Carlisle

We stayed here for four nights - the owners amusingly described us as inmates!  It seems quite a lot of people stay for just the one night when travelling either north or south.
The owners are lovely, very chatty as is the other nice lady who helps out. They are  a friendly bunch and very welcoming.  (I do know their names but I'm not sure its the done thing to give away names on here)
We were upgraded to a mini suite - a twin room and a main bedroom - so that we had another room in case we wanted to spread out a bit and watch different TV. A nice thought.  It also meant we had a lovely balcony overlooking the beautifully manicured lawns. Although sadly the balcony didn't get any sun this time of year (north ish facing at the back of the house).  Our main bedroom was a bit on the small side but it was pleasant enough.
As has been mentioned in other reviews you won't go hungry here! The breakfast is not small - and the cooked options are fairly varied too which is nice.  I would have preferred  a proper Cumberland sausage though (but nothing wrong with the 'ordinary' sausage).
We ate dinner in the hotel on our first evening - there is plenty. We did find it odd though that we were offered neither coffee nor dessert. But we had coffee in our room  (and our own chocolate) so not  a big deal but a little unusual, we felt.
We would definitely come back if we need to be based between  families in Scotland and the Lake District again in the future!

Lovely hosts

We stayed here for one night en route to Scotland. 
A very friendly welcome, lovely room with a 4 poster bed and balcony. Definitely Covid clean!
There was a clear family run feel to the hotel. 
At dinner there was conversation between 3 tables as a result of the generally friendly atmosphere created by the staff. 
Our vegetarian stroganoff was freshly cooked and delicious as was the apple
pie. 
My husband had a Zoom meeting at 10 in the morning and the family went out of their way to enable this. They also made us a packed lunch to take with us. 
It is a very long time since we have stayed in such a lovely place. Thank you. 

Great stopover

I stayed here at the Park Broom Lodge on recommendation from SP training at carlisle Airport. The rooms were immaculate! I felt welcome and the hosts were very friendly and accommodating to my training schedule.
Breakfast and dinner are good size portions so you will never go hungry. 
I would highly recommend staying here. 

Recommended by SP training

Stayed here with my partner and at first we were a bit unsure what we’d booked . The entrance to the lodge is a little old fashioned and smells a bit stale but the new owners seem to be in the process of renovating so I’m sure this will be improved.
Our room had been recently decorated and it was very spacious with a generous shower room and a little balcony which was a nice surprise. In the room we had Big TV, Lots of storage, tea coffee etc. Was a bit disappointed that there were no mini toiletries  in the bathroom even though the web page said there was. Apparently this needs changing so make sure you take some as the nearest shop is the petrol station about 3 miles away.
The Lodge is on a very busy road.  The owners have done their best upgrading the double glazing but you can hear traffic noise constantly even in the rooms on the back.
The best thing about this place is the food. The breakfast which is included in your stay was excellent and the one dinner we had was very tasty. I also would like to point out you are not ripped off at the bar either. Gin and Tonic £3.20 and this wasn’t cheap gin. 
Location isn’t that great as there isn’t anything close by but it’s not that far into Carlisle about 8-10mins drive.

We did enjoy our stay but if we went here again, we would probably opt to stay closer to the city. Carlisle is a smallish city with reasonable shopping, museums etc.  The cathedral and Castle are worth a visit. Plenty of easy parking in the City and some nice places to eat although many seemed to be closed on Sunday oddly.

Quirky but Great Food

Just the one night stay on the return home from Scotland. This place is literally a couple of minutes from the M6 so incredibly quick and easy to get to. We stayed in the family room and had a lovely room with balcony overlooking the wonderful gardens. For us the hosts and the food made the stay so memorable. The hosts were fantastic, personable and great company who would ensure that you feel welcome. The food (we had an evening meal and breakfast) were both lovely meals and kept us satisfied after a busy, active day. I would not hesitate to recommend and we will book again for sure. They made us so welcome, it will feel like visiting friends when we return. Also, Covid was being addressed so santiser everywhere, tables distanced etc etc. Thanks for making us so welcome and see you again soon !

Fantastic Hosts Fantastic Stay

We stayed here one night on our way home from Scotland and it was lovely! Beautiful room and friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. Bed was very comfortable, room very nice with a balcony overlooking the garden, and the food was excellent! Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful place and lovely food

We have just returned from x4 nights at park broom, it was a last minute booking and I couldn't of chosen better as it really exceeded my expectations. First impressions were what a beautiful location,out in the countryside set within beautiful grounds with impeccably kept gardens to the side and rear.
The lodge was pristine with hand sanitizer always on hand and in the rooms.
Our room was beautiful with a stunning balcony that overlooked beautiful fields, the garden and the hills.
Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts who have extensive experience in both the uk and Europe and know what customers want.
There was a great choice of evening meals and the hosts went out of the way to accommodate the children by buying in additional items and making soft food for my baby and giving her delicious desserts.
Breakfast each morning was a real treat with so much choice and perfect to set anyone up for a day of exploring. 
All tables were socially distanced apart and the room was well ventilated so everyone could enjoy their stay.
I would definately return again and would like to thank all of the staff for a wonderful visit.

Beautiful refurbished lodge with a fabulous breakfast and delicious evening meal

Stayed on the first night of reopening after lockdown. Lots of hand sanitiser available and the chef in disposable  PPE.Good location in the countryside but close to M6.

First impressions are creaky and quirky. The hosts are great, She likes a fag and they gave done 15 years in Spain. It shows, They  are professional but very  personable. They  do everything, from greeting to cooling and gardening ( fab garden).

We had room 12. Lovely four poster and balcony with a view, Exceeded my expectations, It’s a mixed bag aesthetically; the room is large and has obviously new carpet and bathroom but the paintwork in the bathroom let’s it down,. There’s a great walk in shower but cheap looking  plastic sink and toilet. Nice wardrobe with a full length mirror (this is a a brilliant feature that many hotels forget ) , wonderful bed and good bed linen but the curtains and pictures  don’t match anything and the terrace is a bit scruffy. But then out on the terrace you can see Swifts circling in the field with the odd one coming right up to the roof above. Amazing!

We had a great sleep and the hosts couldn’t do enough to make us feel welcome. We had dinner there and they were happy to tweak the menu and portions were large. 

 I would give it 41/2 stars ( check in and out times are a bit tight) but happily recommend it to friends.

Benidorm meets  Carlisle

Lovely place, wonderful hostess, very comfortable bed and the most amazing breakfast.
  We thought this place was the perfect stopover on our journey from the north of Scotland to the south of England. Yes it is close to a busy road but the glazing is very good and we honestly did not get woken up by the traffic.
Also a great price, really highly recommended.

Perfect Stopover

We stayed here for one night for a wedding and would recommend it. The hostess was so friendly and accommodating (earlier check in time being one) The room we stayed in (11) was large, there was a balcony attached and an en suite shower room. We found our stay very comfortable and slept well. The room was clean and welcoming. The only slight criticisms we have are the creaky beds/floors, a cracked sink and that the hotel is on a main road- however we never had any issue with traffic noise and it is an old building. We both had a full Carlisle breakfast which was fresh and tasty. All in all would definitely stay here again
