Breakfast was good. Didn't like the car parking as too far away from hotel and not secure. Rooms could do with and upgrade, and as no toilet in each bedroom as I had to share.
Also not suitable for disabled access, as no lift and too many steap stairs.

Basic clean accommodation. Excellent host a genuinely friendly good man, nothing was too much trouble.
Full English breakfast was included and was spot on. Very hard to fault for the price.
Parking is remote from the property and is in a private car park. It looks a bit shady but 2 motor bikes were there overnight without issue.

There was an issue with a broken shower door that I didn't notice until late in evening before going to bed. The issue made showering difficult and I'm sure if I'd noticed sooner something would have been done to correct it. Overriding that niggle was the excellent breakfast. And fantastic host Ishwha(?) who was so welcoming, cheerful and helpful.

Not Recomended.

Bit drab looking from outside. No lift and steep stairs, not great on a walking stick with a small case.

Room 3 was acceptable, clean and tidy, fresh smelling however the bathroom was a \"tight fit\" if wanting a poo. Also the shower was smaller than a phone box with just a trickle of water!

The breakfast times of 7am to 9am are not acceptable especially on the weekend. I entered the dining room at 09.40 unaware and was told \"finished\" I asked for a sandwich to takeaway but told i would have to pay for it ( even though my booking included breakfast).
Doubt very much if i would return.

Inexpensive place to stay.

This hotel is OK and I would choose to stay here again. It was clean, warm and felt safe. It's not a brand new out-of-the-box chain hotel so don't expect that. On the other hand the staff were helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was good and nice for it to be included in the price.

Centre of town hotel 👍

Great hosts very friendly, hotel is situated right on the edge of the nightlife area. Big breakfast great breakfast room. Close to all amenities. The Hotel is an old converted town house with all the rooms upstairs. Big wide staircases no lift. The pub next door has a good selection of food at reasonable prices. We enjoyed our stay.

Convenient stop, not too far from the M6 and an easy walk into town. Generous breakfast and free parking a bonus

I had to ring ahead as I thought I would miss their opening hours, the proprietor was friendly+ helpful, said there would be no problem. In the following am was a very good breakfast, freshly cooked. Lovely place to stay. Very convenient for station and centre centre < 10 mins walk.

I checked in very late 11pm. I had rung ahead and I was met by Ishwar the owner with a friendly smile. He even asked if I had eaten?

A friendly place owned and managed by Ishwar and his wife Sabita.

This was my first stay but I will definitely look at staying there again.

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.

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.

Would stay again

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.

Always a pleasure to stay at this place

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

Stayed before, always excellent value

I have stayed at this property many times before and it does not disappoint.
I love attic rooms and the nice owner upgraded me to Room 6 on the top floor .
If you need snacks there is an Asda across the road and next door a pub that does meals and craft beers .
Excellent vegetarian breakfast which helps with a medical condition I have which was tasty.
Good price and what’s not to like

A good stay.

I enjoyed our 1 night stay made all the better by Ishwar the host. Really nice man. Even got in the car to direct me to his car park after I got confused by directions. It's 2 mins away behind buildings over the road. About half a mile, flat walk to station and town centre but £1.80 on one of the many buses that stop outside. Fantastic breakfast with cereals if you wish, juice/tea and full English.

Lovely stay

Brilliant service from Ishwar and Sabita, true care and consideration for an octogenarian guest. Great breakfast menu - cooked to perfection. However, stairs no lift and parking circa 100m in private shared carpark. Not at the pub next door which is only available for pub dining.

Parking a big issue for us. There is no onsite parking, okay no worries but the pub nextdoor to Arkale somehow issued us with TWO parking tickets for loading and unloading our bags. Enterprise rental company is charging us for this 70 pounds! Almost as much as the Arkdale cost. The owner and staff seem nice but this is unacceptable. Instructions about how to park must be given before arrival. I sent an email to Arkdale about tickets but no response….

Over-night lodge in Carisle

The listing said parking available but no parking nearby and told to use residents' parking. I parked at a nearby restraurant by arrangement with that restraurant when I was having dinner. Very small shower room with the smallest hand basin. Cold breakfast plate but otherwise a very good breakfast, Overall, the pleasant staff made for a fairly enjoyable pvernight stay

The owner was helpful and friendly. Breakfast was superior. Our room was clean and spacious enough. We were disappointed with the parking as that was a major reason for booking here. The parking is a block away and there is no place to unload at the lodge so you have to haul luggage from a block away.
