VISIT THE ROUNDTHORN COUNTRY HOUSE

Close to the Lake District and North Pennines

Roundthorn Country House is situated on the outskirts of the market town of Penrith, set in a peaceful countryside location with panoramic views of Lakeland Fells.

Just 10 minutes from both the M6 and A66, Roundthorn Country House is a five minute taxi journey from Penrith Railway station, on the London – Glasgow West Coast Line.  The hotel is also actually on located the Coast to Coast Cycle Route.  Penrith bus station is around 30 minutes walk and there are regular bus routes covering the Eden Valley and Lake District.  Bus timetables can be found by clicking here.

In the heart of the Eden Valley, an unspoilt area of outstanding natural beauty,  Penrith is very much a gateway to the Lake District.  It has a host of traditional, modern and specialist shops and boasts famous local produce such as Penrith Toffee and Fudge and Cumberland Sausage. You can find more information about Penrith and things to do in and around the town itself on the ‘Discover Penrith’ website.

The immediate area around Penrith itself is full of idyllic walks, which are detailed in our very own “Doorstep Guide” designed by Lake District Foundation, which shows you which walks can begin right upon the Roundthorn’s doorstep. This can either be downloaded here, or a printed version can be picked up at the reception desk at the Roundthorn on arrival.

Mountains, Lakes, Castles & a wealth of History

The Northern Lakes are dominated by Ullswater &- only 20 minutes from the hotel &- and Haweswater, and this area is renowned for its breathtaking scenery. There are so many lovely villages to see, such as Dacre, Watermillock and Patterdale. At Martindale, on Ullswater’s eastern shore, you may see the last herd of wild red deer in England. Or take a cruise on the Ullswater Steamers from Pooley Bridge to Glenridding and enjoy the views of mountains reflected in the lake, with Helvellyn as an impressive backdrop. Brougham and Lowther Castles can both be seen from the Roundthorn and provide an interesting historic encounter, as does Hadrian’s Wall, a short journey to the north. The ruins of Pendragon Castle, by Mallerstang to the east, are connected to Arthurian legend. The castle was built by Uther Pendragon who was reputed to be the legendary King Arthur’s father. If Neolithic stone circles are more to your taste, Long Meg and her Daughters, near Little Salkeld, is one of England’s largest.

Lovely setting with fantastic view of the country side. Hotel beautiful and staff very friendly and helpful. Evening meal was well presented and tasted excellent, size of portion was more than enough.

I've stayed here a few times before. But this time I booked a couple of hotel rooms and I was running a small training event. The hotel is beautiful. Nothing is too much trouble for staff. The rooms are lovely. Breakfast was great. My training course went fantastically well - smooth. No bland buffet, everything was fresh and looked tasty.

Where do I start, a lovely very impressive building with friendly warm welcoming staff. We stayed for my partners 50th, we were treated to the upgraded apartments and WOW they are stunning , clean and very modern. We had two lovely large bedrooms both with en-suite, a warm living room with kitchen and dinning areas on onsite parking.

Lovely place to stay. Great views from the front and situated just outside Penrith. The room was clean, spacious and a little step back in time. Bar is well stocked and the staff are great. Plenty of parking. All in all a thumbs up from us.

We have just celebrated our wedding at the Roundthorn last week, and we could not have made a better decision making this choice as our wedding venue ... a great selection of food and beverages at exceptionally competitive prices, staff could not be more helpful and attentive to all our needs, we could really not wish for more for our most special day.
