Arrived late-ish on a Saturday night, which in retrospect was foolish. We didn't realize this was…read moresuch a "destination" so it was heaving when we arrived with our very young son. We didn't eat in the restaurant as it was so packed and I think our baby would of exploded from the noise, if it had just been us it would of been fine. Penrith is so small that there were takeout options very close so it was fine. Room and bathroom were nice if a bit impersonal; signage to tell you not to mess with the air con and to use the strings to open the curtains. Which I totally understand, they don't want to fix things , however the typed, laminated and then cello taped to the wall makes it loose it's charm a little. A welcome booklet with it detailed inside would of been much nicer. Breakfast options were a little limited but did the job. Staff were nice. All in all I feel there's a little too much hype because of a Gordon Ramsey connection.

It also's got a friendly atmosphere, isn't too expensive and is right by the station so I'd stop here if I had some time to kill before getting the train. The food's ok but maybe a bit pricey for what you get.
