Stayed many times
Since the new Asian owner’s took over the accommodation has improved 200% Only downside was being called Jo which I hate as that’s masculine when my first name is Joanne which is female . On the whole the property is non binary and LGBTQI+ friendly and opposite an Asda if you need any snacks

For a fantastic stay in Carlisle, look no further than Arkale Lodge! This charming guest house deserves all 5 stars and more. Here's why: Spotless and Comfy: The rooms at Arkale Lodge were impeccably clean and very comfortable. They had a relaxing atmosphere that made it easy to unwind after a day of exploring Carlisle. Warm Hospitality: The hosts at Arkale Lodge were some of the friendliest I've encountered. They were welcoming and attentive to our needs, making us feel right at home. Delicious Breakfast: The Full English breakfast was a true highlight. It was hearty, delicious, and perfectly fueled us up for our day of sightseeing. Great Value: Arkale Lodge offered excellent value for money. The comfortable accommodations, delicious breakfast, and friendly service made it a fantastic deal. Convenient Location: The location was excellent. The lodge was close to many pubs with great food options nearby, and within walking distance of Carlisle's attractions. Overall, Arkale Lodge provided a fantastic experience. From the spotless rooms and delicious breakfast to the warm hospitality and convenient location, everything was top-notch. I highly recommend this guest house to anyone visiting Carlisle!

Parking is not onsite, it's down the road in a publicly accessible car park, with CCTV. WiFi is extremely poor to being unusable. Thats the general points that would be considered negative. We had ensuite rooms, but one didn't have a toilet in the room. I'd consider that essential to be called ensuite. On the positives, the owners are very welcoming and helpful. Also, breakfast is good, nice ingredients and generous. It's within walking distance of the town centre. The neutral points are the beds are ok, not the comfiest, not the worse. Also, the rooms are basic and functional.

The room was very clean. The proprietor was extremely kind and helpful. He even helped carry the luggage upstairs. The breakfast provided in the morning was excellent! Ham, sausage, black pudding, eggs baked tomato, beans and toast all freshly cooked to order! There was also a coffee machine for lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos etc. for those with a smaller appetite you could also choose cereal or other items. The room had coffee and tea and some cookies. There are several pubs and take away restaurants within a few blocks. And for those of us who like face cloths in the bathroom, those were there also. Great little place to stay!
