Provider-sourced guest reviews.
This little quaint BnB was truly exceptional. The attention to detail was just the icing on the cake. The rooms were spotless, bathroom fresh, a very warm and open welcome from Leanne . The original features, classical English antique vibes with the decor and very classy furniture. The price for a single room was very reasonable and this included a cooked breakfast, not to mention a huge selection of continental aswell. Again there was just so much choice I don't know how she does it. It's only a five minute walk from the town centre . I believe in supporting the small independent family run accomodation over a big hotel chain.
Absolutely nothing I didn't like, I will be going back to Carlisle and I will be booking this BnB again.
Very welcoming and friendly host, with great knowledge of the area. Room with lovely and bed comfortable. Breakfast was also great.
Nothing, I had a great stay.
Very friendly owner, nice room and a good breakfast
Die Besitzerin des B& B war so herzlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück wurde wirklich mit Liebe gemacht.
Lovely property very close to the centre. Very clean and comfortable. Leanne was very helpful and friendly. Great recommendations of places to eat. Free parking nearby worked well.

Ashleigh House is a charming guest house situated in Carlisle. Leanne is a warm, welcoming, and cheerful host. Breakfast was excellent, and on-street parking is available nearby. Carlisle is an engaging historic city, featuring an outstanding cathedral—noted for its striking blue ceiling adorned with gold stars—and a fine castle. The location was ideal for exploring Hadrian's Wall.

Very friendly and helpful hostess. Bed very comfortable. Everything clean. Cooked breakfast was lovely. There were other Breakfast meals available or as well as, but I didn't use them. I'd happily stay there again.
Nothing I can think of. Everything covered my needs.
Just a one night stay at the end of the Cumbria Way and it was wonderful. Good little room, nice bed, excellent shower. The breakfast was large, tasty and produced at very short notice when I'd made a mistake about my bus time. Usefully, the bus station was less than 5 minutes walk away. Highly recommended.
The property was spotlessly clean and the breakfast was delicious with very tasty ingredients
The location was a little out of the city centre about a 10-15 mins walk
Great location. Very friendly and helpful owner. Clean and great facilities in room, comfortable bed. TV and shower good. Breakfast really five star!
No complaints at all
Exceptional customer service. Cute room. Great breakfast. Leanne is a star
Very nice breakfast. The location was great. Very clean! Cordial Hostess!
How the eggs were cooked. A bit overdone. Limited experience with exploring Hadrian's Wall (bus options)

Englisches Frühstück sehr reichhaltig. Sehr freundliche Gastgeberin. Sehr nette Atmosphäre. Haus liegt nahe der Innenstadt von Carlisle.
Manchmal gewisse Probleme mit warmem Wasser bei der Dusche.
The lady was very helpful, and welcoming
The host was exceptionally friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome from the start. Breakfast was fantastic - delicious English breakfast with great fresh coffee! The house and bedrooms are spotlessly clean, beautifully and thoughtfully furnished with high-quality details. To top it off, the location is ideal, just a quick 10-minute walk to the cathedral. Highly recommended!
Gemütliche Zimmer, sehr gutes Frühstück (neben kontinental konnte man sie die Teile aus dem english Breakfast aussuchen, die man wollte) und Parken konnte man mit einer Parkkarte vom B&B kostenlos direkt in der Seitenstrasse. Preis -Leistung war also richtig gut. Das B&B ist ein paar Minuten zu Fuß ins Zentrum.
Absolutely excellent in every way. Definitely come again.
breakfast superb host very friendly

Very nice old guesthouse, very welcoming. We were lucky to have a room at the back, which was very quiet. Excellent breakfast. Within easy walking distance of some nice restaurants and the train station. Would definitely recommend.
Very nicely furnished rooms, an attentive hostess, and a very good breakfast.
Everything was okay

A lovely B&B on the edge of the city centre. A really convenient location for exploring the city. I stayed here for one night while walking the Hadrian's Wall Path, the property was close to the path route :-). The owner was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was superb!
I liked it all!
Great host, lovely accommodation
Genuinely friendly welcome from time of arrival to departure. Excellent breakfast which was appreciated. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thanks.
Great friendly service

Lovely clean rooms with all the facilities needed. Very welcoming and lovely owner. Great value for money. Great location with parking. Fantastic breakfast. Comfy bed.
Pillows were a bit hard
Leanne was really welcoming and had kindly set up iron and uroning board for me to use. Room had ecerything I needed and ensuite was great wuth an efficient shower. Great furnishings to suit the house. Fab coffee in the morning. Price was excelent value.
Couldnt eat more of my lovely breakfast.
A beautiful house in Carlisle, Leanne greeted us with a very warm welcome. She was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was delicious and lots to choose from. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.
Het B&B ligt op een superlocatie, de kamers zijn ruim met geweldige bedden en de vriendelijke host maakt werkelijk het allerbeste ontbijt in heel het VK.
de douche loopt via een electrisch systeem. Warm genoeg maar lastig in te stellen en weinig druk op het water.
Comfortable bed great shower very clean and tidy place breakfast fabulous selection

Je loopt zo het centrum in en met de tips van de host ook heerlijk gegeten. Parkeren ook goed geregeld.
Close proximity to the town centre. Easy parking. Quality furnishings Excellent breakfast.
Small room.
Handy near central location with plenty of places to eat nearby. Disc parking in adjacent side road with permit available from the house.
The host, Leanne was wonderful. Very friendly and eager to ensure we had the perfect stay. The llocation was central and the breakfast was delicious. So many options to choose from.
Il s'agit d'un bed & breakfast très typique, avec une déco traditionnelle et une ambiance cosy. L'accueil était super, le petit déj très bon, et l'emplacement très pratique pour gagner le centre ville à pied. Nous recommandons sans hésiter 😊
The location is very convenient for parking using a permit for our stay and an easy walk to the railway station and the city centre. The property is well maintained and attractive. Leanne our hostess welcomed us and gave suggestions for nearby restaurants for dinner and gave time to her guests.. She cooked our breakfast and provided good choices. The bedroom was attractive, quiet and clean. Nice size shower.
I would have preferred a firmer mattress.
Host was very nice lovely woman.

This B&B is a short walk from the city centre and easy to find. A friendly welcome on arrival and throughout the stay.
The property is early Victorian and like many similiar properties you are aware of movement in the room above.
Excellent place to stay
Traffic noise
Host
Great location. Fantastic breakfast - Liked the ability to choose what you wanted. Leanne was friendly and helpful.
Clearer instructions on how the parking permit was issued.
Comfortable and friendly host
Wir wurden auch am späten Abend noch sehr nett empfangen. Das Zimmer war sehr gemütlich und mit viel Liebe eingerichtet. Auch das Frühstück war sehr liebevoll gemacht und typisch für ein englisches BnB. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!
Allt ifrån den bekväma sängen, till den goda engelska frukosten och det fina bemötandet från värdinnan var toppen. Läget är också perfekt. Jag kan verkligen rekommendera Asleigh House.
The host was excellent didn't want for anything, breakfast was lovely worth the money.
Nothing
Nice bathroom and the smart TV
The bowl of earplugs outside the room. Now I know that you need them as the road traffic is very noisey and the bed shakes when Lorrie’s go past
Host couldn't have been more helpful. The room (3) was exceptionally clean as was the en-suite. Beds were very comfy. Efficient secondary glazing dealt with most of any room noise. Breakfast was ample and delicious with a great choice. Perfect location close to town and were able to park with no problem (disabled space) free with a permit provided by Leanne. Lots of little touches everywhere that just showed they were thinking of guest comfort.
Room decor was a bit dated
My single room fully met my requirements, and the en-suite was spotlessly clean, modern and efficient. Leanne was a terrific host, and the full English breakfast one of the very best I've had on my various travels. I would highly recommend Ashleigh House.
The breakfast was brilliant. A very wide range of things to have. Cooked breakfast was very good. The room was clean as was the shower room. Thank god there was a fan in the room, it would have been unbearable otherwise in this weather. And of course, hot air rises so not very good to be on the top floor.
We had to climb 2 sets of long, high stairs. This definitely wasn't expected. If we had been staying more than the 1 night I'd have asked for a different room. I'm 61, and climbing those stairs was very difficult. Sorry but the room was also very small. The shower room was also very small. Also the bed wasn't very big. I'm not sure why it says on this questionnaire that I requested a quiet room, I certainly do not recall making such a request.
It’s walking distance to town centre, the breakfast was excellent cooked to perfection 10 out of 10 for everything

Everything was fantastic!
Absolutely no improvements needed.
This property is an absolute gem, Leanne is super friendly and offers a fantastic stay in luxury. I stayed in room 6 which was beautifully decorated and had absolutely everything you could need. I was visiting the Sands Centre for a show and the location was perfect. Breakfast was fantastic, such good quality ingredients and very tasty. Leanne really was a fabulous host and was super helpful. Highly recommended for an enjoyable stay.
Very friendly welcome!
This was a lovely BnB. I was greeted at the door and shown to my room, as well as given a permit for my car to allow me to park and not worry about timings. I was only there for one night but it fit the bill. Lovely room and en suite - all very clean and tidy. Breakfast was fantastic and she had gluten free options, as I had mentioned that I'm coeliac. Just a lovely place and the host was most welcoming. I'd recommend staying here.
Ideally located. Good on street parking. Comfortable well equipped room. Breakfast exceptional and lovely host
No problems, everything great.
Friendly clean and a great breakfast, thanks,😊
The host was so kind and the breakfast was incredible.
It was wonderful!
位置好

Great location within walking distance of everything we needed
Car parking on arrival was difficult as it’s on street nearby and there was no space, but is free with a voucher provided by the hotel
Leanne is an excellent host. Great breakfast. Location spot on for walking the Hadrians Wall Path. Accessible from the route and convenient for popping out in the evening.
Very little. Rather stuffy but it was a heatwave, and a fan was provided.
Great location for Hadrian's Wall Path
Friendly, cheerful, staff. The breakfast.
The garden is stunning! We enjoyed our takeaway dinner out in the garden and sat out there with both our wine and tea. The breakfast was excellent.
The room needed a fan to move the air around. I opened the door and didn’t worry about it being open but many people might worry about that.
Woken at 4:30 am by thunderous traffic, motorbikes and loud music in cars. I stayed in ten different overnight accommodations on my trip and that was the worst night of all. The traffic was intense, none stop, and immediately outside of my room. It was also the most expensive being over £60
Very noisy
Location is convenient for the city centre, shops, restaurants etc. Breakfast was delicious - plump herby sausages, a cornucopia of cereals, waffles. This was my second year of staying here - the ambience is lovely.
What's not to like?
Lovely place , great location, the lady was amazing, went as was taking part in a run and was even left water and a cake bar in the morning
Staff super friendly and helpful. Great attention to detail. Provided extremely nice vegan breakfast for me and even provided oatmilk for tea/coffee in room, plus vegan/cruelty-free toiletries without my asking. Very impressed!
Both fine.
Small point, but the bed in my room was on wheels, and tended to slide a bit!
The location. The host was very friendly and did a great breakfast
Very welcoming and accommodating owner. Comfy rooms and great breakfast.
From super friendly welcome and being very accommodating about our bikes we loved our stay at Ashleigh House. Breakfast was superb. Location was super easy for the centre of town. Thank you. Would highly recommend staying here if you are in Carlisle.
Very nice property basically in center of town. Short walk to downtown and restaurants. Great host and breakfast.
Excellent. Recommended strongly
Very welcoming. Friendly host, Leanne pays attention to detail and aims to make your stay comfortable. You can see she takes pride in keeping a classy B&B. Lovely room. Breakfast was magnificent and parking nice and convenient.
Nothing to not like.
Perfect place for a stop-off on the way to Scotland, but central enough for a longer visit to Carlisle. On-street parking to side of property for which owner can give a parking permit. Very comfortable room - I had a single room which was reasonably big and lots of light. Breakfast was delicious. Would definitely stay here again - great value for money.
Nothing to not like at Ashleigh House. However, if you are an EV driver, please note that Carlisle has many EV charging points, but many are not very good. I recommend to head straight to Arnold Clarke - short drive, but worth it for hassle free charging. Nice pub nearby 😉
スコットランドの途中経由地として宿泊した。M6から近く、直ぐにM6に復帰できた記憶がある。説明も丁寧であり、おかげで楽しくディナーを過ごすことができた。
駐車場所の設定が外国からの訪問では、最初理解できずしばらく周辺を徘徊していた。説明を聞いて理解できたし、新しい発見でもあった。
Lekker vers bereid ontbijt, stille kamer.
Een kapstok voor je jas ontbrak in de kamer.

All
The hostess was very helpful and the room excellent.
Only 10 minutes walk from the train station and close to the park and river for walks. Single bedroom perfect for a nights stay. More boutique than modern minimalist style of other b&bs. Bed comfortable and cosy for a good night's sleep G. Breakfast was great plenty of choices. Host Leanne could not have been more helpful. Would definitely go again.
All good.
Very convenient and so incredibly beautiful. I was a solo visitor so my room was exactly what I needed. I would have never expected such comfort and all the amenities provided was possible in my smaller room and it was.
Not a thing I don’t like.
Sehr nette und persönliche Betreuung. Zimmer ist gut ausgestattet
Relativ kleines Zimmer
Wonderful breakfast, nice room with good facilities, great welcome and good advice on parking and where to find a tyre specialist.
No problem finding Ashleigh House with SatNav but getting the parking sorted out was a bit of a faff.
