Ash Bank is on the edge of the built up area of Penrith and very close to the A66 and M6 but you'd never guess when you see the open view of the mountains from the dining room and attractive back garden.

Had a wonderful nights rest at Ash Bank, Richard went out of his way to ensure I had everything I needed, a lovely cup of tea on arrival and one of the best full English breakfasts I've ever had. Coupled with a stunning room overlooking breathtaking views means this really is a gem in the lake district.

Ash Bank guest house was first class from start to finish. Fantastic location just off the M6. Top quality accommodation and breakfast better than most hotels we've stayed in at! A real hidden gem and home from home - would highly recommend even if its just to recharge your batteries as a stopover on a long journey.
