The Pennington Hotel

The Pennington Hotel sits at the heart of Ravenglass, a family-run hideaway with estuary views and centuries of history. Extensively updated in recent years, it blends period character with modern comfort and a warm Cumbrian welcome.

There are 22 relaxing bedrooms with smart TVs and high-speed Wi-Fi, plus dog-friendly rooms and dining areas so four-legged guests can settle in too. The hotel is part of the wider Muncaster Castle Estate, making it a handy base for castle days out and western Lakes adventures.

Food and drink centre on the Estuary Bar & Grill, where menus champion seasonal, local produce with gluten-free and vegan options available on request. Think unfussy quality, from daytime bites to leisurely dinners.

Practical perks include free parking and on-site EV charging, and you’re in easy reach of coastline wanders, heritage rail fun, and big fell scenery.

AA-rated at 3 Star Gold, The Pennington pairs small-hotel friendliness with professional service, ideal for couples, families and business stays alike.
