Carlisle hotellia

Plussat: Warm welcome upon arrival. Parked right outside the property. Massive bedroom with everything as stated in description. Lovely and clean with a comfortable bed. WiFi excellent. A very quiet, uninterrupted sleep and a good breakfast in the morning. Could not fault any part of my stay. I will stay here again when next up in business.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very comfortable and clean room. Lovely breakfast with plenty of choice. Very friendly staff. I will be looking for an excuse to go to Carlisle again.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Host was really friendly and helpful brilliant location nice and quiet and close enough to walk into town

Miinukset: Bit quiet at breakfast maybe a radio or music on low would help

Plussat: I stay there often, it’s always excellent!

Plussat: Really easy to find from the M6. Clean, comfortable and welcoming. Lovely restaurants within walking distance. Less than 10 minutes walk into Carlisle centre where there are numerous gin and cocktail bars, some with live music. Would highly recommend.

Miinukset: Not applicable.

Plussat: The room was very cosy, had good tea /coffee facilities and it was quiet. The shower was good also nice and hot and good water pressure. We would definitely stay again.

Plussat: This B&B was so lovely. Clean and cosy. Karen was brilliant, so friendly and helpful. The room was lovely and clean, and breakfast was great. This was located within walking distance of the center of town which was ideal.

Plussat: Bed very comfy and car on went above and beyond to make us welcome.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Very clean Friendly staff

Miinukset: Just needed more options for vegetarians dishes

Plussat: The location, property/rooms were stunning, very clean and modern. We stopped here one night on our way up from the east midlands to Glasgow, the owner was very welcoming when we first arrived and shown us to our room. A car is needed to travel anywhere but that wasnt a problem for us.

Miinukset: Food - stated a full English breakfast would be served in the morning. We went for breakfast at 8.30am and before we sat down the abrupt lady behind the counter said help your selfs here first then go sit down. Asked if we wanted tea/coffee ect and felt very rushed. She then said "Now its just a full English for breakfast" to which my partner said oh sorry is it ok if i could have no mushrooms or tomatos please and very sarcasticly got a reply of well what do you want then?! I felt the tension and i said he'll have just meat, toast,egg, no vegetables (typical man ay) When it arrived the 1 slice of toast you got each was cold, and my partner got 2 small slices of very over cooked bacon, a fried egg and 2 very small thin sausages. No hash browns, beans, nothing. I had just the standard breakfast and again mine, 2 rock hard bacon, 1 tiny sausage, an egg, 1 half grilled tomato and some mushroom which i didnt eat as i dont like them however felt too gulity to say after the way she acted earlier on when my partners asked for no mushrooms ect. Clearly our "Full English" has a different meaning down here than to up there. It was ok -

Plussat: Lovely place with very friendly staff. Bed and room was comfortable and lovely and warm! Will definitely stay again if I am in the area.

Plussat: Very grateful to staff that when we arrived late, a pint of beer from the closed bar was offered.

Miinukset: I wish we had booked two nights instead of one

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Lovely place to stay, very friendly staff and a good breakfast.

Plussat: This is a beautiful property. Everything was pristine, just oozing with pride of ownership. Spacious rooms which included unique details and fabulous views to wake up to. We only wish we could have stayed longer, in fact, it was really hard for us to leave. Breakfast was delicious, a full English with fresh ingredients and a wonderful presentation. Everyone made us feel welcome. This is definitely on our list for a return stay. Thank you so much, most appreciated.

Plussat: The staff were very friendly and welcoming even though we arrived quite late still showed us in! The accommodation was huge wasn't expecting an upstairs too!!! The breakfast was really good! Everything you needed in the kitchen!

Plussat: location, breakfast great, views lovely driving around the lanes enjoyable, nice and quiet. Staff very friendly and obviously care about you.

Miinukset: not really clear where to book in, several doors, a reception with bell/buzzer would help, can take a while to track down owner as they maybe working - watched the same happen to other arrivals.

Plussat: Beautiful, upgraded to a cottage on arrival, food was delicious, and the staff extremely helpful.

Miinukset: There is nothing that we didn't like. the whole stay was excellent value for money and the whole atmosphere was wonderful.

Plussat: It was night stay before a business visit to nearby town. It was a very comfort time staying in the hotel.

Plussat: We stayed here as a base for our wedding in Gretna Green and everybody was so friendly and couldnt do enough to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Fantastic location to get away from it all. Meals were great too.

Plussat: The overall cleanliness of the Guesthouse and the food...well, it was one of the best meals I have ever had. The freindly staff made our stay extra relaxing and the local knowledge and advise given made our walking the area great. 10 out of 10 to Jack and Margaret...we will return to them in the future.

Plussat: Jack and the others succeed in making their guests feel at home. Our visit to Bessiestown felt like meeting old friends - though we had never been there before. The atmosphere is so friendly and relaxed.

Miinukset: In fact out visit to Bassiestown left nothing to be desired. For Dutch visitors: zeer zeker een aanrader!

Plussat: Convenient overnight stop off, very friendly owners, lovely place, would like to go back

Miinukset:

Plussat: This b & b was just great! The room was super! It had an upstairs sitting area as well with tv, couch, chairs, dining area and kitchen. The owners were super friendly and helpful and the morning breakfast was sensational!

Miinukset: There were no directions on the print-out on how to reach this place. We had to get directions from the local police. We mentioned this to the owner and he will, no doubt, correct this.

Plussat: the service was fantastic and the evening meal was fantastic. a great allround stay

Plussat: The rooms are so lovely decorated! The bed is very comfy and the little complimentary items in the fridge was such a lovely touch

Plussat: Great location, lovely land lady, awesome breakfast, free parking right next to it.

Miinukset: Nothing all was great

Plussat: This property had the beautiful original features of an old Georgian town house but the feel of a modern family home.

Miinukset: There wuz nothing I didn’t like bout this property

Plussat: Location and the pub food menu was good

Plussat: The pub and the staff-brilliant. Comfortable and welcoming and nothing too much trouble. The food-excellent. Everything seemed like the very best quality and plenty of it and I’m a harsh critic. The best eggs benedict that I’ve ever had and the nicest blue cheese in the cheese board too. Lovely coffee.

Miinukset: There was a piece of rubbish left in the room by a former guest. When the bed was remade for the second night, it would have been nice to have clean cups too.

Plussat: Room was clean w8th plenty of space and had a Samsung TV. Plus tea and coffee were available.

Miinukset: The bathroom was really old. There was a small nosiy heater on the wall. As it is a old building central heating was not available in the room There was a small electric radiator.

Plussat: Nice old townhouse which despite its location near a three way junction controlled by traffic lights was remarkably quiet. Breakfast was good especially the mushrooms which were cooked to perfection. Easy access to Carlisle centre.

Miinukset: Some means of making sure no street lighting was able to leak into the room at night.

Plussat: The breakfast was good . We were going to a Party in Wetheral, so the location was ideal , 5 minutes walk.

Miinukset: Everything met our expectations. We have stayed several times before.

Plussat: Freshly served cooked breakfast.

Plussat: Traditional style hotel and service, the sat afternoon have worked there for a long time and therefore care that the guests are being looked after. Very quiet location.

Plussat: I liked the room ,nice and cozy

Plussat: The staff were extremely helpful and friendly The spa facilities are lovely- bright clean and spacious with helpful staff.

Miinukset: Breakfast was poor. There was a large party in and not enough staff meaning empty dishes on the hot buffet not refilled Our bedroom door would not lock which meant that we had to leave our case etc. unsecured and the shower was just an annoying trickle of water.

Plussat: Loved coming back to my home village and a hotel that I have been visiting for some 50 years! Have to say that the staff were totally excellent.

Miinukset: Noisy creaky floorboards in the room above us. VERY noisy guests getting back at half one and shouting, swearing, slamming doors etc. Didn’t like the reception reaction when my husband mentioned this the next day. Loads of doors banging on the Sunday night also.....again underwhelmed by reception reaction

Plussat: Superb location and friendly feel. Good beer

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: All of it

Miinukset: Nice appointed rooms

Plussat: Friendly and helpful staff. We was travelling with dog and we didn't had any problems to make a reservation. Our pupil was more than welcome like we did.

Plussat: Ibis Carlisle itself is fine we have stayed many times.

Miinukset: We were continually being awoken from 0230 to 0515 by drunken males returning to their rooms and then wandering to each others rooms. They were often being led to their rooms by Ibis staff who did not help to control the noise levels. I reported this on check out to be told that it's sometimes like that when the farmers are in! I was advised to ask for a quiet room in the future.

Plussat: Siisti ja ystävällinen

Plussat: Breakfast area was pleasant and staff welcoming and friendly.

Miinukset: I sort of worried that it was straight off the street and into a lift with having to use your door card - that would have felt much safer.

Plussat: City centre

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staff were amazing and really helpful

Miinukset: the break was to short

Plussat: Beds were very comfortable.Shower very good staff excellent very helpful with my walking difficulty

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: Car park lack of lighting. But the owners say it is on the agenda to be redone.

Plussat: Friendly helpful staff, clean and well-fitted room

Plussat: Very friendly, clean and comfortable, excellent breakfast. Can highly recommend especially if you are looking for dog friendly accomodation

Miinukset: No compaints

Plussat: Lorna, the landlady, was very welcoming, helpful and friendly. The location was convenient for the motorway, yet quiet enough to enjoy the surrounding countryside with a nice walk on the doorstep for us to exercise our dog. Having our pet with us is an important factor when booking accommodation, but even so the rooms were lovely and clean with everything we needed. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the cooked breakfasts were superb. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will certainly return and would highly recommend.

Miinukset: Nothing really, except maybe some lighting in the car park for security.

Plussat: My little dog was allowed in the dining room. The hotel was very accommodating to him and even gave him a sausage for breakfast.

Miinukset: The mirror in the bathroom was a bit low.

Plussat: The hotel was very clean and tidy, the swimming pool and jacuzzi was brilliant

Miinukset: The staff were very friendly, the private parking was good

Plussat: excellent location, friendly staff, everything good, Place a bit dated but fine - if you want 100% go pay £200 plus a night

Miinukset: Decor and Lift a bit tired - but as stated Very Good

Plussat: Fabulous big comfy bed. Excellent location. Breakfast very good

Miinukset: Windows a little draught but building old.

Plussat: I'm not prone to negative reviews--but felt compelled to write this one. The staff is terrific--but otherwise this is a vaguely dirty, slightly gross, mediocre hotel. Breakfast was badly done and in a large ballroom with dozens of pensioners on holiday. The room was badly stained, unkempt, with one of the worst beds I've encountered in over a million miles of traveling. Avoid if possible.

Plussat: Breakfast was good and warm. Reception staff were lovely

Miinukset: Noisy hotel and the lock was stiff on our floor. Hotel needed updating but a lovely building t

Plussat: Comfortable room. Good location-10 mins. walk from railway station. Plenty of tasty stuff for breakfast.

Miinukset: The duvet could`ve been a bit bigger but as the room was warm enough it didn`t really make much difference.

Plussat: Really impressed .. good position great facilities.. pool etc... lovely staff

Miinukset: All was excellent

Plussat: Lovely large bed

Plussat: Excellent Location with wonderful views at Breakfast.

Miinukset: No Evening meal

Plussat: Waking up and looking out onto the river! Was relaxing and informal and friendly

Plussat: Lovely spacious room , staff were friendly and welcoming .

Miinukset: Property is a bit out the way and doors get locked at 10.45 which was not noted anywhere when we booked and no phone in room so wasn’t keen on being locked in . Also had to enquire twice about this as we had a night out planned on the Saturday - you don’t really book a hotel to then have to ask if you can come in late , found that very strange

Plussat: The breakfast was ok.

Plussat: Rooms were lovely. Views across the river were incredible.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: A good choice, well cooked and presented.

Plussat: Walks and view at breeky

Plussat: The overall stately experience and the service were outstanding.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Beautiful setting,very friendly and great for a short break

Plussat: Great staff. Very reasonable cost. An old fashioned straightforward hotel.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: the food is absolutely awesome, the staff were happy to do different choices from the menu if it didn't suit. every single member of staff was kind, helpful and happy :)

Miinukset: it's an older hotel and it is slightly shabby decor wise.

Plussat: Great location, easy parking, warm room, evening meal and bar available. All in all, I was very impressed for the price.

Miinukset: wifi in the rooms. Not a big issue for me, though.

Plussat: We have been coming here for over 30 years and it's still brilliant

Plussat: Usual. High standards

Plussat: Bargain of the year. Great staff and warm, comfortable room - great to have a hot shower before 6 in the morning! Good breakfast and pub-style food in the bar. All in, really welcoming staff make this a must repeat visit.

Miinukset: This is a big building and perhaps the paintwork could be retouched as a rolling programme.

Plussat: Staff friendly and welcoming. Room was very spacious and good value for money.

Miinukset: Decor a bit dated in places.

Plussat: Hyvä aamiainen. Bonusta paikan spamenneisyyteen liittyvät puita kasvava uima-allas ja rikkivesilähde alhaalla joen rannalla.

Miinukset: Kävelijälle kipuaminen ylös mäkeä kylästä pitkän päivän päätteeksi tuntui hieman haastavalta. Paikan päällä sijainti kuitenkin rauhallinen ja luonnonläheinen.

Plussat: Good breakfast

Miinukset: Bed was uncomfortable

Plussat: The room was amazing and best value

Miinukset: The in house restaurant didnt have much choice and felt it was for higher class people

Plussat: Clean rooms.

Miinukset: The Restaurant prices.

Plussat: Breakfast was what I expected, hotel was fine. I would use the hotel again.

Plussat: Always good value for money. Stayed on numerous occasions. Staff have always been good.

Miinukset: If possible always get a rear facing room. We stayed for the first time overlooking the main road....result no sleep. The bed didn’t help with springs pinging every time you turned over! Half the lights in the room didn’t work. So thinking twice about using again.

Plussat: The only thing we really liked was the building from the outside and the staff were very friendly.

Miinukset: The reception area looks to of been modernised but that’s where it seems to end. We checked in, went to our room and as soon as we opened the door we were pretty disappointed. We had booked a superior double, if it was a superior double that we had been given i wouldn’t of liked to see a basic one. I asked my hubby to go and shut the windows because the noise from the very busy road outside was so loud, to which he replied ‘they’re already shut!’ The room felt very dull and tired, there was some fairly nice wallpaper but that was about the only decent bit of the room. The carpet had a big rip in it, the bathroom was covered with mould on the silicone in the bath area, the walls were paper thin. Every time someone in one of the near by rooms went in or out of their room the sound of the doors banging was awful. We thought they may’ve just not been very careful about shutting it, but it was virtually impossible to shut them quietly. Needless to say, as soon as we could, we headed back out of the hotel and into town. We were going to a concert at the sands centre (which is around a 10min walk away, so dead handy) so we went into town got some tea and then a couple of drinks before the concert. We didn’t sleep well at all, although the road quietened down at night, it was still fairly busy. Other people going into their rooms and banging the doors woke us. The couple in the adjacent room to us had a huge argument at one point (I know that’s not the hotels fault but it was like they were in our room with us!) anytime someone above or next door to us went to the loo it sounded like they were in our room too. Breakfast was pretty average, the staff were very welcoming and really pleasant to talk to but the food wasn’t amazing.

Plussat: Very noisy,mainly plumbing I think

Miinukset: Could have been lots quieter

Plussat: Bar staff was helpful when I needed some ice

Miinukset: Quality of the room, very dated, room not clean or bathroom. Didn't say anything as the price was cheap

Plussat: The new room was nice for the price

Miinukset: To be move from the room, the room didn't have hot water no television working and toilet was broken

Plussat: My main reasons for choosing this hotel (for the third time in the last couple of months) are the excellent value and the fantastic leisure complex. The staff are nice, the place is quiet and comfortable, and I had everything I needed in my room.

Miinukset: I haven't taken breakfast there since my first stay, as I thought then it was quite poor. Horrible sausages .. Others have said the same. The decor in the dining room and bar areas is in serious need of attention. As I don't use them, it's had no bearing on my feedback here. Oh, and it's a bit of a hike out of town ..

Plussat: The staff worked hard to keep everyone happy

Miinukset: Not enough staff, you had to shout to whoever was on reception when you needed a drink as they were very short staffed.
