    A great compact city, good for a weekend break but also great as a base to explore this beautiful area. Train journeys along the Carlisle /Settle route, the Cumbrian coast route, over into Scotland and to Leeds Newcastle etc all easy.

    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.

    Oh, it's a hive of activity and we love it.

    Oh, it's a hive of activity and we love it. The Lanes shopping centre, right at the heart of Carlisle is a must for shoppers. It's great to see this in the city centre, where other towns and city planners have allowed the destruction of city centres by allowing out of town retail parks to cause shoppers to abandon the heart of these great places, Glasgow and Dumfries to name just two. The night life is also amazing with pubs to suit all styles and budgets and some are a real laugh. If you are into your history there's a castle right in the middle if the city centre too. The only issue in August 2025 I'd the roadworks and infrastructure improvements which have been going on for ages but I'm sure once complete it'll be a much easier city to drive in.

    Small but interesting cathedral.

    Small but interesting cathedral. The history display in the crypt v good. Tullie House very good. Dinosaurs, Romans and other things. Castle interesting. Friendly staff. But the castle itself could do with more info. Lots of empty rooms but no descriptions on the walls. Centuries of history deserve more explanation.

    We found the centre by the station very unattractive, noisy and difficult to drive through, particularly for disabled parking near to restaurants. Our hotel was a little out of town so it was very convenient to have a good Asian restaurant next door to it. There is a good pedestrianised shopping precinct and an excellent, large park by the river, with good facilities, attractive features and leading out into open fields.

    Great Apart/Hotel in the centre of Carlisle. Easy to find by car - the property does not have its own car park but park at the Halston Car Park which is behind the hotel (1 min walk) and also they will validate your parking and you get a 20% discount. Nice reception and bar areas. The room was spacious and very well decorated. Milk, Tea, Coffee, Water and Crumpets given. The room refreshed everyday. Easy walk to everything in central Carlisle. Bars, Restaurants, Cathedral, Castle, Museums....

    A beautiful house, ornately and stylishly decorated. The furnishings and fittings in my room were of an excellent standard. There was a wide choice of breakfast, served by a friendly and obliging hostess.. I have stayed at a number of hotels and guest houses in Carlisle, and Cornerways proved vastly superior to all of them. Excellent venue, excellent service, and at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended!
