This is the second time I've stayed at Albany House. It's everything you could want from a guest house. Susan, our host, was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The guest house is spotless and extremely comfortable; there is a good choice for breakfast and the cooked options are large and delicious.Penrith is a fascinating little town, with lots of nooks and crannies and independent shops. It's also a great location for exploring The Lakes or the norther Pennies / Hadrian's Wall.

The manager was friendly and welcoming and we will definitely try to stay again when we are in the area. ||The selection of drinks and snacks in the room was a great treat before bed. My
