A good stay.

I enjoyed our 1 night stay made all the better by Ishwar the host. Really nice man. Even got in the car to direct me to his car park after I got confused by directions. It's 2 mins away behind buildings over the road. About half a mile, flat walk to station and town centre but £1.80 on one of the many buses that stop outside. Fantastic breakfast with cereals if you wish, juice/tea and full English.

Lovely stay

Brilliant service from Ishwar and Sabita, true care and consideration for an octogenarian guest. Great breakfast menu - cooked to perfection. However, stairs no lift and parking circa 100m in private shared carpark. Not at the pub next door which is only available for pub dining.

Parking a big issue for us. There is no onsite parking, okay no worries but the pub nextdoor to Arkale somehow issued us with TWO parking tickets for loading and unloading our bags. Enterprise rental company is charging us for this 70 pounds! Almost as much as the Arkdale cost. The owner and staff seem nice but this is unacceptable. Instructions about how to park must be given before arrival. I sent an email to Arkdale about tickets but no response….

Over-night lodge in Carisle

The listing said parking available but no parking nearby and told to use residents' parking. I parked at a nearby restraurant by arrangement with that restraurant when I was having dinner. Very small shower room with the smallest hand basin. Cold breakfast plate but otherwise a very good breakfast, Overall, the pleasant staff made for a fairly enjoyable pvernight stay

Liked: Amenities
The owner was helpful and friendly. Breakfast was superior. Our room was clean and spacious enough. We were disappointed with the parking as that was a major reason for booking here. The parking is a block away and there is no place to unload at the lodge so you have to haul luggage from a block away.
