The property is very convenient for M6 and there is free parking. We received a warm welcome from the owner. The little extras also made us feel very welcome and were appreciated, especially the fresh coffee and cafetière in our room. Our room was clean and the beds were comfortable. We will definitely try to stay here again on our next trip to Scotland.

I absolutely LOVED my overnight stay at Cartref! My room was so lovely- spacious, bright, airy, and spotlessly clean everywhere. The furniture in my room was all very tasteful, useful and modern; and the bed was super comfortable, with immaculately clean white bedding. Melanie (the owner) is so friendly, welcoming, and caring about her guests- this really shows in her great attention to detail in all areas of the property.
The en-suite bathroom was beautifully clean and stylish with excellent quality local toiletries, plenty of towels, an excellent shower and a gorgeously soft bathrobe and slippers. There was a mini fridge in the room, containing bottles of chilled water and fresh milk for a cuppa. Plenty of teabags, coffee and hot chocolate by the kettle, and even a cute little jar of marshmallows to add to the hot chocolate. My room had two smart comfy chairs and a little coffee table; as well as a handy dressing table. The lighting was all great, and there were plenty of places to plug in chargers, hairdryer etc.
There is a great breakfast menu to choose from, and it was really pleasant to sit in the pretty dining room the next morning. My breakfast was really tasty, and it was lovely to have a whole pot of tea served rather than just the usual cup with a teabag and a tiny pot of hot water!
I can't fault Cartref; it's a short walk from the train station/short walk into town and a lovely place to stay. I will definitely book to stay again next time I visit Carlisle!

The property was quirky and no personal check in was unusual but worked well. The standard of the room was excellent and very comfortable. The guest house is very close to the town centre, being only 10 minutes walk away. There is also a good dog walking area very close to the property by the river.

One of the best we’ve stayed in, very friendly staff, dog was welcome and room was very thoughtfully decorated, big mugs, fantastic shower and good layout. Only thing we didn’t like was the loo light coming on automatically, so in the middle of the night it shone into the bedroom.

Nice location! The host was friendly but be prepared to pay cash for your stay, we didn’t know this until we got there.

Really handy location for the town centre and far enough away where you can park without issue (permits provided by the host).
Had constant communication from our host regarding arrival, stay, parking & dining.
Can't fault at all, have recommended to others travelling down & will definitely be considered for future stays when we are in the area.

A very well-appointed guest house, about 15 minutes walk from the railway station. It is on a very busy road and crossing during peak hour can be a bit tricky.
Very friendly staff and great rooms, with plenty of inclusions.
We didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment on that.

Stayed in a triple room for my Daughters graduation. Warm welcome on arrival by Melanie. The room had everything in needed for a comfortable stay. The hot water bottle and foot spa were a welcome bonus. Room was a little cold as the heating only seemed to be on at certain times but it is November and its a big house. Would stay again if in the area.

I loved all the little prints and signs with pearls of wisdom on them both in my room and dotted around the public areas of the guesthouse.
And they really excelled themselves with their in-room tea and coffee making facilities and complimentary guest toiletries- they thought of everything and more besides.

I had a lovely stay at the Cartref Guest House. My room was immaculate and I loved all the small touches, for example; little jar of sweets by the bed, water in a carafe in the fridge and a goodie bag of toiletries. A comfortable bed, great shower and I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area. Thank you!
