Blue Swallow - Penrith

Despite its charm, Blue Swallow Bed & Breakfast had notable shortcomings. The room I booked, while clean, was a bit cramped and left little space for my luggage. I was disappointed to find no common lounge area to relax in. This lack of shared space, especially after a long day out. Lastly, the absence of any background music during breakfast added to the lackluster atmosphere in the dining room.

Penrith vibes 🌟

Wow, it was like home! The brekkie was lekker, fresh made to order, and the beds were comfy like a good old plaasbed. Loved the cute dog too, got to give her some love!

Parking can be a bit tricky. Just watch out for the street access.

My husband and I stayed here over the years and always had excellent accommodations. We recently stayed last week and I can't say enough about the over the top hospitality that we received. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the breakfasts were delicious. Karen and Alison go out of their way to make you feel at home. We will be staying with them again on our next visit to the beautiful Lake District!

The location to the center of town is a plus. The staff are so helpful with suggesting places to go and visit and places to eat. They constantly make sure all your needs are met. Every attention to detail is met. I am very impressed by their kindness and genuine hospitality.

Attentive and amiable staff, everything immaculately clean.

Gorgeous hotel, the stay was excellent, perfect location out to the taxi. Units with a lovely selection of coffees etc. Location really close to the Coast to Coast ride-amazing hosts and the Lake District and N/S travel.

Blue swallow bed & breakfast is a real gem! Karen was so cute. Our family room was super clean and had good homemade treats waiting for us. Breakfast was a standout, with made-to-order options including the best poached eggs we've had. Plus, it's conveniently close to the train station!

Good and ideal position, I liked staying in this place.

The service was first-class, no complains at all.

Very friendly and attentive staff, wonderful breakfasts, good job!

great-sized, en suite rooms and well equipped bathrooms.

The hosts really know how to make you feel

Welcome right from the start, providing homemade treats like delicious tiffin and fudge in the room. The well-decorated and impeccably clean space created a cozy atmosphere, while the breakfast was a good way to start the day. Be aware that parking can be a bit tight, so arriving early is wise.

A smart choice for a brief stopover in Penrith with reasonable value. The hosts were accommodating, even providing extra flapjacks for our ride! Arrive early for the best parking spots.

parking's a bit tight but the homemade treats and fresh milk in the room were a sweet touch plus breakfast was super tasty with tons of options.

Wi-Fi was reliable, but no luggage storage options available .

My previous visit to the city didn't prepare me for such lovely extra touches, like homemade treats and a hearty breakfast. The hosts were super cute, and the comfy room.

no common lounge area available.

The staff was extremely friendly

The breakfast was full cooked. the double room was convenient. - Central heating, iron with ironing board, and TV set provided. - Great location for the Coast to Coast Cycle ride. - A nice place to stay in Penrith, especially when compared to other hotels
