The North Lakes Hotel Penrith – The House of Daniel Thwaites

Located on the edge of Penrith, this 4-star hotel, with its open-air terrace and award-winning spa, is an ideal retreat after a day exploring the Lake District’s rugged landscapes, playing golf or taking part in the many activities Cumbria has to offer. North Lakes Hotel has the ambience, the food and the facilities to help guests unwind after a busy day.

The hotel’s rustic design is inspired by the Cumbrian countryside and reflects the rural heritage that makes the region so well known. This ‘country retreat’ feel extends to the Spa, which features exposed wooden beams, low lighting and comfy seating areas surrounding the 13-metre heated swimming pool.

North Lakes is home to FYR, Cumbria’s only open fire grill restaurant. At FYR, every cut of meat is aged for a minimum of 28 days and cooked to the diners’ exact specifications - right in front of them. Whilst the sizzling steaks are a speciality, the newly introduced Sunday Lunch is an experience not to be missed. Or for a special treat why not try the North Lakes Afternoon Tea, beautifully presented in true Cumbrian style. And not forgetting the selection of beers from Thwaites own micro-brewery and it’s wide selection of quality wines offering plenty of hidden gems.

At North Lakes there is something for everyone. What are you waiting for?
