The lady who did our check-in was just fantastic and really nice to talk. The breakfast was excellent and well cooked. The room was clean like a 5-star hotel and the bed was just really soft and cozy. I think it was the best stay I've ever had in the UK.

Carlisle Central, Cute Studio Appt, The Cupboard is situated in Carlisle, 33 km from Thirlwall Castle, 38 km from Brougham Castle, and 44 km from Whinfell Forest. Featuring garden and city views, this holiday home also provides guests with free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is located 42 km from Askham Hall.

The place was clean, in an excellent location for looking around the town, shopping and the train station. We came by train and used this place as a base for travelling to the Lakes District, taking the train around the Cumbrian Coast as well as going to look around Lancaster. The Cupboard provided a wonderful base to complete these activities, as well as looking around Carlisle itself. A bonus was the fact that, not only did the host leave chocolates and wine when we arrived, there was also milk in the fridge for a cup of tea or coffee and washing powder for use in the washing machine. Not many places are that considerate of their guest's needs.
