"OK, stairs might not be an issue for you in which case you can ignore them, but if you have mobility problems then this is probably not the place for you. Knees that don't do stairs well groaned when faced with the long flight up to reception and went decidedly wobbly when faced with the climb to the rooms, which was steeper than one would encounter in a modern building. In my experience it's not difficult to find fault with the condition of old hotels, but the Corner House decor and appearance were flawless. The rooms, including the bathroom, were spotless and while the bath towels were a bit small, it would be churlish to hold that against them - they functioned as they should! Very comfortable, even a TV which was tuned in correctly with a working remote. The only odd thing was that the bedside tables were far too high to comfortably access when in bed and made it impossible to switch the tall bedside lamps on or off without getting up. Not sure why anyone would do that. They look good but function really should take precedence over form sometimes. The staff were friendly and helpful and attended to our need to cancel one night efficiently and without fuss. Breakfast was excellent. We're moving to the area so probably won't be stopping again but I wish we'd found this place earlier. Except for the stairs..."

"very large comfortable room, bathroom very dated but functional"

"Nice hotel, good location for Penrith town center. Only issue was reduced car parking on day off arrival due to car park being used as a car event"

"Lovely comfortable hotel. Very clean spacious room. Delicious breakfast. Free parking. "

"Special mention to receptionist to Kelly who was a superstar, after a little bit of stressful situation with car parking this was easily resolved when Kelly gave directions to myself on how to gain access to the car parking on site. Kelly is a assett to the company, please pass this onto her, thank you :) "

"Really enjoyed my stay and the new owners are an improvement on the previous people who owned the property Free upgrade to a fabulous room and friendly welcome and great breakfast "

"Stayed for one night, on our way back down from Scotland. Had a lovely time here, and wished we could have stayed longer. Arrived around 6pm, very easy parking and checking in to our room. Then had a lovely meal downstairs in the Penny Blue restaurant attached to the hotel. Food was served very quickly, and the staff were attentive. The room itself was excellent, very spacious with a comfortable bed. It did get a little warm in the night for our taste, but they had a fan available which helped. It’s an apartment hotel, so came with a very well kitted out kitchen. Great for self catering, but we chose the breakfast restaurant downstairs. They did us a nice poached egg breakfast. Perfect location to explore the town centre, cathedral and castle. We checked out at 11, and went to explore the town. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful, no problem applying the parking discounts later in the day. Note that the car park can get very busy, it was pretty much full when we loaded our suitcases at 11, and when we left a few hours later. "

"Great stay. Brilliant pool. Not far from Gretna. "

"Good value hotel for a night stop on a long journey."
