Since we arrived in Carlise by train, we appreciated the location of the Halston only 5 minutes walk from the station. We ate nearby at La Mezzaluna and enjoyed the Griffin pub for a drink. The reception staff at the Halston were helpful and pleasant. It was great to have an elevator to easily bring our suitcases up to and down from our room. Our studio was great with a large, comfortable king bed, a kitchenette, a small dining table and a couch. We definitely recommend this hotel.

    We had a lovely welcome from Tracey who went above and beyond to help us when we arrived. Had a great welcome pack. Beds were comfortable, the wood burning stove was great and fun to use. It felt like a Snow White Cottage . The space outside was incredible as was the wildlife. We even saw a deer. The wifi, dvd's were great. It was dog friendly and also not too far away from Carlisle. The whole family were very nice . We would definitely visit again.

    Fantastic hidden gem of a hotel. A little out of the way but worth the short detour. Old and interesting hotel with and huge comfortable room for our family with two adult "children". Friendly and helpful staff and locals, great meal in the bar and breakfast was perfect also. Highly recommended.

    Felt they were very flexible in accommodating our family and gave us a lovely room. The bar/restaurant staff were also great despite being run off their feet with a function going on. We also really liked that there was a pool. It was just a one-night stop for us on route elsewhere but it was really pleasant and we decided to book the same place for a stop on route back home. We're hoping for the same lovely experience.

    What a lovely stay - with an even lovelier host. Felt like being with family, without the family drama. Our room was very comfortable and I loved the bath with a view. My kids loved the Duplo (large lego) box that was left at our door to play with. Breakfast was simple but good. Would definitely stay again if we're out that way. Love the Aussie "Fabulous Four" as we were called.

    Absolutely beautiful property. Good sized kitchen with everything you could need. Very spacious living area. Lovely back garden, and hot tub. I felt it would be the perfect place to go for a celebratory break with friends or family members due to the size of the living room table, beautiful outdoor area, games room and the number of beds. Kids loved the piano. A very enjoyable stay

    Dalston Hall is a beautiful building in attractive surroundings. A special thank you to the member of staff who checked us in, while looking after the attendees for a family fun day that was also running. She couldn't have been more helpful, or more professional.
