Warm welcome and affordable meals

According to many visitors, nothing was too much trouble for the friendly and obliging members of staff who offered a warm welcome and a swift check-in. Diners enjoyed the tasty, affordable and plentiful meals, including all day breakfasts, available at the on-site restaurant.

Convenient location off the motorway

This simple truckstop was easily accessed from the M6, A7 and A689, which was a bonus for drivers who also welcomed the ample free parking with strong security features. Moreover, there was petrol sold on-site. There were also handy conveniences nearby like supermarkets and bus stops. Motorists mentioned it was easy to get to Carlisle city centre with its medieval castle and railway station plus sports venues, golf courses and beauty spots like the gorgeous Lake District National Park.

Simple rooms at wallet-friendly prices

The rooms were reportedly basic but had all the essentials for a quick stopover on a budget. Many reviewers felt their stays represented good value for money because the room rates were usually low. Many guests said their cheap and cheerful rooms were more than satisfactorily clean and comfy for a shorter stay.
