The Pennington Hotel - A 16th-century estuary-front hotel with brasserie dining and proximity to Lake District hiking
Situated in the heart of Ravenglass, The Pennington Hotel is a 16th-century former coaching inn offering en suite bedrooms with beamed ceilings, flat-screen TVs, and bathrooms featuring power showers and luxury toiletries. Guests can dine at the brasserie-style restaurant, courtyard cafe, or licensed bar serving whiskey and wine selections, with English breakfasts available until 9:00 AM. The hotel provides free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, and a business center, while nearby attractions include Ravenglass Harbour, the Roman Bath-house (0.5 km), and the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway (0.5 km). Some rooms at The Pennington Hotel feature estuary views, and the surrounding area offers access to hiking trails in the Lake District National Park.
Pros
The 16th-century building retains historic charm with beamed ceilings and estuary-front location.
The brasserie-style restaurant serves locally sourced dishes, including a GBP 55 New Year's dinner option.
Proximity to hiking trails in the Lake District National Park and landmarks like Muncaster Castle (3 km).
Rooms include soundproof walls, tea/coffee facilities, and luxury toiletries.
Cons
Some rooms lack estuary views.
The nearest major city, Carlisle Lake District, is 100 km away.
“This hotel strikes me as a particularly good base for exploring Ravenglass, with the steam train and Roman bathhouse easily accessible. From what I gather, they have really attentive staff and the rooms seem well-suited for families, offering both comfort and a satisfying dining experience; I especially noted the provision for vegan diets. It seems a well-managed option for those prioritizing service and location.”
