Nupath, hotel in Carlisle

Located 30 km from Thirlwall Castle, 36 km from Brougham Castle and 42 km from Whinfell Forest, Nupath provides accommodation set in Carlisle.

NOTE…. Some of this review we are unable to complete due to the fact we had been double booked so therefore the manager eventually after a lot of waiting around for an hour got us in a hotel up the road for a fairly similar price, to be fair although we never met the owner she did seem genuinely sorry and did rectify the situation although someone who the landlady had sent was looking around the building for half a hour for the keys until I explained that we had places to go and we could not keep hanging around like this as it was heading towards 9pm How you double book a room with only three rooms is beyond me but as I said earlier in review the owner said sorry and I believe this is a genuine mistake and she did put it right. It was central and location was adequate for local attractions, parking available, the manager/owner cam across as very pleasant and helpful

    My boyfriend and I had a great couple of days here. Excellent facilities, great hosts, house clean and cosy. Hot tub was brilliant. Loved going down to see the owls and birds of prey. The location was good too, not too far out of the way but not in a busy place either. We'd definitely come again. We had a little breakage with a glass and the hosts were very courteous

    Fantastic hidden gem of a hotel. A little out of the way but worth the short detour. Old and interesting hotel with and huge comfortable room for our family with two adult "children". Friendly and helpful staff and locals, great meal in the bar and breakfast was perfect also. Highly recommended.
