Edenhall Country Hotel, Penrith, Cumbria
Edenhall Country Hotel is a picturesque country hotel located in the idyllic village of Edenhall. It’s pretty, quaint exterior hides a few secrets – several ghosts that have a habit of appearing in mirrors.
Description
Out of the several ghosts that call Edenhall Country Hotel their home, one is seen particularly often by guests and staff alike – a female ghost who tends to stay in room 25 (now room 4). She has been seen sitting at the bottom of the bed in the room, and in the mirror in the bathroom when guests are using the bathtub.
The hotel used to have lots of mirrors above the bar – but after many complaints from both guests and staff of spooky apparitions in the mirrors, they were taken down. This doesn’t mean that the ghosts have gone away, however – an old woman is still regularly seen going to the chair in the corner of the bar to sit down and watch all the activity.

Brief History
Edenhall Country Hotel used to be known as Woodbine Cottage, and parts of the hotel date back to the 17th century – which is perhaps why it is home to so many ghosts. Much of Edenhall village was built around Eden Hall, an old manor house that was demolished in 1934, though you can still see the entrance lodge at the head of the village.
