The Old School – Guest House Accommodation nr Penrith
“The Old School was built in 1866 and remained a school until 1963. It has now been converted into guest accommodation with three ensuite rooms, 1 Single, 1 Queen Double and 1 Super-King Double/Twin”. We are situated in the unspoilt tranquil village of Newbiggin just 4 miles from Penrith, 3/4 of a mile off the A66 trans-pennine route and 2 ¾ miles from junction 40 on the M6, useful for a stopover to and from Scotland.
But if you wish to stay in the Lake District. We are only 4 miles from Lake Ullswater, and within easy reach of Keswick and surrounding lakes and hills. We are also on the doorstep of “John Peel country”. So if you wish to stay you will be assured of a good welcome to our unique Cumbrian home.
The house is fully carpeted and centrally heated. We have a library of books and games which you can enjoy while you visit. There is a guest dining room that can be used to play cards, chess dominoes, or just read, when not serving meals. In the summer, seating is provided on the paved terrace in the garden to enjoy. We can serve tea or coffee if desired.
