Very dog friendly, good location for travel, homely. 

 Everywhere at 'The Crossroads' was immaculate. My single room had copious storage space, a pristine en-suite, a comfy bed, a TV, and tea and coffee facilities. The B&B lounge area was tastefully decorated and oozed comfort. The dining area was beautifully set out and scrupulously clean. The breakfasts were excellent and served by Julie, a warm and friendly hostess. There was also adequate parking. My stay was also great value for money! I will return to 'The Crossroads' on my next visit to Carlisle.
