Bar closing at 750 on Saturday evening without communication, was quiet night but would've liked to no, no service after 750pm Had to go out to have drink, no Ice available to keep water cool Breakfast on second day was same lovely selection but staff seemed busy or unavailable to greet an be around to ask, help or even book out of room

Location, clean room, comfortable, staff on arrival very helpful, Bar when open good

Maybe on site restaurant,but it’s their choice not to have one.

Everything you couldwish for in an overnight stay.

No mention that the breakfast is continental when booking and also no mention of additional cost of £15 for dogs. Both of the above were not mentioned until receiving a phone call once the cancellation taste and time had passed, even though I sent message upon booking with no responses.

It is very close to Fox & Pheasant pub, has they do not have a restaurant here. Very dog friendly hotel.

Nothing was bad

Staff were really friendly and had good information (e.g. local pub/fish and chips info for dinner). Breakfast was excellent and good to be included in the price.

Sadly the kitchen has closed due to personal matters and the owners have decided at this time not to reopen it. Therefore only a Continental breakfast is available and no evening meals are on offer which is a shame as I believe this has added to it being so quiet. The Fox and Pheasant nearby does do food. There is a village shop behind The Dukes Head which sells sandwiches etc. We stayed three nights and on two of those we were the only guests. Very quiet, sometimes a good thing sometimes not.

Great location with good road and rail links to nearby Carlisle and other towns. Decor inside and out was immaculate and well presented. Staff were exceptional, friendly and a real credit who made you feel at home. The room was spotless and had good facilities, tea/coffee, hairdryer, fan on asking. There is a bar downstairs which opens at 4, however whilst we were there closed very early as there were no other customers. A mobile fish and chip van parks up on Thursday evenings which is very popular.

It was good value Continental style, however a full English would have been a great option , the evening meal we purchased was excellent although we only go there just in time! Bar Staff excellent as was the ambience. Bedroom was smaller but adequate, in perfect condition No noise at all !
