The lodge is on a very busy main road so can be noisy at times but I had a room at the back and was quiet. I enjoyed my stay very much and will stay here again the next time I am in Carlisle.

Very welcoming hosts & a great brekkie the next morning (including a great veggie brekkie!). Comfortable but nothing fancy — and it didn’t need to be.

Welcome excellent and breakfast good. Area is very noisy
Greeted by the owner as we stepped through the front door, shown straight to our room which was immaculately clean then showed me were to park my car.
Overall he was extremely helpful told us of a restaurant to go for an evening meal which turned out to be very good, breakfast was excellent.
If I am passing that way again then I would definitely return.
A really helpful host,ideal location just off the city centre and clean and comfortable room

Excellent location, very friendly and helpful staff. Fab breakfast. The room was clean, had everything we needed. Some areas are tired but you can see they are working hard to upgrade the tired areas. Thank you your kindness and hospitality.
The staff were very friendly always their to greet and assist you, breakfast was amazing so many options, room was as described very good value for money
Our stay here was lovely. We travelled up for a family funeral and was wanting somewere qyiet and peaceful to rest afterwards. The host was very polite and friendly the bed was super comfy and the breakfast was 10 out of 10. We will definateky be using this place when we come to see family from now on
I am a regular traveller to Glasgow and Preston and Manchester and living in a country area between the east and west coast of England I use Arkale lodge as a stopover for to rest and to catch my trains to my final destination the next day .
Room 10 was spotless, great breakfast and a nice host as always.
Comfortable nights sleep and plenty of rest during my stay and a nice Sunday night stay which was restful
