The lodge is on a very busy main road so can be noisy at times but I had a room at the back and was quiet. I enjoyed my stay very much and will stay here again the next time I am in Carlisle.

Inexpensive place to stay.

This hotel is OK and I would choose to stay here again. It was clean, warm and felt safe. It's not a brand new out-of-the-box chain hotel so don't expect that. On the other hand the staff were helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was good and nice for it to be included in the price.

My single room was clean and tidy. Could do with a better carpet and repair is needed to sliding shower room door. But it was very adequate - nice tea and biscuits supplied in room. Breakfast was excellent - just too much!!
