Wonderful

I checked in very late 11pm. I had rung ahead and I was met by Ishwar the owner with a friendly smile. He even asked if I had eaten?
A friendly place owned and managed by Ishwar and his wife Sabita.
This was my first stay but I will definitely look at staying there again.
The lodge is on a very busy main road so can be noisy at times but I had a room at the back and was quiet. I enjoyed my stay very much and will stay here again the next time I am in Carlisle.

Very welcoming hosts & a great brekkie the next morning (including a great veggie brekkie!). Comfortable but nothing fancy — and it didn’t need to be.

Welcome excellent and breakfast good. Area is very noisy
Greeted by the owner as we stepped through the front door, shown straight to our room which was immaculately clean then showed me were to park my car.
Overall he was extremely helpful told us of a restaurant to go for an evening meal which turned out to be very good, breakfast was excellent.
If I am passing that way again then I would definitely return.
A really helpful host,ideal location just off the city centre and clean and comfortable room
