The size of the room was great and the shower was excellent. Breakfast was fantastic absolutely above our expectations. The evening meal in the restaurant was very enjoyable and the food was great quality and cooked to perfection we would definitely recommend eating here. The bar area was comfortable. There was also an outside seating area.

The bed was a little short both me and my partners feet hung over the bottom of the bed however the width of the bed was great. The room smelt of what we could only describe was wet dog l, which was a little overpowering to start with but thankfully our room door could be left open to try and air the smell.

Very comfortable and clean room ,with everything you need for a nights stay. The evening meal was excellent and we would highly recommend .

The room for the price was a little tried with peeling paint in a couple of areas.The breakfast was disappointing for one of us .Especially after having a lovely evening meal. The scrambled egg was cold and like rubber and uneatable. Unfortunately, no one came to ask if everything was okay .

Location - sunset views over the estuary out of the front facing windows were stunning. Staff - super obliging. I answered your question above as to whether the hotel fulfilled our bed type preference in the affirmative but they reported that they had never received our bed type preference from Booking.com and were only able to accommodate our request on our arrival by offering us a third (family) room at no extra charge. Really exceptionally obliging of them. Food good. Dining room and bar pleasant. Clean and comfortable.

Nothing at all not to like - oh, maybe the sausages at breakfast - more chipolata than Cumbian but that's nit picking!

The hotel was very comfortable, the food was very good, and the staff was exceptional. The cooked breakfast was perfect. It was about quality and proportions rather than quantity as is often the only criteria. The dinners were imaginative and tasty and my allergies were dealt with without fuss or making me feel that there were items I could not have. They were simply adjusted. Often one does not get that at top rank restaurants. The bar and serving staff were among the best I've come across. They were polite, friendly and very efficient and really seemed to care that we were enjoying ourselves.

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The family room was large, clean and very comfortable and the hotel had a nice location on the estuary. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Although the food was tasty, the food service in the restaurant was incredibly slow. We waited an hour for our dinner and almost as long for our breakfast. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and drinks came quickly, so the problem is obviously in the kitchen.
