The Pennington - Carta

The room was spacious and quiet, the food in the dining room especially on an evening was very goo, reasonably priced as was the wine. The staff were very helpful and the dining room was decorated well and looked very modern.

We decided to stop by for lunch on a whim and we're glad we did. The food was delicious and everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. The seafood platter was exceptional, so kudos to the chef working that afternoon. We sat in the bar area since we had our dog with us, and it was a lovely seating area.

We stayed here for the night and it was everything you would expect, clean, nothing super fancy but everything you need and you get a good night sleep. Staff were present. Only reason I gave 4* and not 5 was the shower curtain had to curve round because of the roof design and It was snug but functional. Would recommend. Ver carta

Really good value for money if you want a nicer meal than just pub grub. This restaurant set within the Hotel, certainly exceeded my expectations for flavours and portion sizes. The Mixed starters two main courses a bottle of wine and a pint of Italian beer came in at a very pleasant £77. There were the usual favourites for all the family on the menu but with a slightly Cumbrian twist. Delicious would definitely return

If you want lots of shops and a great nightlife you’re in the wrong place. If you want a beautiful coastline, Muncaster Castle and The Ravenglass and Eskdale Heritage Railway then you will love it here! We spent 2 nights at the Pennington. We had a light, bright and clean room within a minutes walk from the railway. We had a delicious meal at the hotel on the first night and breakfast was excellent. Would thoroughly recommend.

Myself and my friend were given a warm welcome when we arrived for a meal at the Pennington Hotel on Bank Holiday Sunday. The decor is very nice, with a warm ambience and the staff were very friendly and attentive. We had absolutely delicious meals and the prices were on a par for the area, but our meals were far superior to any other places we had tried whilst staying with our outdoor group at Wasdale YHA. We recommended the meals to members of our group and some booked for the following evening. They too were impressed. Ver carta

The staff at the restaurant were welcoming and friendly. The dining room was very comfortable, and the food was of excellent quality and portion size. The service was top-notch, with the added bonus of hot food being served. The only downside was the distance from the car park to the hotel entrance for disabled drivers, but it is understandable why dedicated disabled spaces are not closer to the hotel. Overall, a stay at the Pennington is highly recommended, with plenty of activities in the surrounding area, such as the Steam Train.

Stayed here for 1 night following our wedding so 'Honeymoon ' nothing extra provided and room was basic. We booked dinner, bed breakfast for 1 night was over £245 Dinner we were unaware you only get £25 allowance so having three course you had to pay extra this needs to be made clearer as this is not good value package) service was slow in evening and breakfast although only 3 tables busy waited ages. Breakfast was tiny sausage, overdone bacon and tiny portion of beans and smallest egg I have ever seen very tight_ and 1 slice of toast each. Not good value and seems to be penny pinching.

We ate twice in the restaurant while staying in the nearby caravan park. Both times we were extremely satisfied with the food. Portions were incredibly generous and everyrhing we chose from the menu (different each time) was delicious. Am always nervous ordering a steak as have had some howlers, but felt it would be perfectly cooked, and it was. Service was efficient and relaxed with no feeling of being pressured to order or finish quickly, adding to the enjoyment. Would recommend booking as was fairly busy both nights and not huge staff. Decor of the hotel was modern and welcoming and a good selection of drinks at the bar. Ver carta
