Cumbria Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Fabulous hotel with good rooms. The breakfast is fabulous - amazing choice of breakfast items. We had two evening meals at the hotel and these were great and good value. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Large car park round the back of the hotel which even boasts some of the wall from the fort on Hadrian's wall. Also there is a section of the wall in the hotel reception. We will definitely stay here again when we next visit Carlisle."

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good
"Staff were amazing, hotel was very old though. Just the 1 small lift. Gutters were overflowing when it rained. But location is class. Car parking is a massive issue however that’s not really the hotel fault but Just one to be aware of, although the hotels answer to the parking issue is to charge you £25 to use their car park but even that gets full by 1100. So plan ahead for parking. Breakfast is nice. Overall a good stay with amazing staff but just a very aging hotel with signs money has dried up."

"Staff was excellent. Breakfast was good. The rooms are dated. We had the room with 3 single beds in it. Two were comfortable and one was too soft. No sheets to cover with only a comforter. No AC!!! Only a small fan.The room was kind of stuffy."

Lake District Castle Inn hotel & Spa

Lake District Castle Inn hotel & Spa

8/10 Good
"Amazing staff, great location and parking The food is average and the menu is very limited, the room (19) has been updated recently but was right by the the main road and a noisy extract fan on the floor below which came on at 4.15am every morning. Overall it’s a nice big hotel that has been in the process of renovation for the last few years. It would be a much better experience if they could expand the menu and quality of the food."
