    Attention to detail, the little things, like there wasn't any mention of black pudding on the breakfast menu. I cheekily asked if there was any and it appeared on my plate the next morning.

    Very warm welcome and friendly host. The room was nice and so comfortable. The breakfast was the perfect start in a long day walking Hadrian‘s Wall Path and I‘m so happy that I choose Cornerways Guest House for my stay in Carlisle!
