    “We hired this house to celebrate a birthday, it is large and the beds were comfy & plenty of space for 17 of us.”

    However, very disappointed with the lack of cleanliness! The floors had not been swept or moped, we found rubbish under the settee from previous guests. The place had not been dusted for a long time, cobwebs in every room, skirting boards full of dust. Floors dirty. The outside hot tub area was full of weeds and untidy. There was a musty smell when removing the hot tub lid so we only used that once. The house has so much potential, it needs a massive deep clean and it is disappointing ...

There was a musty smell when removing the hot tub lid so we only used that once. The house has so much potential, it needs a massive deep clean and it is disappointing considering how much it cost for 2 nights. I wouldn’t recommend unless they get a proper cleaning team in there.

About the location

CARLISLE

Gretna Green 13.1 miles; Penrith 19.9 miles; Dumfries 36.2 miles

Carlisle is set in the county of Cumbria, situated just 10 miles south of the Scottish Borders and is nicknamed the Border City. During Roman times the town was established to serve the forts for Hadrian's Wall, which runs east from the city across the country to Wallsend on the east coast and today is recognised as a World Heritage Site. During the Middle Ages, due to its proximity to the Kingdom of Scotland, Carlisle became an important military stronghold and Carlisle Castle, still relatively intact, was built in 1092 by William Rufus, after once serving as a prison for Mary, Queen of Scots. The castle now houses the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment and the Border Regiment Museum. In the early 12th century Henry I allowed the foundation of a priory in Carlisle and the town gained the status of a diocese in 1122, resulting in the priory becoming Carlisle Cathedral. The Settle to Carlisle railway runs across some of the most breathtaking scenery to the popular Yorkshire town and Carlisle Racecourse has a packed fixture list including Ladies’ Day and evening fixtures. Within driving distance is the Victorian seaside town of Silloth and just over the border is Gretna Green, where you'll find the Gretna Gateway Shopping Centre and Anvil Hall, the famous wedding venue.
