Wonderful little apartment in the centre of Carlisle. Hidden away from the bustle but close enough to be on hand for everything in the centre, this apartment was superb. It is just the right size for a couple and the outdoor space is a great bonus. Everything you might need for a self catering stay was provided, the finish on the fittings and decoration was amazing and the little personal touches for arrival made for a lovely begining to our stay. Will recommend to anyone looking to stay in Carlisle and will definitely use again.

Wow! This place was absolutely perfect. Large rooms, super comfy beds and two separate bathrooms. Only booked one night, wished we'd booked more. Easy to get to, GPS in car was wrong, parking great. Super quiet site (no road noise) and facilities were fantastic. Clearly a very well looked after property.
