Lovely stay
Brilliant service from Ishwar and Sabita, true care and consideration for an octogenarian guest. Great breakfast menu - cooked to perfection. However, stairs no lift and parking circa 100m in private shared carpark. Not at the pub next door which is only available for pub dining.

Over-night lodge in Carisle
The listing said parking available but no parking nearby and told to use residents' parking. I parked at a nearby restraurant by arrangement with that restraurant when I was having dinner. Very small shower room with the smallest hand basin. Cold breakfast plate but otherwise a very good breakfast, Overall, the pleasant staff made for a fairly enjoyable pvernight stay

The owner was helpful and friendly. Breakfast was superior. Our room was clean and spacious enough. We were disappointed with the parking as that was a major reason for booking here. The parking is a block away and there is no place to unload at the lodge so you have to haul luggage from a block away.

The owner is very nice, made a wonderful English Breakfast for me daily, and greeted me by name with a smile. The room was basic, but clean and safe and in good repair. I would stay at Arkale again if I go back to Carlisle.
