The Roadhouse Hotel, hotel in Carlisle

The Roadhouse Hotel is set in Carlisle, 38 km from Askham Hall, 30 km from Thirlwall Castle, as well as 34 km from Brougham Castle.

Location was ok with plenty of takeaway food near by. Rooms were clean but very basic, room7 a rip off,as your private bathroom was out across three landing. Again though it was clean. The rooms were warm the beds from the Ark, but comfy enough. Windows opened A tv was available but now when articles like that are so cheap then a bigger tv would have been better Carpet was clean with no nasty stains. A kettle was there, but no chose of teas ,coffee or biscuits Yes I know the price was outstanding, and I get it but come on
