Absolutely gorgeous apartment in the middle of town. Equipped with absolutely everything you need....including coffee maker...important!! No parking but cheap carpark a few minutes walk away. Super big, comfortable bed and lovely bathroom. Everything is immaculately clean. Easy to access. Lovely touch of a Christmas tree and chocs and little bottle of fizz. Will definitely return when visiting Carlisle. Host went out their way to try help when we had to change dates and also when I forgot something.

Fabulous place to stay! Very well presented and great location!! Couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay. The log burner was a lovely addition, and having the option of both a bath and a full shower was great. Definitely would book again. Excellent location for our family. A stone's throw away from many attractions and amenities. And the hosts were lovely. Can't wait to go back!
