Acorn Guest House

Lovely place to stay. Rooms immaculately clean. Bed comfy with lots of pillows. Great shower. Hosts go above and beyond. Very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. Now we’ve found this gem we will definitely be back. Just sad we didn’t book a longer stay. Fergus is cute too x

An absolute gem. We stopped for one night to break up a journey to Scotland and are so glad we chose Acorn Guest House. Our room, although on the front of the property, was so peaceful and quiet. The level of comfort was superb and everywhere was spotlessly clean. You can’t ask for more than that! Our hosts were very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. The generous breakfast set us up nicely for the second leg of our journey and if we were to make a similar journey, we would certainly look to break it up by staying here again.

Stayed at this hotel in Penrith after a day trip to London deciding we didn’t want to make the 40 mile journey home after a long day. We were not disappointed bed was exceptionally comfortable lovely clean accommodation very accommodating hosts. Our train was delayed but it wasn’t a problem arriving late, but outstanding issue was breakfast. It was cooked to order exceptionally high quality non-greasy and was a great end to the stay at this property. Will definitely be an option for us in the future

The Acorn Guest House is centrally located in Penrith and a comfortable walk to downtown. The accommodations are welcoming and satisfying. A fine place to stay and have a good night's sleep. The hosts are pleasant, helpful and warm. They accommodated. our every request. I was thrilled that they served us haggis with our breakfast. When checking in I mentioned that haggis is a favorite dish. While I can't be sure I suspect the hosts obtained it especially for me. I shall return.

Whilst this Guest House has good reviews and I am sure it is lovely with good owners, let me draw your attention to some small print details of such bookings and specifically Tesco Clubcard bookings. We booked through Tesco Clubcard and **********. We had a serious family sickness that meant we could not be there on the date we wanted to be. We tried to change the date but Acorn Guest House refused to change the booking. 

This meant that we lost the Tesco Clubcard vouchers, not a big thing in the broad scheme of things but what was very upsetting was that we also had to pay the taxes and associated costs etc on the booking. This is needless upset and cost in these problematic times. 

 BUYER BEWARE!

The owners are very nice and friendly they make you feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door. The room was really clean and well stocked up with towels tea,coffee milk sugar etc. There was plenty of hot water nont tepid. The bed was really nice and comfy.The Full English cooked breakfast was excellent it was cooked to perfection there was juice and cereals available and even fresh fruit in a glass on the table when you sat down which was lovely carnt fault this Guest house would definitely stay again Steve and sue

Received a warm and friendly welcome with good advice where to go in the local area. Room was lovely and clean with a very comfy bed. Good breakfast to start the day. Ideally placed for Penrith and local area.

First, the good points. The owner kindly let us check in slightly early, there was somewhere secure to leave our bikes, the breakfast was good ( fresh fruit to start) and the guest house is conveniently situated We had paid in advance, but when the owner saw our electric bikes, it seemed he arbitrarily decided to charge us an extra £5 per bike “ because of rising energy costs”. Bike batteries are NOT like electric vehicle batteries and cost very little to charge up:＜ 50p at the most and much less than boiling a kettle several times, so we thought this was a bit much, especially as the internet wasn’t working in our room (4) all night, to which the owner responded “ yes it is!” ,and, “ well, no-one else has complained” The owner, we felt, had a somewhat confrontational attitude and we would not recommend staying here, despite the convenience , as it’s right on the main road and our room was very noisy and hot.

A well run guest house by hosts Gordon and Jocelyn. We were a party of 16 male golfers playing the area for 3 nights. Nice clean hotel with a good breakfast and the hosts were pleasant and sociable. Golf clubs could be stored in an outside secure shed in the garden. Parking at the front and side of the hotel was fine and just a 5 minute walk into town. We filled all of the rooms. We would definitely use this hotel again should we golf in the area again. Thanks for looking after us .
