Cumbria Park Hotel

Hotel in Carlisle

The new look Cumbria Park Hotel has been extensively refurbished with major improvements to our bedrooms, reception, and bar/lounge areas.

It was spacious, clean and comfortable. Although it was very close to the centre of Carlisle, it was also quiet and had a very private feel to it, probably because of its main entrance being around the back, the front entrance being closed off. Also, you enter the hotel directly from the spacious car park, and the satnav took us straight to the car park. The meals in the evening were excellent and the breakfast was great - informal friendly setting and helpful staff.

    Oh, it's a hive of activity and we love it.

    Oh, it's a hive of activity and we love it. The Lanes shopping centre, right at the heart of Carlisle is a must for shoppers. It's great to see this in the city centre, where other towns and city planners have allowed the destruction of city centres by allowing out of town retail parks to cause shoppers to abandon the heart of these great places, Glasgow and Dumfries to name just two. The night life is also amazing with pubs to suit all styles and budgets and some are a real laugh. If you are into your history there's a castle right in the middle if the city centre too. The only issue in August 2025 I'd the roadworks and infrastructure improvements which have been going on for ages but I'm sure once complete it'll be a much easier city to drive in.

    Small but interesting cathedral.

    Small but interesting cathedral. The history display in the crypt v good. Tullie House very good. Dinosaurs, Romans and other things. Castle interesting. Friendly staff. But the castle itself could do with more info. Lots of empty rooms but no descriptions on the walls. Centuries of history deserve more explanation.

    We found the centre by the station very unattractive, noisy and difficult to drive through, particularly for disabled parking near to restaurants. Our hotel was a little out of town so it was very convenient to have a good Asian restaurant next door to it. There is a good pedestrianised shopping precinct and an excellent, large park by the river, with good facilities, attractive features and leading out into open fields.

    I lived in Carlisle in 2015 and left my heart there, so I think I may take sides here, but I like that it is small, you can go by the riverside, lots of parks to visit, it was cleaner 10 years ago, but I don't complain, always better than where I live now, in the Midlands. The hospital has a new endoscopy building (I'm endoscopy nurse, so I like this). I noticed all the places I use to eat in are still there. I love the little train station, the Cathedral and the Castle. The surroundings of the Cathedral are amazing, they built this cafe, it was full when we walked by, you can find tranquillity and meet your spirituality. From Carlisle you can go to the seaside in 40 minutes, to New Castle in an hour, to the lake district (I love Keswick) in 50 minutes or less.

    We absolutely loved this hotel…excellent communication from all staff, super friendly, comfortable room, and the foyer & dining area welcoming. We had dinner at the hotel which was delicious and menu had plenty of choices. We initially chose to stay here as a stopping point on a longer trip (& to see the Tullie), but have now decided to come back & spend longer at this relaxing hotel & see more of Carlisle.

    We always stay at the Crown & Mitre when visiting Carlisle. The staff are very helpful and welcoming, the room was recently refurbished, the wifi is good, the bed is comfy, the hot water plentiful, and the full English Breakfast really sets you up for a day of exploring Cumbria. The hotel is right on the Carlisle square and offers free parking which is perfect.
