    Everything about the place was lovely - the location was idyllic and quiet (but close to amenities), the hut was absolutely spotless and comfortable and it had everything you needed for a short and pleasant stay. The bed was super comfy with plenty of storage underneath and it was decorated beautifully. The outside space was generous and great for our dog to run around. You didn't feel close to the other hut at all so it was super private.

    Alison is a great host; warm, welcoming and very helpful. The room was warm and clean, the bed was comfortable and it was quiet at night. There were a number of breakfast options, and the food was of a good quality and well cooked. The location is excellent, with a private parking area at the rear of the property. I could walk into the town centre in a few minutes and it was ideally suited to visit Potfest. The accommodation is very good value for the prices, and No 3 will be my first choice on future visits to Penrith.
