Why Holiday Cottages in Carlisle?

Booking one of these cottages in Carlisle is a great idea if you’re hoping to embark on a city break whilst having easy access to the countryside. Sandwiched between the Lake District and the Scottish Borders, this ancient city is relatively small compared to many others, making it a great place to consider visiting if you’re hoping to avoid the big crowds and loud noise typically found in bigger cities. 

Home to an impressive castle that served as the city’s main defences during the Medieval Ages and an impressive cathedral that dominates the skyline, Carlisle also boasts a brilliant nightlife scene, which can be found radiating from the Botchergate area of the city centre. It’s also home to a host of wonderful old-world pubs, exceptional restaurants and great places to shop like The Lanes. 

What’s best is that many of these Carlisle self-catering cottages are situated only a short walk or drive away from the city centre. Not only that but with Scotland being only 8 miles north of here and the Lake District being right on your doorstep, you’ll get to experience all the benefits of staying in a city whilst enjoying the best of the countryside when staying at one of these Carlisle holiday cottages!
