Station Hotel in Eden

This place is atmospherically welcoming. Has friendly, approachable staff. Recent new management. Good business potential. Staff are aware of many challenges ahead but facing them with dedication and focused perseverance. Listed building. Geographically, an ideal spot. Excellent food. Comfortable rooms.

Not the cleanest. Bathroom shower head & hose were filthy. Mould round shower door & seal at the bottom of shower door was dirty. Supposed to stay 2 nights but stayed one. Bedding was clean. Bedroom window frame needed a good clean.

Abbiamo trascorso solo una notte in questa struttura. Che dire? Il personale è cordiale e ti accoglie molto amichevolmente. Viene offerto non solo il pernottamento, ma anche la possibilità di mangiare al pub e ovviamente bere. Le stanze sono un po’ retro, con mobilio in legno e rigorosamente moquettes, finestre non troppo efficienti dal pdv dell’isolamento del freddo e vasca da bagno convertita in doccia. Tutto sommato gli ambienti sono puliti. Letto morbidissimo, va bene per una notte ma potrebbe causare mal di schiena per periodi più prolungati. Piccola stufetta elettrica se gli ospiti dovessero aver freddo. Noi abbiamo anche cenato con hamburger la sera prima nella struttura, mentre per la colazione abbiamo approfittato del bollitore e delle bustine di caffè e the che c’erano in camera. Prezzi non bassissimi per essere un tre stelle, d’altronde ad ogni paese corrispondono diversi standard… 3,5/5!

Stayed here via booking.com as doingvthe C2C bike ride. Went to bed early due to a long day riding & being shattered & then dismayed to repeatedly hear the repeated spin cycle of a washing machine in the room above mine, and constant footsteps around same. The curtains are less than useless at keeping out the light from outside , & the Roman blind only pulls to half way down the window. Seriously thinking about checking out now & continuing the Day 2 ride a Ross the North Pennines. Its 00.39 a.m as I write this. The restaurant was not available on the evening of my stay due to abplumbing problem. Not Impressed at all.

Excellent gentleman was running the show. Once we were left stranded because of the train strikes, an extra night in the room was arranged with a reasonable price. Rooms may be bit dated, but did not bother us.

This was my first time visiting this hotel. This hotel is literally 2 min from the train station and coach drop off points. I was impressed with the warm hospitality of the staff who checked me in. My room was a Single Room located on the first floor. The only thing I did not like was the exclusion of a lift so the only way of getting to my room was via a flight of stairs. My single bed was very comfortable and I slept very well. OMG! What a awesome shower. The staff were very helpful and did offer me help with my suite case. This hotel is so nice and friendly that it more than makes up for not having a lift. The bar was very friendly and served awesome Guinness. I have booked again the family room and double room. Can't wait to visit here again.

If you go to the station hotel, you will not be disappointed, my husband and I booked in to stay as are daughter was getting married in the lakes,I have never stayed in a hotel with such friendly caring staff as here,honestly they couldn't do enough for you ,the food was amazing ,the rooms were spotless,the staff were so very very friendly and so helpful, always got a smile on there faces,it's been absolutely 💯 a joy to stay here and I would highly recommend it to anyone,if a down side there's no parking ,but we found a carpark 5 mins walk away which was fine ,but honestly go and see how friendly and welcoming there are and I will surly be going back some day .

We were very impressed with the friendly and welcoming staff. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Although the bathroom could have done with modernising, everything worked and we really liked the period features of the Station Hotel. We parked at the Blue Bell car park, which is a 10 minute walk away and can be paid for online.

Had an absolutely fabulous time. Stayed for four nights. Food is second to none. Great menu. Staff are so friendly and welcoming and atmosphere is warm. Rooms are really lovely and have lots of charm and character. This is my first visit to this area and I would definitely go there again. Also the hotel is close to amenities and train and bus stations. We'll worth the price too.

This is the second time I've stayed here, the first time was a couple of months ago when my 2 year old boy took unwell the staff were amazing and helpful! We came again yesterday with my mum, we had booked 2 rooms both rooms were very clean and cosy, and my little boy loved his view of the castle out of the window! The staff here are soo friendly I've never actually stayed somewhere where the staff are so pleaseant! There isn't any parking at the hotel but u can park just a few min walk passed the train station which isn't a problem atall. I will definitely be back the food is lovely and a great price too.

I stayed here during my Land's End - John o'Groats ride in July 2021. My room was comfortable and quiet. Breakfast - full English, perfectly executed - was excellent value. I would have liked to have stayed longer.

Just an overnight stay,but would happily have stayed longer,girls were very attentive,polite and very quick serving our very large helpings,beds very comfy,room was very nice,power shower really woke me up.thanks for a great nights sleep,,to the person moaning about noise it's an old and lovely building and the windows are wooden sash,which are pulled out to easily these days,,they suit the building and long may they last.we will be back as it's a great break on our way down from Scotland on holiday.

Staff incredibly welcoming and friendly. Check in and out system really simple. The pub has real character and a nice feel to it. The room was clean and sizeable with really cool traditional fixtures and fittings. Bed was really comfortable. Bathroom was modern with a powerful shower. I didn't get chance to eat here unfortunately. The location is also really convenient for travel and amenities. Will definitely stay again.

The Station Hotel near Penrith railway station is an ideal place to stay if you want to visit the Lake District ; and Penrith town centre is a 10 minute straightforward walk away.

Excellent meal good value & generous portions, I enjoyed my evening meal at the hotel nothing too fault!

We stayed at the Station Hotel for a week when holidaying in Cumbria. It has a welcoming atmosphere and all the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious and we liked the original sash windows and stained glass. The bed was firm yet comfy and the shower very efficient. There were common sense practical touches such as a full size kettle, hooks on the bathroom door and blackout blinds which all went towards making our stay comfortable. The hotel has a wonderful view of Penrith Castle from the beer garden and it's in a great location, close to the town and the train station. There is no dedicated parking, but you can pull up outside to deal with you luggage on arrival and departure. There is parking available in Bluebell Lane car park which is a few minutes walk away and during our stay car park charges were suspended which was a handy bonus. Being close to to the town and on the main road, there is audible traffic noise, but this was not a problem for us. We had one evening meal and two breakfasts in the restaurant and found the meals to be very generous in portion size and tasty, with super friendly service. Penrith is a fantastic base for exploring the Lake District, Scottish Borders and Northumberland/Hadrian's Wall. The town has a varied selection of restaurants and also two supermarkets close to the hotel which we found useful for purchasing picnic supplies. If you want good value for money, a convenient location and a warm welcome then the Station Hotel is an excellent choice.

Great customer service. Handled unexpected cancellation very well. Great to see such good standards.

El hotel fue muy conveniente para mí, ya que viajé en tren, pero el estacionamiento puede ser un problema ya que el aparcamiento más cercano está a un paseo de distancia. El hotel fue muy acogedor y puedo recomendar la comida tanto en términos de calidad como de valor. Sin duda volvería a utilizar este hotel de nuevo si estoy en la zona.

Nos alojamos una noche en la habitación 11 en el piso superior. Absolutamente no tengo quejas dado lo que pagamos. Baño y habitación en general de buen nivel. Camas cómodas. Ducha eléctrica decente con buena presión.Lo más destacado fue la comida la noche anterior. Mi pastel de carne estaba delicioso y enorme! Realmente luché por terminarlo. Estaba lleno de carne, realmente impresionado.Sin duda me alojaría aquí de nuevo. No hay estacionamiento, pero hay muchos espacios libres en el área.

El restaurante es muy agradable, la comida es excelente. Ofrece delicioso desayuno inglés y diferentes tipos de platos para todos los gustos. Mi calificación de 4 puntos debido a que no cuenta con parqueadero propio.

Called in for a meal and drinks on a Wednesday evening. The dining area is on the left as you enter the pub and is separate from the main bar area where the locals congregate. The menu was extensive and the quality of the food was excellent. The staff were very attentive, friendly and efficient. The one drawback was there was no real ale. Based on the food, service and value for money I would strongly recommend having a meal at The Station Hotel

Mi esposa y yo nos hospedamos en el Hotel Station las noches del 16 y 17 de abril de 2019. Como una cama de dinero para la noche fue muy buena. Su único inconveniente es su falta de estacionamiento, aunque pueden encontrar un lugar para estacionar. Está a la vista de la estación de tren y estoy seguro de que sería muy bueno para una persona o pareja que viaja en tren.

Amazing staff, from check in to check out ! Nothing was too much trouble . Bed mega comfy . Breakfast was cooked to order and amazing . Parking in Penrith is a nightmare but if your traveling by train it's ideal .

No había estacionamiento en el lugar, la habitación era un poco anticuada y un poco polvorienta, tenía una televisión de buen tamaño, té y café, tenía una bañera y ducha, la cama era extremadamente cómoda, era un poco caro ya que no estaba incluido el desayuno, el personal era muy amable y nos dijo que estamos para aparcar recomendaría.

On a road trip to Scotland we booked in here for the night. Lovely old characterful building, good sized room although the bathroom was a bit small. Had a meal in the pub in the evening which was amazing, great value for money and breakfast this morning was great too with a good selection. Overall this is a lovely place to stay, it’s a shame there is no parking but that can’t be helped. The absolute best thing about this place is the staff. Every single person we spoke to was so nice, friendly and helpful. It made our stay a pleasure, thank you

Booked 2 nights here through laterooms. There were 3 of us and it cost £140 in total for the 2 nights- bargain. We were put in the wrong room to begin with (genuine mistake- both myself and the intended guests in the first room had the same name!) second room was fine. Hotel is not modern but was cosy, and clean. Staff were lovely. We booked breakfast for our final morning only as we needed to be away to an event early on the first morning and the cooked breakfast was made fresh with your choice of eggs. They even didn’t mind when we came back from our obstacle race covered in mud... to then wash it all off in the shower!!! Excellent location for access to the town and amenities. No car parking but we found a sneaky space across the street without much difficulty. Overall great value and a good base for our weekend away!!

My word what can we say. Staff here are so so welcoming and friendly. Tony was a hoot. Accommodation could do with an upgrade, but we were very comfortable and everything very clean. We ate twice in the restaurant and was amazed at the quality and value. Would really recommend and would certainly stay again if in the area. Breakfast also well received. Pauline, Michael and Molly. Thank you to you all

Pros: lovely staff, greeted you as you came in, lots of big supermarkets within walking distance. Bathroom facilities were nice.

Looking for an overnight stay while travelling down the M6. This proved ideal. Very welcoming staff although the hotel is very tired, the food was good ‘ pub grub’ and the breakfast was freshly made to order. The room was quirky and very clean; comfortable and adequate for our purpose.

We went here for the first time today and had the 3 course carvery.

We went to The Station Hotel on Friday night which is steak night, my husband had steak with Stilton & garlic sauce,with sides and great homemade chips, I had Tapas with salad & garlic chiabata,followed by sticky toffee pudding & strawberry Elton mess cheesecake, what a wonderful dinner, well worth a visit if your in the Penrith,They will always make you welcome,there is a wide varied menu,anyone visiting there will not dissapointed

Went out for a run and ended up at Penrith. Was looking for somewhere to eat when my partner spotted the carvery sign out side the Station Hotel. Glad she did. From the warm welcome just after coming through the door. We were quite quickly shown to our table. This is not a posh place. More down to earth and homely.£7.50 got us a one course meal, £9.50 a two and £11.50 a three.I was pleasantly surprised to see lamb on the carvery. Even more surprised at the genius portion of meat given. Everything tasted fresh and really enjoyed my meal. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I’m sure if over here again. We wil back for food here again.( Below I wasn’t able to put star ratings as it didn’t seem to function. Would have put five for all three with what we experienced. )

Bit of a steak lover. They do a very good value steak night on a Friday evening. Usually quite busy and need to book in advance but well worth it.

Down on business - this hotel is great value for money - single room on suite - budget prices and central position . Parking is a problem outside however, there is plenty of parking in central Penrith.

No parking at hotel- at a paying car park 5-10 min walk. Room was so dirty (see the pics), broken blind, lamp blew when turned on, when we asked for breakfast were told it wasn't available...the list goes on. When we complained all we got was abuse and insults from the manager. Luckily booked through late rooms and we managed to get some money back. The pictures say it all. Safe to say never ever again! Yuck!

Staff are friendly and helpful Parking is not in the hotel. You have to park your car about 5 minutes walk away from the hotel. You can hear the noise from outside. Not double glazed windows. Bed is hard and pillows too soft.

We stayed here for one night before heading on to a local festival so we're loaded up with bags, tents ,chairs and all sorts after getting the train ..... we were checked in by a really friendly girl who even offered to put anything we wanted in the fridge. The room was clean with en suite bathroom also clean. After having a wander around Penrith we went back to the hotel bar for a couple of drinks and everyone was really friendly. Breakfast the next morning again was lovely and the lady serving was nice and chatty making us feel at at home. The only downside was that the room was noisy due to the amount of traffic but that's no reflection on the hotel or staff . All in all a clean friendly place to stay and we will be back.

Very friendly service and good food meant we really enjoyed our short stop for dinner. Old style hotel restaurant with generous portions.

This hotel is handy to the rail station if travelling that way. However we were travelling by car and there was no parking near the hotel. We had to park at the rail station and carry bags. The hotel itself was very pleasant with canopy bed, and antiquish theme. Great bathroom room was clean and tidy. No lift. If driving - parking is an issue.

Whenever I'm planning to stay overnight anywhere, either in this country or abroad if I'm going on holiday, I always check on Tripadvisor first. And almost always there is at least one very negative review in amongst a whole bunch of what appears to be really good reviews. Personally, depending on the circumstances, I tend to more or less ignore the one bad report. However, I've now got to say that this will be one of the "not so good" ones.

The sirloin steak was really nice think our group of 16 put pressure on the kitchen ,food was of a decent quality ,although a couple of the group found the steaks a little overcooked ,but you cannot fault portion size. They also do a really filling Full english Just waht we needed to set us up for hartside Pass.

i like it here good food nice surrounding, good staff, limited vegtrian options the chicken burger very nice very filling great vaule

Went for a family meal. Staff are lovely and friendly. Make you feel right at home. Food was delicious and plentiful, will defiantly return.

Spent a night while up training for a bike ride. Really great hospitality, lovely staff and clean / tidy. Bit of noise from the bar, but for the incredible value for money I really can't complain about a little bit of noise. The landlord even gave me somewhere safe to park the bike. Thanks to all staff for a great stay.

Central hotel - with en suite rooms. Limited parking outside but still walking distance from a supermarket car park. Busy bar - friendly staff.

evening meal for 11 people on a tuesday so everywhere was quiet , had checked a few pubs out the night before as you do, had been recommended to come here , a little apprehensive but was very impressed.

Stayed in the family suite located at the top of the hotel. Room was very cold as there was a gap by the window which also made it very noisy with passing traffic. Thought the kids could have a bath to warm up but there was no hot water! Still no hot water in the morning. The bathroom felt dirty and was in much need of a makeover as was the rest of the hotel, in particular the stairs carpet which was extremely dirty. Made me laugh that our room key also opened the front door and presumably every other room in the hotel! Breakfast was very basic. Had to ask for cereal as it wasn't offered, the food was cold and the coffee was like dishwater. Certainly was not worth £7.50 each. You could say you get what you pay for but it wasn't overally cheap and have stayed in a lot nicer places for less money.

We ate several meals here, as we were staying at the hotel. The food is excellent and made from scratch. The employees and owners are very friendly and helpful. They made us some of the best breakfast we had in England, which you can purchase if you stay in the hotel. I wish I could come back again!

Good hearty food, great service, fab place to refuel after day one of the coast to coast cycle ride.

There was a sign outside advertising steak meals at special prices - I forget how much - so decided to go there. The place was busy, it being the weekend. The waitress was very friendly. The food was so so - nothing memorable. The bill was more than expected. I thought it turned out to be expensive for what we had. I wouldn't rush back.

please visit the hotel & have a meal if you have the time *****all the way the friendly owners &staff; are very helpful

Excellent Sunday lunch and great value for money I normally find carvery roast potatoes too fatty to eat but these were crisp and fat free all in all it was a lovely genuine lunch at very reasonable price would highly recommend.

More of a pub atmosphere serving pub food. Service was good but food nothing out of the ordinary in traditional surroundings

Visited a couple of Sundays ago.Great welcome - clean, smart and homely. Food and service as ever great. Fantastic value. what more can anyone say. Thanks

Was recommended by a work colleague as we were going to Penrith thought we would seek it out went on a Sunday and was told the only have a Sunday carvery a pleasant surprise it was a limited choice roast beef or chicken but both cooked perfectlly First time leeks in cheese sauce a winner .The general decor is a little dated but good food at sensible prices makes up for it plus all the staff are friendly and attentive had a look at the weekly menu will certainly make an effort to call back if in Penrith

Centrally located for train station and town centre. Friendly lively bar run by the owner Tony although no choice of real ale. Hotel very clean but could do with a little freshen up in a couple of places. Breakfast very good quality. Would stay here again without a doubt.

Visited end of April for family meal, there was a reasonable selection of draught and bottle beers reasonably priced. The food was very good pub fare, I had the garlic mushrooms served with garlic bread for starter, these were very tasty although I think the sauce could have been a bit thicker. I opted for rump steak as did my partner, my steak was medium rare and cooked perfectly, the wife likes hers medium/well and unfortunately this was cooked well done however there was no complaint, both dishes were accompanied by 'proper' chips, mine with salad and wifes with vegetables that were cooked fresh. The staff were very helpful and could not do enough for you there were 25 in our party who dined on a variety of dishes and I never heard one complaint. I will be returning to Penrith and will visit the Station if only to hear the craik from the owner/manageress who was very bubbly (gobby) and made sure everything ran smoothly, just as a Geordie would do,

A great family run hotel and restaurant. Basic but clean and the in room hot drinks are plentiful. Had a room overlooking the castle which was lovely. Be prepared for old fashioned furniture but that is part of the charm. We ate in the bar too and the food was excellent. This hotel is right next to the train station so very accessible. The only thing that let's it down is lack of parking, we took our chances in a private car park close by for a business as it was a Saturday night.
