Strickland Arms - Penrith

We stayed at The Strickland Arms over night in one of their cabins. The cabin was really comfortable and clean, with heating and lots of hot water. We ate our dinner and breakfast in the pub and both were really good. Lots of choice on the everning menu, pizza, pies, burgers. I had the chicken stroganoff with rice with was really tasty. Breakfast was also great, big portion and good quality. The cabin and pub were fully doggy friendly. Just be aware that you can't check in until 5pm. Rooms: Cabins were really high quality. We boom a two night cabin, but didn't realise that as two people there are two rates and that the cheaper two person rate only included a stay in one room of the cabin. The other room is locked. The owner will email you in advance to ask how you want your room or rooms (if 4 persons) set up either twin or double. Both rooms are lovely, although the main room is the one with the view.

Lovely little pub, quite small and can get busy around teatime. You can phone in advance and book a table for food. The food was very nice. Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Quiet

Awful and very disappointed with how they treated us. I brought my family from Mexico to come here and they turned us away. 3 days before I emailed and also rang the Strickland Arms to prebook. Once I arrived they said they hadn’t read any emails and they “forgot” to listen to the answering machine. Poor, very poor. I was expecting more from a well know establishment. We were staying in the close by village of Cliburn. Clearly did not contact the wrong Strickland arms as they have said below. Embarrasing response from the owners. Service: 1
