4/5 - Good
Lovely little village with lovely quaint shopping






While Newton Rigg may not have many sights to explore, venturing just a little farther will lead you to top things to see and do like Rheged and Lowther Castle and Gardens.

Great clean room, great food and great staff. Easy to park and accessible

Everything was great except they didn’t enter my registration and got fined £60. Make sure you do it and don’t rely on the hotel to do it for you. It was a daft error on my part and will be using this review to assist others.

We had a lovely stay at this lovely house. We found the house very welcoming and it even had a Xmas tree and decorations up. The kitchen was very well stocked. We all found the beds comfortable. The route up to the house is not for the faint hearted but worth it once you arrive at the property. Thank ...

Lovely little village with lovely quaint shopping
Pooley Village is currently having a bridge replaced which was swept away in 2016. This has caused some disruption for vehicles and as a consequence the bus service isn’t fully operational.
Didn’t go to Penrith was in Tebay near Penrith
En route hotel to final destination
Didn’t see anything. Only stayed in hotel to break up drive from Cairnryan ferry to home
Penrith is close by to the beautiful Lakes and scenery of the lake district, so having a car to explore is a must. Without one, transport is very expensive and limited.
