    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.
