Room fine, bit tired, breakfast nice, staff really friendly, car park tiny so don't expect a space. Evening on street parking nearby if you know where to look. There was a wedding reception in a ground floor reception room, the music could be heard clearly on floor 2, and continued until midnight, not conducive to a relaxing stay (hence, 3 ⭐). As we were in Carlisle to visit family we didn't need to be central, if you do its a great location. Sad to say I would think again before returning unless I want to be close to castle and cathedral.
