Strickland Arms - Penrith

The accommodation is beautifully peaceful. The beds and bedding are perfect, and the showers are warm with heating available. I enjoyed a wonderful night's sleep. The couple who run the pub and accommodation are lovely. A delicious breakfast is included. The pub's interior is fascinating, filled with memorabilia and stories. They focus on sustainability and supporting the local community. There are nice walks available from the pub, and plenty to explore nearby by car as well. It can get busy in the evenings, so I recommend making a reservation and possibly ordering meals in advance. Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Great view, Quiet.

The establishment offers accommodations that feel outdated, reminiscent of the 1970s, while charging modern rates. They would benefit from watching "Four in a Bed" on Channel 4 to understand what is expected for £120 per person, per night—definitely more than what they currently provide. I recommend looking for better options elsewhere; it shouldn't be too hard to find. Rooms: 1 Service: 2 Location: 2

Food and drinks: There are plenty of options on the menu, all made from fresh ingredients. Service: 5/5 Location: 4/5

We stayed at The Strickland Arms over night in one of their cabins. The cabin was really comfortable and clean, with heating and lots of hot water. We ate our dinner and breakfast in the pub and both were really good. Lots of choice on the everning menu, pizza, pies, burgers. I had the chicken stroganoff with rice with was really tasty. Breakfast was also great, big portion and good quality. The cabin and pub were fully doggy friendly. Just be aware that you can't check in until 5pm. Rooms: Cabins were really high quality. We boom a two night cabin, but didn't realise that as two people there are two rates and that the cheaper two person rate only included a stay in one room of the cabin. The other room is locked. The owner will email you in advance to ask how you want your room or rooms (if 4 persons) set up either twin or double. Both rooms are lovely, although the main room is the one with the view.
