The room was spacious but it's very close to the toilet we can hear the extractor fan. The squeaky noise floor whenever someone is walking but overall was good, receptionist are nice and welcoming. Great location.

We were getting an early train from Carlisle and wanted to stay close to the station the night before. This hotel is literally across the road. We had a double bed with extra single bed room for 3 of us at a total of £42.
Overall the hotel is a bit dated, but beds were comfy and it was handy for plenty of restaurants and bars the night before.
Breakfast started at 7am after we left, so I can't comment on it. But there was a Costa across the road which opens at 6am.
Staff on check in and check out we're lovely and friendly.
We had a great night's sleep and were ready for the journey the next day.
Would absolutely stay here again
Great value for what we paid.
It was difficult to find the hotel parking as we arrived at night, but OK once we got our bearings.
The hotel room is huge, but looking a bit tired. I loved that I could have a bath, as this facility is missing in so many hotels now!
Our room was on the street front so it was noisy from traffic, despite double glazing.
The beds were very comfortable though and there was a good supply of tea, coffee etc but no teaspoons!
What a lovely place to stay ❤️
Only a 5 minute walk from the train station very friendly
I stayed and took my dog the hotel staff were very helpful and friendly
My room was beautiful a massive bed which my dog enjoyed 😂
The breakfast was very nice
I can’t wait to go back and stay again
Thank you for having us x
Rooms were very clean. staff very helpfull and friendly.
Only downside was the floorboards very noisy especially at night.
But overall a great time away.
We didn’t sleep all
Night because of the windows and doors rattling all night. Have emailed the hotel twice since our stay on 13/12/25 and still no response. So unprofessional. We were booked into breakfast at 10am and when er went to breakfast there was us 3 and another party of 4. There were no fried eggs, scrambled eggs, beans and bread for toast. Unacceptable

Nice clean toom helpful staff, good breakfast.
Only issue is we had to pay £5 a day parking, this appears to be new. I feel that if you are staying at their hhotel parking should be free
The hotel generally is good and have stayed before with no problems, however the man on the front desk was less than interested, after I asked for assistance did not hear from him again even when I walked past the reception desk.
