Great location in Penrith - easy walk to pubs nearby
Good that there is a private car park
Room was probably most spacious we’ve had (stayed in 2 B&Bs in Penrith already) and was very clean, had lots of storage space, TV, tea and coffee and bathroom was good size too.
Breakfast was lovely and Alison changed it to suit me (sorry I’m awkward 🤣) - took out anything I didn’t like as I’m a picky eater. Veggie options and nice scrambled eggs always a plus!

Temple Sowerby was a lovely quiet village with great views of the Pennines. Dog walk to a local National Trust property was easy to find. Lovely pub, The King’s Arms just along the road from where we stayed served lovely evening meals too.

Temple Sowerby is great walking territory and very handy for Penrith where there were many tempting places to eat. Dining at The King's Arms however was a good decision and we especially enjoyed the breakfast.

A very old, unusual village with a maypole that was about 40 foot high. A pleasant area to walk around. It was very easy to travel to other ares. Acorn House a NT property was close by with interesting gardens. The Kings Arms served excellent food.

A very pleasant place to stay .
A very pleasant place to stay .Staff are friendly pleasant and helpful.Food was excellant. Only thing to let the village down was the great lack of a village shop,not only for the locals ,passing trade,and guests of both inns in the village. I think it could be a goldmine and would add considerably to enhance a stay in Temple Sowerby.

The location is in a quiet village on the edge of the lakes and if you want you can easily drive there as the main road in to the lakes is 5 minutes drive.
But if you want to stop local there is footpaths in all directions and we would if stopped longer would have explored.
The main plus for us was that in the future and more time it would be a great area to explore more and relax in if you want.
This is a wonderful small hotel in a beautiful location. Lovely comfortable rooms, tastefully decorated with every possible amenity. The manager, a delightful Polish lady, did everything to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Dinner was outstanding (her home made cheese-cake is to die for!) and breakfast was equally good. This was the last night of a two week holiday in the Lake District and Scotland and could not have been better - easily the best accommodation of the trip (and by no means the most expensive.) Simply outstanding.
The hotel is quaint with an old worldliness. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The breakfast was excellent. The room was clean and comfortable. I particularly liked the deadlock on the bedroom door: impossible to lock yourself out or forget your key.
I stayed one night and found the House at Temple Sowerby a great location for a stopover. The room was clean and well kept and there was a good supply of tea, coffee and water. The bed was very comfortable, I had a restful night followed by a lovely Breakfast.
We had a very enjoyable stay along with our small dog & were made very welcome. All staff were extremely friendly & helpful.
Food was delicious. We will certainly recommend the Kings Arms at Temple Sowerby.
Lovely room, great garden to wander around.
Location was very pleasant, hadnt been to Temple Sowerby before.
Was handy for our charity walk on Saturday.
Breakfast was great, good service.
Very friendly staff, excellent breakfast and grounds. I wish more hotels were as old school personable as this one. Had a fab time, would defo stay here again.
