The hotel was perfectly located in the heart of Carlisle, making it easy to explore the town centre. There was plenty to see, both in terms of history; castle, cathedral, and ancient Roman structures also the many social attractions.

Quiet city consideringit is a University City. Lots if shopping areas but like many high streets many empty premises. The indoor covered market is virtually non exisitant which is a shame. Parking is reaonable and the Cathedral is well worth visiting.

The older area of the city around the cathedral and castle is the most interesting and easy to explore on foot. The area includes the Tullie museum. The town centre shopping area is a disappointment with only one good coffee place.

I knew nothing of Carlisle prior to my visit and we didn't have long to look round but my main feeling was to wonder why nobody's mentioned how lovely it is. It has some stunning historical buildings to see and the city had a nice vibe. It's also really conveniently located for the Lake District and has rail links directly to it. My husband and I have promised each other a longer trip back.

Pedestrian Plaza under construction - when finished will be an asset. Variety of shops, some in covered markets - weather protection for travellers. Visited Cathedral and Cafe - both worthwhile . Overnight stay on route to Penrith for Family History research - Library staff very helpful.

Very clean and recently modernised hotel. Nice ambience and relaxing. The room was spotless and the bed very comfortable. It’s a 20 minute east walk to the town centre with free parking on site. We ate dinner at the hotel and enjoyed it very much- good quality hotel prepared and cooked and a couple of drinks. The breakfast area is lovely, the breakfast food is of a high standard and the staff and service was top class. I hope to be able to visit Carlisle again and stay at the Cumbria Park Hotel.

Lovely 2 night stay in the gorgeous Willowbeck Lodge. The staff were friendly and helpful and we were warmly welcomed each time we used the hotel's facilities. Food was fresh and of a superb standard, both breakfast and evening meal. Attention to every detail can be seen and the housekeeping staff are doing a great job, the lodge was spotless. Location ideal for both a day out in Carlisle and to jump back on the motorway. A little gem.... not to be missed. We will be back.

Great location in centre, not too far from station. Parking on site. Beautiful building and decor in public areas. My single deluxe room had small double bed, nice bathroom, clean. Good breakfast, great value especially if booked the day before to make it cheaper. I'd say it was the nicest Hotel in Carlisle Town.

Hotel in the heart of Carlisle (right across from the train station) for a great price and with free parking. Rooms are basic but had everything I needed for a one night stay on my way through. You can easily walk to most of Carlisle's main attractions including the castle and cathedral.
