We were getting an early train from Carlisle and wanted to stay close to the station the night before. This hotel is literally across the road. We had a double bed with extra single bed room for 3 of us at a total of £42. Overall the hotel is a bit dated, but beds were comfy and it was handy for plenty of restaurants and bars the night before. Breakfast started at 7am after we left, so I can't comment on it. But there was a Costa across the road which opens at 6am. Staff on check in and check out we're lovely and friendly. We had a great night's sleep and were ready for the journey the next day. Would absolutely stay here again Great value for what we paid.
