Abbey Court Guest House

Carlisle

All units at the guest house are fitted with a seating area and a flat-screen TV. With a private bathroom fitted with a walk-in shower and a hair dryer, units at the guest house also boast free WiFi, while certain rooms have a patio. At the guest house, every unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. The location is only a 7-minute walk from the train station, the perfect place for a stop over. I was given such a lovely warm welcome. I found my room had everything I needed from a cold bottle of water in the fridge to a very comfortable bed. The room had modern functional decor, and a lot of thought had gone into the layout. I could relax and do a little work in the comfort of my room. The shower was spacious and greatly welcome after my train ride from Glasgow. What impressed me was how neat and prestine the room looked; it was immaculately clean. I knew someone had put love and care into this room to please their guests. Thank you. The evening was quite and pleasant. I enjoyed the full English breakfast, which gave me energy to face my next train ride the next day. I found every staff member thoughtful and friendly. It was a good experience. I highly recommend this B&B, and I will be back.

Located in a perfect location within walking distance of a number of eating establishments Breakfast and staff were extremely helpful. Had a room on the top floor with a vertical spiral staircase. Ask for this room. Provided parking which was also a plus. The rate should have been higher as one could not ask for more. Would have paid more without a second thought.
