Majatalot – Alston

”Lovely manor house B&B with friendly and welcoming staff. Very short walk into the village. Food was wholesome and delicious.”

”Dianne went out of her way to be helpful at all steps of our stay. Great parking facilities, great shower, comfy bed. Everything needed was provided and well thought through. We were able to arrange to collect the keys early as we were due at a wedding and Dianne went out of her way to help us arrange a taxi booking to and from the venue nearby. Breakfast was varied and plentiful.”

”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.”

”No evening meal due to chef needing time off, staff seemed to have no idea what was happening. Only food available in the area was pizza at a hostel across the road. Breakfast room opened at 8:30 and consisted of help yourself Coco pops, croissants or toast, if you had an early start, nothing. Overall a very poor experience.”

”An absolute gem! Our host, Hazel was wonderful and knowledgeable of the area. The gardens are amazing! Would make a point of returning there!”

”Lovely hotel with welcoming staff, beautiful accommodation and fabulous restaurant.”

”We only had a short stay and recieved a really warm welcome! The property is beautifully maintained with many elegant touches.The breakfast was delicious and well presented.Our room was very comfortable and with everything we needed .Would highly recommend a stay here.”
