From the moment we entered Penarwel, we left our cares behind. From the birds chirping, the sound of the river and the peaceful surroundings, it was just perfect. The home really felt like "home". Impeccably clean and so well decorated. I could move right in. The beds were extremely comfortable, which is so important to our family. The convenience of the washer and dryer was nice as well. The kitchen was well equipped, and we cooked breakfast in one day. We enjoyed the town of Rathdrum for dinner - Bates Restaurant and Jacobs Well were both excellent. We hiked the White Trail at Glendaloch. Highly recommend. It's about a 5 hour hike from start to finish. Our son fished at the Annamoe Trout Fishery - for anyone who is looking to fly fish, this is a great place. We loved our lunch at Lynams of Laragh (say hi to Mary!) - and also had lunch at the Heathers, just a short drive from Glendaloch. I wish we had a couple more days in the area, as I would have loved to just spend a full day in the house, reading, relaxing, playing cards. I highly recommend Penarwel. David was a wonderful host.
