Willowbeck Lodge

Carlisle

Warm welcome on a dull December afternoon by the owner Andrew.  Check in was swift and shown to our room,the willow.  The room was clean and spacious with comfy chairs to relax. Ample wardrobe space and large bathroom with separate shower and corner bath.  We preselected our breakfast choices before retiring for the night from an ample menu to suit all tastes. After a good night sleep breakfast was served in the restaurant that looks over the lake with friendly staff and prompt but not rushed service. Both the hot dishes of pancakes and eggs Benedict were well cooked and enjoyable. The hotel is conveniently situated just off M6 yet in a tranquil setting

Great over night stop for journey home from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We arrived after dark in the rain, but the reception quickly made us feel welcome and showed us to a spacious room with a little balcony which overlooks the lake.  The ensuite was equally large with a corner bath and a corner shower all working well. Clean, light coloured carpets and solid oak furniture  made it feel like a home rather than a hotel room.  We had dinner in the double height room with exposed beams that over looks the lake as we discovered at breakfast.  The chef did a great job and we really enjoyed the food. In the morning we could watch the sun come up and light up the autumnal colours of the trees.  The otter and kingfisher were in hiding on this occasion.  This place should be on your shortlist if you need a hotel near Carlisle.

Premium stay in a lovely location

Premium property with spacious rooms, an ensuite with a corner bath and corner shower.  Comfortable nights sleep in a quite rural location overlooking a lake.

Lovely hotel with gorgeous surroundings, lush breakfast views and plentiful food options including vegan. Wished we'd had time to dine for dinner as such a pretty dining area and location. Lovely spacious, comfortable and luxurious room! Bathroom could be updated a little but was fine and spacious, hot water took a while to heat up and fluctuated a bit. Only slight complaint was that the 2nd morning there was some gentle pop on at breakfast (Ed Sheeran and the like) but it had quite a beaty bass and as our room was just above the dining area we were woken up from 0730ish to the noise of the bass which confused us as it came through the floor as though we'd woken up above a club! So would recommend the alternative tranquil bossa nova-ey music at breakfast which we had the first morning which was lovely and made us feel like we were back on holiday abroad! Otherwise the location was so quiet and tranquil :) We didn't bring our EV but looked like there were chargers too.

The hotel is pure magic, family-kept and wonderful. We were welcomed personally and the rooms, although small, were very nice. (We did book the smalles rooms though, because otherwise this hotel would have been outside our price range.) The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, great taste. Dinner was nice but overall a little pricey. The location itself is a dream.

Lovely hotel in magic location

The greeting from the ladies on arrival was great. We arrived late and despite food being finished, they offered us a sandwich which we did not eat as we had already dined however the gesture was really kind. 

The room was very clean and the bed very comfortable. Breakfast was great and all of the staff and owner were very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Stopover  on way to Scotland

We stayed here on our way to Scotland. Very good place to stay. Location is fantastic and the rooms were excellent. Had a really good restaurant in the hotel. Served good food and wine and had a good selection of both. A bit on the expensive side but very good.

First stop on our trip to Scotland

We stayed for three nights in Willow room. We ate in the hotel for one of the evenings. The food was well presented and delicious, breakfast is a treat too…try the Egg Benedict for breakfast!  The room we were in had a super king, very spacious, dressing room and a large bathroom. The staff are really friendly and clearly take pride in their work and enjoy working there. We appreciated excellent wine advice from Jo and our booking was taken by Stephanie. The owner helps out when it gets busy…always a good sign when management are prepared to roll up their sleeves and be part of the staff. We would not consider visiting Carlisle again as there is not that much to the city (other than the cathedral and castle) but would definitely stay at Willowbeck again it is a good location for heading for parts of the Lake District and go to the Pennines.

Friendly, very comfortable and clean

We stayed here as a group on business and was not disappointed. The setting is beautiful, the food is home cooked and fresh and the staff team are excellent . 
We found this place by chance and would not hesitate in returning . The bedrooms are a variety of shapes and sizes, with a two bedrooms lodge for two people on site which is if an excellent quality . 
The staff go above and beyond, Ellis , jo and Andrew the owner and chef but a special mention for Steph who went above and beyond every day . 
The setting is tranquil clean and well presented and the food is delicious with a choice of home cooked breakfasts to a variety of meals each evening . With a group of six and a week long stay we tried everything on the menu with not a complaint. 
This is definitely the best place we have stayed in this area and for a group that visit the area regularly would all definitely return 
and highly recommend. Next time hopefully not for business !

A gem of a find

What a delightful, friendly and comfortable place to stay. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. Our room, Maple, was spotlessly clean and well stocked with teas and coffee. The bed was extremely comfortable and the linens and towels were top quality. 
We were staying just the one night as had tickets for a concert in Carlise with friends but would certainly recommend a longer stay with time to enjoy the outside spaces and indoor cozy nooks and to take in the many works of art displayed on the walls (available for sale)
Breakfast was delicious; plenty of choice all freshly cooked to our specifications.
We didn't get the opportunity to sample their lunch/evening menu but judging by the restaurant's popularity with non residents, I assume they match the 5 stars others have given.
