About Pentonbridge Inn

The Cumbrian countryside around Carlisle is quiet, green and made for slowing down, and Pentonbridge Inn sits comfortably into that setting as a small hotel with just nine rooms. It's a proper inn rather than a large hotel, with a bar and restaurant at its centre and a relaxed, unhurried feel throughout.

Rooms are cosy rather than grand, each with an en-suite bathroom and a Nespresso machine for guests who want a decent coffee without leaving their room. Free WiFi, drinks in room and 24 hour reception cover the practical side, and accessible rooms are available. Breakfast is served on site, and the restaurant itself has a strong reputation, drawing on the surrounding countryside for its food and standing as the main draw for many who stay.

There's free on-site parking and an electric vehicle charge point, useful given the rural location, along with business services for those combining work with the trip. Pets are welcome, and a pub, restaurant and other entertainment can be found nearby for anyone keen to explore beyond the inn itself. It makes a good base for a night or two in Cumbria, built around good food and a proper night's sleep.

Peter Gordon

We enjoyed a perfect overnight stay with dinner. The food was the main attraction for us with a Michelin star tasting menu which was delicious from start to finish. I chose the prestige wine pairing and the sommelier was full of information on each glass with generous pours. Breakfast was also delicious and a great way to start the day. Local ingredients feature throughout dinner an breakfast. The room was bright, modern with great views out over the countryside. We also topped up our EV on site free of charge at one of the two chargers the hotel provides. The service from the team was fantastic throughout from the friendly welcome on arrival to the efficient check out after breakfast. A wonderful experience.

We have just enjoyed the Australian Truffle menu lunch, WOW it was outstanding. I will keep my eyes open for the next themed event. Their Supper Club menu is also divine. DON'T MISS OUT!

A rural retreat. Relaxing from the first moment. Exceptionally well designed rooms with a feeling of modern quality. Lovely, warm, bar area. Relaxed feeling to the 8 course tasting menu - very well presented by friendly staff. Care and attention from start to finish.

The Pentonbridge Inn is not short of excellent reviews. why, because it is excellent. From the moment you are greeted at reception to the moment you leave the premises it oozes class. The staff, the service and the rooms are exceptionally good, combine that with wonderful food and you cannot fail to be impressed. Our stay was probably the best hotel stopover I can recall in many years. Well done to all the team at Pentonbridge Inn.
