Set in the “Gateway to the Lakes,” The Loft, Penrith offers welcoming accommodation just a short stroll from Penrith’s bustling town centre. With shops, pubs, cafés, restaurants, and takeaways right on your doorstep, you’ll be perfectly placed whether you’re after a family meal, a relaxing drink, or an evening of live entertainment. Tucked away at the end of a quiet alley and accessed via an external flight of stone steps, this charming hideaway offers a peaceful setting while still being opposite the bus station—ideal for exploring Cumbria and beyond.
Inside, the Loft has been thoughtfully furnished to create a homely, comfortable atmosphere. The spacious entrance hall provides plenty of room for walking boots or bikes, leading into a cosy open-plan lounge, kitchen, and dining area. Comfy seating surrounds a Smart TV, perfect for catching up on your favourite shows or enjoying a Netflix film. Meals can be savoured at the dining table or a leisurely morning coffee while planning the day ahead. The well-equipped kitchen includes an electric oven and hob, fridge, microwave, coffee machine, and dishwasher.
Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms—one with a king-size bed and the other with a single bed. A family bathroom with a shower over the bath, basin, and WC.
All electric, bed linen and towels are included, with a cot and highchair available for little ones. Two well behaved dogs welcome. Please note: access is via an external stone staircase, which may not be suitable for those with mobility concerns, and there is no private parking. However, Penrith operates a disc parking scheme during the day, and a car park is conveniently located opposite. Guests also share a courtyard with neighbouring Woodman’s Cottage, complete with table and chairs for al fresco dining or relaxed afternoons.
Penrith sits in the scenic Eden Valley, where gentle countryside walks and cycle routes abound, and inviting village pubs serve local ales and hearty meals. The vibrant market town of Keswick is just 30 minutes’ drive along the A66, while Lake Ullswater’s sparkling waters are only 15 minutes away. From there, follow the road to Patterdale and take the dramatic Kirkstone Pass to reach Ambleside or Windermere. The historic city of Carlisle, with its castle, cathedral, shops, and family attractions, is also half an hour away. With excellent road and public transport links, Woodman’s Loft is a superb base for exploring all that Cumbria has to offer.
