  • "The duplex apartment was fabulous, very comfortable, spacious and much better equipped than Sykes’ description stated, eg oven gloves,tea towel, kitchen roll, detergent, tea, coffee, etc."

    With 4 of everything not really enough to be able to wait to fill dishwasher but that didn’t bother us, we wash up as we go. Found the bed comfortable but small (standard double). The duvet was too small for the bed, we found a larger one in the cupboard and swapped it, possible just a housekeeping error. The appartment. was very warm, clearly well insulated. We turned the rads down to 2. It was clean but there were dusty areas eg radiators and in corners. Bathroom needs a bit of maintenance but still lovely. Sykes’ information is out of date. Reception closed at 6pm, we almost missed it. The pool, sauna etc were shut at 6pm Tues -Thurs. Sykes had said 9pm, We’d have aimed to arrive 1 hr earlier had this information been supply. There is a pay washing machine and dryer on site £2.50 for each. Whitbarrow staff and holidaymakers were all very friendly, felt like a real home from home. Other reviews complain about the parking, this is less than 5 mins walk away and Whitbarrow are happy foryou to park by reception to unload/load your car, so no problems experienced. Disabled parking is right next to reception. There are Charging Points there too. Location was great as close off to A66 (and quiet!), we had good hill days out at Ullswater, Ennerdale and Honister Pass.

    Thank you for your kind and helpful review. Property Owner

  • "This place was the most amazing getaway for me and my partner!"

    The hotel and facilities was so accessible! The restaurant was so nice and the spa/pool was so relaxing! I can imagine this place would be perfect in the summer as the apartment has a balcony! The hotel itself was close to cafes and activities to provide more variety with food and entertainment! We loved this place and we hope to come again in the foreseeable future! (Would highly recommend) ❤️

    So glad you enjoyed your stay..do come again! Property Owner

  • "The apartment was clean and comfortable."

    The kitchenette was adequate for a week's stay. The views from the patio doors and terrace were beautiful and the terrace would be well used in the Summer. We looked forward to our return to the apartment after a day in The Lakes. All staff were polite and friendly. The leisure facilities were good and easily accessible as they were in the same building as the apartment. We look forward to a return visit.

  • "I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Whitbarrow Village."

    My apartment at Ullswater 29 was excellent. It was beautifully presented & had everything that I needed. The only problem that I personally encountered was the fact that the apartment was a duplex. I have angina & asthma plus I am in my late seventies & climbing 13 steps, a few times a day, didn’t suit me. Unfortunately the lift was out of action one day during my stay & as the apartment was on the second floor I again struggled when walking up the stairs. The fire alarm went off in the very early hours of one morning during my stay plus also late one night. I was staying at Whitbarrow for a week. The alarms were false alarms. The staff were very apologetic. The staff at reception were very helpful & attended, very quickly, to any problem that I had. The pool looked very inviting & was enjoyed by fellow holidaymakers. I used the restaurant on a regular basis &, on the whole, the food was quite good & the majority of the staff were extremely helpful and kind. The grounds are very well maintained. I wouldn’t hesitate to return to Whitbarrow Village again. This was my third visit. Next time I would ensure that I didn’t book a duplex apartment due to my health issues

    Thank you and so sorry about the duplex…one advantage of Duplex is that you have much more space than studio and the rates are same or even less than standard studio as I prefer to have unit occupied rather than increase rates as we are all suffering from a cost of living crisis.

    Comfortable and clean. Views were amazing. Apartment had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend staying here. Only one thing and nothing to do with apartment, was the lift was broke in the building the whole time we were there. Not good when you are on second floor with cases and shopping to bring up. But only mattered on check in and check out day. Rest of the time it was healthier to use the stairs

    I would advise to buy all your food supplies in penrith as there are no shops in the village, if staying in the hotel there is no carpark which was not stated when booked you have to park in main carpark 5 _10 minutes away , when we stayed there the lift was out of order the whole week had to carry luggage up 2 fights of stairs, the crazy golf was a big let down needs improvement and maintaining, the apartment was basic the kitchen as only got a 2 ring hob no oven and a microwave the restaurant was only opened 3 days ,the staff were very helpful ,

  • "This duplex apartment enjoys lovely views and it is quite comfortable."

    Being on the second floor it can be a trek if the lift is out of action, which it was for the entire time I was there. There are no mobility aids in the bathroom, surely an oversight as they are so easy to install. Although you can unload your car, you have to park it in the large communal car park which is some distance (if you have a disability car badge, you can be accommodated at the nearer the apartment but that is not guaranteed). I would not recommend too much cooking (there is no oven) in the apartment as the smell does tend to linger! Surely a washing machine would be of more value than a dish washer and the TV is from another age! I was unable to eat in the restaurant as it was closed Monday to Wednesday inclusive during my week. It looked very nice with beautiful views. The swimming pool, sauna etc. are all very nice and well maintained; it's great at low season when you can have the place to yourself, but I would not want to be anywhere near it at high season! The Staff are very friendly and helpful. I would return but to an apartment on the ground floor and out of season. But Apartment 29 is fine if you are able bodied. Oh, forget streaming films from Netflix etc. as the signal is not strong enough for that.

    Thank you so much for your detailed and comprehensive feedback..truly appreciated. I have been informed lift is fixed. Property Owner

  • "Excellent accommodation with spectacular views from the terrace."

    Slightly cramped in the living area due to amount of furniture. The property sleeps 2 yet there were 4 chairs around the table. I didn't miss having an oven as much as i thought i would and i soon got used to the size of the kitchen preparation area. The bedroom was nice and big with only 1 small problem which was the radiator gurgled when on so it had to be turned off at night. This wasn't a major issue for us. The bathroom was a good size and the shower was very good. The bath was slow to fill but was large and very enjoyable after a days walking. Overall an excellent stay in a great location and a very enjoyable stay was had by us both. I would certainly use the property again.

    Thank you for your kind feedback. Radiator will be checked and any air inside drained. Property Owner

    Room is just as shown and the pool / jacuzzi / steam room / sauna are all good. As has been said before the staff at reception are excellent although we didn't have any problems during our stay. Was amazed at what you go for what (in our case) was only £46 per night! If I had to give a negative I'd say that the apartment can be a bit on the dark side as all the lighting comes from lamps so there's nothing to illuminate the middle of the room, however we didn't find it a problem.

  • "Overall the cottage was a lovely relaxing stay."

    There was just a couple of things that I would say need attending to . Bathroom shower no hot water so had to have baths or use the shower after having a swim and a bulb out over the sinks. Cobwebs hanging from the smoke alarm and the beam in the bedroom, water damage stains on the ceiling over by the small window and thick dust behind the TV. Light out in the extractor above the hob . All reported to reception staff, who were all lovely. The only down side to the holiday was that the lift was broke the whole week, this really did impact on the week as the cottage was on the top floor which ment using the stairs each time we left the cottage and as one of us is disabled this made it very difficult especially when first checking in and checking out carrying cases and bags up and down stairs. But we would defiantly stay here again, the location was beautiful, the staff couldn't do enough for you .

    Ullswater 29 has stairs between living area & bedroom, toilet/bathroom downstairs, not a problem for us but could be for some. Oven/Grilling facilities were simply a microwave (plus 2 ring hob) so it can limit what you can cook. Lighting is described as romantic but not easy to read or work with. No bottle opener (crown top type - there is a corkscrew) provided. Cooker extractor just above the sink so average height will bang their head. I imagine it could be very busy in high summer. View (when it stopped raining) was lovely. I would cheerfully return.

The bustling market town of Penrith, once the capital of Cumbria, enjoys a central position between the Lake District, the Westmoorland Dales and North Pennines and is ideally placed for taking in all that the region has to offer. Renowned for its wealth of specialist shops, the sandstone buildings of Penrith hide intriguing yards, lanes and alleyways, with a myriad of attractive cottages, gardens and little shops. With a wide choice of excellent pubs, hotels, restaurants and entertainment, Penrith also offers a museum, and Millennium Trails round the historic city streets. Within easy reach of the town is Rheged – an innovative visitor centre with shops, restaurants, exhibitions and a giant cinema screen showing educational and informative films. Brougham Castle, Brougham Hall (The Windsor of the North), Lowther Castle and Gardens, Long Meg and her daughters (the 3rd largest stone circle in England) and the historic city of Carlisle are all a short drive away, as is the stunning scenery of both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.
