It was lovely but I picked based on Orbitz location search and in truth it was not well placed for what I needed. Is a bit tucked away- which is lovely but not what I needed.

Lovely hotel with gorgeous surroundings, lush breakfast views and plentiful food options including vegan. Wished we'd had time to dine for dinner as such a pretty dining area and location. Lovely spacious, comfortable and luxurious room! Bathroom could be updated a little but was fine and spacious, hot water took a while to heat up and fluctuated a bit. Only slight complaint was that the 2nd morning there was some gentle pop on at breakfast (Ed Sheeran and the like) but it had quite a beaty bass and as our room was just above the dining area we were woken up from 0730ish to the noise of the bass which confused us as it came through the floor as though we'd woken up above a club! So would recommend the alternative tranquil bossa nova-ey music at breakfast which we had the first morning which was lovely and made us feel like we were back on holiday abroad! Otherwise the location was so quiet and tranquil :) We didn't bring our EV but looked like there were chargers too.

Travel back from Scotland
The hotel is very clean and tidy, everything is as new and a high standard (e.g. new carpets, no dust or tired décor like the large chain hotels) . Bathroom clean modern, functional. Bed mattress was lovely and soft. Host was extremely welcoming and polite. Food was excellent. Not just a great stop-over during travels, but a hotel that I would come back to for a holiday also. Very convenient for M6 travels and north Cumbria holidays.

Comfortable, warm, very welcoming. Superb bed. Well heated room with thermostat control so I could adjust it to my liking. Really clean, large shower. Lots of books to read. Excellent, extremely tasty breakfast. And the design of the property produces a wonderful dining area with fantastic views over the garden.

Great stay
We stayed for one night on the way home from Scotland. We were welcomed and checked in by a friendly lad, who showed us to our lovely room (the willow room), which is very spacious and has a really comfortable bed. The bathroom is huge too, with a separate bath and shower, and some lovely toiletries. We ate in the restaurant in the evening, very good quality food and service. The owner was friendly and made sure that we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend.

It was some time since I last visited Carlisle and I was pleased when the staff provided useful information which helped me focus on places to visit during my short stay. Willow Lodge has a quiet rural setting but with easy access to the City and the M6 moterway. The rooms are clean, comfortable and maintained to a very high standard.

I’m not normally a fan of B&Bs, but this property is excellent. This B&B is located in a very quiet, rural location with lots of chirping birds, trees and a small pond. It is a 10 minute drive back to the City Center, where there is a train station, historic sites & pubs. The owners are very nice, helpful and not nosey/intrusive (one of the reasons I don’t like B&Bs). Our room (Willow Room) was very large with a huge bathroom and separate soaking tub. Breakfast is available in the morning. We wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely return.
