Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Foundry 34 is appreciated for its central location in Penrith, convenient to shops, amenities, and the bus station right opposite, with the train station a short walk away. The rooms are generally considered clean, modern, and well-appointed, including tea/coffee making facilities, and a TV with Freeview. Guests enjoyed a good choice of breakfast including a full English, and some found the evening meal in the bar exceptional, especially the Gluten Free options; though some guests felt the deluxe rooms weren't much different from regular rooms. The hotel is a great base for exploring the Lake District, North Pennines, and Yorkshire Dales National Park.
