About Pennine Hotel

Rooms at the Pennine Hotel are simple and en-suite, each with drinks provided and a straightforward comfort that suits walkers passing through rather than guests seeking anything showy. With only six rooms across three floors, it has the feel of a small, easily-run establishment rather than a large hotel, and 24 hour reception means arrival times are never a problem.

Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar serving breakfast and meals, with kids' meals available for families, and free WiFi throughout. The hotel sits on Market Square in Kirkby Stephen, with pubs, restaurants and other eateries nearby, so guests aren't limited to eating in. Pets are welcome, which suits the walking crowd this part of Cumbria attracts.

The Eden Valley and Yorkshire Dales are on the doorstep, along with the Smardale Gill Viaduct, making this a practical base for cycling and walking rather than a destination in itself. Free on-site parking is provided, useful given the rural roads leading in and out of town.
