Living locally, we wanted to eat close by. The meal provided, Roast Beef etc. was everything we wanted it to be - tasty and plenty of it. Very pleasant staff and an excellent venue. Will definitely be back - probably a regular Sunday treat!

Visited the hotel again last week 21.3.13. Were greeted by friendly and accommodating staff without a previous booking. They have quite an extensive menu, but for us there was only one dish on the menu, the 'Lamb Henry'. We've tried it before and again we were not disappointed. What a piece of meat it just dropped off the bone. The... More

Other dietry requirements caterd for. Excellent food at an excellent price in a friendly, warm, relaxing environment. TV and newspapers available to use. As a woman I have... More

Evening meal was excellent as was the ale. Breakfast was good quality and plentiful and served with a good morning pot of tea. The room I stayed... More

5 of our family dined here on 11 October on the eve of a family wedding. The three of us who chose homemade lasagne could not have been more happy; the two that had haddock and chips were most disappointed. The haddock would have been straight from the freezer to the deep fryer and was tasteless. All dishes were served... More

Our car broke down in Penrith and we popped into The Agricultural Hotel for a snack and a drink while waiting for a replacement car. We all had cheesy chips and a drink, the staff were friendly and efficient. Liked the atmosphere as there were papers to read and a TV to watch while we waited. Enjoyed our drink and... More

This hotel is one of the best i have ever stayed in, and i should know as i travel all over the country with my work. The rooms are spotless - i love the fact that when you grab your towel, it smells of fresh laundry soap powder and not the usual chemical smell you get from hotel towels. The... More

This is a fantastic all round family run hotel. Rooms are very clean and spacious. Food is excellent and the staff are superb. Would Highly recommend this hotel to all my friends, family and anybody else who will listen. Can't be all that bad if superstars like Barry Manilow have had it recommended to him!!!!

The Agrucultural Hotel was not really good enough for me. There were some major issues with rooms and food. Room: Chunky pine furniture, heavily patterned carpet (disguising stains?) synthetic duvet with very flat old pillows. Mattress old and worn (you could feel the springs) that was two or three inches short of fitting the bed frame. Bathroom: Thick towels (plus!),... More
