Book Macdonald Hotels Penrith accommodation from AU$155

We went for a three day break after new year. The hotel was slightly busier than we or the staff expected which created a great atmosphere. The hotel is rooms above a restaurant/Pub, neither of which can be heard when you get to your room which was a real pleasant surprise. The residents lounge area at the front of the pub is a great idea, when the log fires are on it really is a great place to relax with a drink and let the dog sleep after a days walking. The bedroom was compact, but very clean & comfortable. The ensuite bathroom (beautifully decorated) is a great size, unlike the bath which was on the small side! The choice of food & drink was superb, lots of fresh ingredients used in the menu. The breakfast was superb, with lots of choice. I have to mention the staff, who from check In to check out were amazing! They are extremely professional and friendly with it. They couldn'tdo more to make you feel very welcome! The village of Pooley bridge is a great base for exploring the Northern area of the lakes. The fact it snowed whilst we were there only added to the villages beauty. We will definitely be returning!

Really nice stay. Comfortable and clean with a really nice breakfast. Would stay again for sure.

Great location and facilities, cosy and comfortable room, friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely stay again!

Room and hotel including facilities excellent. Stayed in feature room which was lovely and airy large and comfortable. Only complaint was no drawers or pegs

Amazing stay at the hotel with my wife. The staff were very friendly and helpful whenever required. The spa is lovely and the gym is also really nice. Wish we could have stayed there longer!

Great food and drinks in the restaurant. Breakfast served from 7.30am Mon - Sat and 8am on Sunday. Recently renovated, friendly staff, evening meal was great, try the steak pie!
