Excellent location right in the centre of Penrith, on one side of a square with plenty of parking (tap your Car Registration number into a screen in Reception and you can park for free). There is a large supermarket adjacent and a well known high street pub / restaurant just around the corner, where you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner. the Premier Inn has a restaurant as well, with a limited but tasty looking menu. Check in can be automated, just enter your booking reference into the machine. On our arrival, this system wasn't working, but staff are available 24/7 to check you in manually. Staff members were welcoming and friendly. You will need your room key card to use the lift or access the stairwell. We had a Premium Room. A reasonable size with a large and super comfortable bed, spare pillows if you require them. An armchair by the window, desk with lamp, a modest amount of storage, hair dryer and amenity tray and kettle. WiFi with these rooms was complimentary, but we were disappointed by the speeds experienced. Lovely smelling hand wash and shower gel - containing Oud, which reminded us of the Middle East - an over the bath shower, plenty of hot water and a heated towel rail. Granted, Penrith is not exactly buzzing, the room was quiet, warm and very comfortable. We opted to have breakfast in house - an extra £9.95 per head for 'limitless' hot breakfast, and were pleasantly surprised at the choice available - fruit juice, a coffee machine with lots of options and a variety of teas and fruit / herbal infusions. Pastries and bread, yogurt, fruit and a selection of cereals. The hot selection was a self-serve arrangement - all the usual suspects - and staff topped up the serving dishes regularly. The restaurant looked out over the square and was a pleasant environment, I don't think it would have felt particularly special for dinner, but it suited breakfast well. We had booked months in advance, as the hotel is well located for a certain holiday park about ten minutes drive away, and we got an excellent deal; even including the two breakfasts we paid under £70 for the night. We would thoroughly recommend this Premier Inn, as mentioned, well located for holidays along the road, but also just a few minutes off the M6 and very easy to find.
