A slightly quirky but lovely guesthouse ideally located for both the M6 and Carlisle city centre. Really comfy bed, and a delicious breakfast. I'd be happy to stay here again

Located just 47 km from Derwentwater, Newby Cross features accommodation in Carlisle with access to a garden, a shared lounge, as well as a shared kitchen.

The property was very spacious and had everything we needed. The shower was great. The bed was massive and very comfy. Annie made us feel very welcome as soon as we arrived, and by the time we left it was as though we were family🥰 The breakfast was very comprehensive and varied, so much choice. Annie even showed us the chickens and lambs and fed them. We will definitely return to Newby Cross.👍🏻

Situated just 49 km from Derwentwater, Crossroads House provides accommodation in Carlisle with access to a garden, a bar, as well as luggage storage space.

Breakfast was really good with quality sausages, bacon and black pudding (not just supermarket stuff!) The location is very convenient for the M6, but reasonably quiet at night.

    Beautiful guest house, really just lovely and welcoming. I had a night here when doing a long commute and it felt like a piece of home. It was comfy, well decorated and quiet and Leanne was an excellent host. Breakfast was generous and satisfying and I couldn’t be happier!

    What a great find. A proper B&B in all the right ways. A large city centre town house sympathetically laid out whilst retaining great features. Plenty of permit parking nearby. A great hostess and a fabulous breakfast offering. Thoroughly recommended.

    Quiet an peacefull stay just outside Carlisle city center. I really enjoyed the breakfast and the host was very kind to accomodate to my dietary requests. It's a great location for those walking along Hadrian's wall path.
