This hotel is perfect for anyone walking the Hadrian's Wall Trail. In the past, it was very close to the trail, but now with a construction detour, it is right on the trail. They serve dinner there so you don't need to worry about finding a place to eat. The rooms are spacious and well done with excellent showers, just what you need after a day of walking. Also, they will do your laundry for a very reasonable price and have it available first thing the next morning. Breakfast and dinner were both excellent. The location is just a little outside Carlisle to the east but staying here is much more pleasant and relaxing then trying to walk around Carlisle trying to find your hotel.
