Find Houseboats in Cumbria

"Extremely impressed with the Duke of Edinburgh Very clean, comfortable and peaceful The gentleman on reception was very kind when I asked for a quiet room, as had to be up early for work so needed a solid nights sleep Could not fault it in any way Very good value too ! Highly recommend "

"We've stayed here several times over the years and we love the place. Stayed here this time to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary and again wasn't disappointed. Staff are all friendly and attentive especially front of house and in particular Patrick friendly, professional and full of advice and tips. Greeted at reception with complimentary glass of prosecco and a card in the room wish us a Happy Anniversary. Room was large and with a wonderful view of the lake. We had already booked an outside restaurant for dinner although the Asian fusion restaurant looks amazing so we'll try that next time we stay. For a small fee, we were chauffeur driven to our restaurant in Windemere in the new Bentley which was made the occasion much more special. Can't fault the hotel, staff and service here. Highly recommended. "

"The staff were especially amazing and helped us with many questions. We loved the facilities and the location. It was very walkable to the train station and into Penrith. The restaurant has a great menu and good selection of wines. "

"Although I only stayed here for one night I will definitely be back. It left quite an impression and is just the right side of posh and very reasonable in terms of price per night, with free access to the pool. We had a twin room on the front of the hotel's main building overlooking the main shopping drag in Carlisle, and although it was a Monday night we expected it to still be slightly noisy, however, we didn't hear a peep the entire night. It was perfectly quiet outside and in the hotel except for a few guests the following morning banging doors which is of no fault of the hotel itself. The internet was surprisingly quick for it being complimentary - a massive improvement on the internet at premier inn. My only real complaint was that the usb slot to charge items on the bedside table did not work, therefore, I had to plug the item in way across the room at a plug that worked. This didn't really matter at that time, however, I watch shows and read on my tablet in bed and if it had had a low battery and needed charging I would've been very annoyed that I wouldn't be able to charge it as I lay in bed. We enjoyed sitting in the lounge downstairs so much that we spent most of the following day there drinking pots of tea from the cafe after checking out and before heading home. Peaceful, clean and ideal location for anyone staying in Carlisle. If you don't mind foregoing modern furnishings then give this hotel a go. It will be my first choice whenever I stay in Carlisle."
