The Gables Hotel

The Gables Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Considering that this hotel has only been open 3 weeks the staff have done an excellent job. A few shortcomings that we were told would be corrected within the next 7-10 days (Limited draught beer and no breakfast option to name but 2) did not distract from service provided. Large room with a jacuzzi bath and awesome view of the grounds. Exceptional staff, nice bar and restaurant area (the steak pie is a must try), lovely gardens and close to the motorway for your overnight stop. Will we stop here again...... in a heartbeat"

Crown and Mitre Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Great location at the heart of Carlisle and close to cathedral and castle, perfect for sightseeing. Lovely to stay in a historic hotel that’s beautifully maintained and looked after. Gorgeous high ceilings, stained glass, marble and wood panelling, so much better than modern hotels where everything is plastic. Perfect for a weekend break."
