Carlisle with a smile.
Service from the welcome was excellent, breakfast was fresh and plentiful with various choices. I had no requirement to use the WiFi so cannot comment on it.
The bed was slightly hard for me on a personal note but not enough to stop me going back, it's a me thing.

Good Eggs
A friendly, comfortable base for the last two days of our Hadrian's Wall walk. A unique mixture of Guest House and local pub, with an excellent breakfast, including perfectly cooked eggs.

Very clean, friendly and helpful staff, good food, quiet location.
A bit out of town so you need a taxi to get to restaurants but good location if you are going south for the day.

Comfortable overnight stay.
Comfortable place to stay. Good alternative when bunkhouses are fully booked - although a bit further to walk from Bowness, when walking Hadrian's Wall. Booking was easy online, and email responses were timely. Fairly close to a Sainsburys for provisions.
Bit too far to walk from Bowness on the first day of walking The Wall!

Perfect hosts, perfect location, great food!
We were staying in Keswick with my parents. My dad suddenly had a major heart attack and was rushed to Carlisle hospital. I booked this for my mum and I in a hurry because it is only 1 mile from the hospital and a short walk for my mum who cannot drive. I have to say, this place was beyond exceptional for our needs. Elaine, her husband and Marie where all fabulous. We had a beautiful breakfast and a delicious cooked evening meal each night. Also a bar area and a quiz on Tuesday! The room was impeccably clean and comfortable and I cannot fault the facilities. Also has a private car park and a lovely garden with a pond and seating for guests to enjoy. I really would recommend this place to anybody. Wouldn't hesitate to return, hopefully under more positive circumstances. Thanks so much to all of you for looking after my Mum at a difficult time. Take care. Richard.
Nothing at all, absolutely perfect for what we needed!

I’d recommend this place 9/10.
Location is top notch for travellers on the Hadrians wall walk. Quaint building and nice small pub. Elaine ( owner / staff ) was so lovely. We had some good laughs at the pub.
Room a tad small but as a solo traveller I was fine.

Fit for purpose and very comfortable accommodation .
The hotel was exactly on our cycling route so was perfect for our arrival and departure. The room was spacious clean and comfortable and was at the back of the hotel so was quiet and peaceful, we had a great night sleep. Breakfast was perfectly satisfactory and cooked to my liking, great scrambled eggs. They had a garden at the back for sitting and enjoying the sunshine.
Shower cubicle was very small. No dinner available on Sunday night was an inconvenience but we knew this in advance so made other arrangements.

When I booked, it was because the location is so absolutely perfect for Hadrian’s Wall path. Upon arrival, the staff was so kind, friendly and accommodating to any of my requests! Comfy bed, cozy room, gorgeous place to stay with a delicious tailored to breakfast!
It even has a restaurant and beautiful cozy bar. What’s not to like?!

A warm welcome to a friendly place. Would recommend for travellers and locals alike.
The hostess was lovely and went over and above to fulfil my dietary needs. She was welcoming and friendly. My room was clean and the shower was good.
The mattress was too soft for me personally. The room was a little dated but as I didn't spend much time there apart from sleeping, it was fine.

Subject: Complaint about Vallum House in Cumbria
Dear Booking.com Customer Service,
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with my recent stay at Vallum House in Cumbria, booked through your platform. I believe it is crucial to bring to your attention the issues I encountered during my stay, as they greatly impacted my overall experience.
On 28/5 , I arrived at Vallum House at 10 pm after a long and challenging day. I was dismayed to find that there were no fridges in the room or dining area, and there was also no microwave available for guests to use. It was explained to me that the kitchen, where the microwave is located, is strictly for staff use only due to health and safety regulations. This limitation was not communicated to me prior to my arrival or during the booking process.
As a frequent traveler and a highly regarded reviewer on booking platforms such as Booking.com and TripAdvisor, I have never encountered such a problem before. While I understand that Vallum House may not offer self-catering facilities, I believe that providing basic amenities such as a fridge and microwave for guests to safely store and heat their food is essential.
The lack of these amenities greatly inconvenienced me, as I had brought food with me that needed refrigeration and required heating. I approached the person at the front desk, who seemed indifferent to my concerns and prioritized financial matters over customer satisfaction.
As a valued customer, I expect a certain level of service and comfort during my stays. The absence of essential amenities, coupled with the dismissive attitude of the staff, has led me to question the integrity and professionalism of Vallum House.
I would like to inform you that I am disputing this booking and I am prepared to take this matter to court if necessary, in order to exercise my rights as a customer.

Always a treat.
I stayed in a twin room this time and it was lovely. Very clean and comfortable, spacious and the ensuite was lovely and a decent size so you don't feel squished into a small room. House keeping was efficient and the staff are amazing.

Wonderful as usual.
Stay here a few times a year. It is an absolute gem. The staff are lovely and friendly. The breakfast is great and they are happy to accommodate changes (I can't have anything tomato based). The room is always clean and comfortable, perfect for Solo traveling.

Great Value and Lovely Hotel
The room was lovely, comfortable and clean. The staff were welcoming and attentive. The breakfast was amazing and cooked to my requirements. Total value for money.
My only nit pick was that the walls are quite thin where the ensuite bathrooms are and during the night I could hear the person in the room next door using their facilities. Just popped some ear plugs in and went back to sleep.

A comfortable few days in Carlisle.
Vallum house is a reasonably priced guesthouse with evening bar meals (packed lunches were available).
And don't be put off by the use of the word bar. The area was small, very comfortable and an eating establishment, not a rowdy bar.
ALL the staff, from owners to cleaners were helpful, friendly and knowledgable.
There was ample parking, an ensuite shower and loo and use of a bath equipped bathroom if required.
Whilst not our reason for staying, Vallum House is close to Hadrian's wall and about a day's walk from the Western start of the walk along the wall.
Can't think of anything.

Would not return
Supper hours are not correct, it says 8:00 and they stopped at 7:15pm. Isolated area and no food served at the local pub on Mon. And Tues. owner should advise clients . Could provide a better map to return and also town has no street parking,
Said above and no fresh fruit for breakfast - bananas or an apple. No soaps for bathing etc.

Staff really friendly, food excellent, single room very small and expensive compared to others
Staff very friendly, evening meal and breakfast good. Plenty parking.
Room was a bit cold with heating not coming on till around 6:45am, Green emergency light in room was very bright and kept me awake. I stay in hotels every week in Scotland, Cumbria and north east England and Having just came from a hotel in Darlington where I had a huge room double bed, large tv and huge bathroom with bath and shower with a view that overlooks a golf course for less money per night than Vallum house charge for there small single bed room, I would definitely say the room I had was way over priced at Vallum house. It was ok for one night.
