4-star country guest house converted from a 1700s Lakeland Bank Barn in Penrith

Historic Barn Conversion

The Ginney Country Guest House is a 4-star accommodation set within a traditional Lakeland Bank Barn built in the 1700s. The building retains characterful oak beams and a historic architecture that distinguishes it from standard hotels. This conversion offers guests a rural retreat with direct access to the Lake District.

Accommodations & Self-Catering Cottages

Guests can choose from luxurious one-bedroom self-catering cottages or deluxe king rooms, each with a 40-inch wall-mounted smart TV with Freeview. All rooms include private bathrooms, garden views, and hypoallergenic options are available. The self-catering flexibility allows for independent stays while enjoying the property's spacious grounds and patios with rural views.

Wholesome Breakfast with Local Produce

A wholesome breakfast is prepared daily using locally sourced produce, with options including full English/Irish, vegetarian, and gluten-free choices. Guests select their preferences the evening before, ensuring fresh preparation each morning. The breakfast is served in a characterful dining area with warm dishes and local specialities.

Location

The guest house sits in a peaceful rural village, just 10 minutes from Ullswater Lake and the Lake District National Park. It provides easy access to hiking and cycling routes, and is a short drive from Brougham Castle and Derwentwater Lake. The M6 motorway is two minutes away, making it a convenient stopover while remaining quiet and secluded.

Amenities

Family rooms are available, and the property offers free parking with an electric vehicle charging station at a reasonable fee. Guests can use the sun terrace, outdoor furniture, and shared lounge area. Daily housekeeping, private check-in/check-out, and a safety deposit box are provided for convenience.

“My time at The Ginney Country Guest House left a distinct impression; the quiet countryside setting, just moments from Penrith and the Lakes, is a genuine advantage, and it's clear the hosts put considerable care into making each room feel comfortable and well-appointed. The breakfasts, I found, were a particularly satisfying start to the day, making it a place I'd certainly consider returning to.”
