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. ##### Francis Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Christopher Oct 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Well-appointed, friendly owners 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. ##### Christopher Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Georgia Apr 23, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good value but lacking in a few areas I booked the single room with shared bathroom - it was very affordable and the room was basic, so it was good value. However, it didn’t feel very clean - the window ledge was dirty with hairs and mould, and when I filled the mug for tea, there were several hairs floating on top :( the towel folded on the bed was also damp which wasn’t very reassuring. The check in process was okay, but it would've been nice to be shown to the room and bathroom as I was left to figure it out by myself. The hotel is quite noisy and I was disturbed whenever someone entered or exited, or had a conversation in the reception area. The room was also very damp so maybe a dehumidifier could be a good investment? Overall the stay was okay for the price, very well located in Carlisle and the bed was comfy. It was good value but I think I would only want to stay for one night. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9274ee25-673d-4676-8ae4-008f98a5fe4c-1745431837039.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Georgia Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachael Jul 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Rachael Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa Dec 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities So cosy and welcoming. Just a 10 minutes walk from station with cases (at 10:30pm) felt very safe and lovely host. Beds were sooo comfy, we all slept like logs. ##### Lisa Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### ROBIN Sep 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities We enjoyed our stay so much, and highly recommend! ##### ROBIN Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dallas Oct 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It’s a nice place to stay when walking Hadrian’s Wall. ##### Dallas Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter Oct 19, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Excellent ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Hedley Villa Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Royal-Leamington-Spa-Hotels-Hedley-Villa-Guest-House.h22880933.Hotel-Information) > - [The Royal Clarence Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Burnham-On-Sea-Hotels-The-Royal-Clarence-Hotel.h10626719.Hotel-Information) > - [Parkview Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/High-Wycombe-Hotels-Parkview-Apartments.h32463857.Hotel-Information) > - [Preston Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Brighton-Hotels-Preston-Park-Hotel.h34313.Hotel-Information) > - [Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Low-Wood-Bay.h5243.Hotel-Information) > - [Harbour Hotel St Ives](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Ives-Hotels-St-Ives-Harbour-Hotel.h175599.Hotel-Information) > - [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > - [Angel Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Tiverton-Hotels-Angel-Guest-House.h4638914.Hotel-Information) > - [The White Hart Royal Hotel, Moreton-in-Marsh](https://www.expedia.ca/Moreton-In-Marsh-Hotels-White-Hart-Royal-Hotel.h3848404.Hotel-Information) > - [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > - [OYO Studiotel Great Yarmouth - Modern Hotel Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Great-Yarmouth-Hotels-OYO-Studiotel-Great-Yarmouth.h27649496.Hotel-Information) > - [Blue Jay, Derby by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.ca/Derby-Hotels-Blue-Jay.h27427635.Hotel-Information) > - [Wheatsheaf Hotel - Virginia Water by Chef and Brewer Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Virginia-Water-Hotels-Wheatsheaf-Hotel-Virginia-Water-By-Greene-King-Inns.h9491956.Hotel-Information) > - [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > - [Spacious 3-bed House in Brighton With Parking](https://www.expedia.ca/Brighton-Hotels-Stunning-3-Bed-House-In-Brighton.h102317245.Hotel-Information) > - [YotelAIR London Gatwick ](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Yotel-Air-London-Gatwick.h18969729.Hotel-Information) > - [La Plage](https://www.expedia.ca/Deal-Hotels-La-Plage.h44458921.Hotel-Information) > - [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > - [The George](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h45140643.Hotel-Information) > - [Koala Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Ventnor-Hotels-Koala-Cottage.h5118777.Hotel-Information) > - [The White Swan](https://www.expedia.ca/Richmond-Hotels-The-White-Swan.h17687783.Hotel-Information) > - [Knights Court Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Great-Yarmouth-Hotels-Knights-Court-Hotel.h2286304.Hotel-Information) > - [Oxford Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Kidlington-Hotels-Oxford-Bed-And-Breakfast.h27280167.Hotel-Information) > - [The Collingwood](https://www.expedia.ca/Great-Yarmouth-Hotels-The-Collingwood.h76228660.Hotel-Information) > - [Middle Flass Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Clitheroe-Hotels-Middle-Flass-Lodge.h4531075.Hotel-Information) > - [Tides Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Pevensey-Hotels-Tides-Cottage.h42241061.Hotel-Information) > - [The Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Burnham-On-Sea-Hotels-The-Victoria-Hotel.h5188308.Hotel-Information) > - [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > - [Marine Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Great-Yarmouth-Hotels-Marine-Lodge.h1797012.Hotel-Information)
