We had a warm welcome, a spacious comfortable room, excellent shower - everything required for a pleasant stay. Breakfast, too, was plentiful and of excellent quality. Highly recommended.

Everything about my one night stay was perfect 👌

As a solo traveller, I booked a single room. It was perfect for my needs with comfortable bed, clean bathroom with a powerful shower and tea & coffee making facilities. The host was extremely helpful and friendly. I didn't take up the offer of breakfast but it certainly smelt good! Parking was available close by and was free with guest permit.

Excellent place to stay, convenient for town centre, parking was free and good, close to property . Melanie and Graham were great hosts, and gave good info on where to eat, drink and get transport from. The guest house was clean and a great breakfast. Will definitely book again if we go to Carlisle.

I needed an overnight stay en route to scotland . Cartref was easy to get to from M6 and felt clean and cosy. Traffic was a little noisy ( I had to open window due to heatwave) but the host thoughtfully supplied earplugs as well as various other "extras " for myself and the dog. Shared bathroom was clean and easily accessible. I would recommend Cartref if visiting Carlisle or just passing through and i would certainly consider staying here again if in the area.

Excellent B+B. Would recommend.

very enjoyable stay and helpful staff

Lovely stay - friendly welcome and comfortable room. Good location with a short walk into town.

It’s a nice place to stay when walking Hadrian’s Wall.

Melanie was very sweet and attentive. Check in was easy despite arriving very late in the evening.

We enjoyed our stay so much, and highly recommend!

Would highly recommend the Cartref guest house. The room was cosy, clean and modern. It’s like home from home the host (Melanie) was very personable and friendly, nothing was too much trouble and will cater to your needs. Overall and lovely and relaxing experience

Real coffee and cafetiere in the bedroom and super breakfast

Lovely guest house, spotless, comfortable and fantastic value for money.

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was beyond expectation. The breakfast was delicious and the owner went out of her way to ensure we had information as well as suggestions to make our vacation better.
