Crossroads House: Countryside retreat with an award-winning Cumbrian breakfast and a Roman well under the stairs
Historic Charm & Unique Features
A 17th-century Roman well runs beneath the main staircase, still flowing with water and visible through a glass panel. The guest lounge holds an honesty bar where guests can help themselves to drinks and settle up later. Packed lunches are available on request for day trips into the Lake District.
Award-Winning Breakfast & Dining
Each morning, a complimentary English breakfast is cooked to order, featuring Cumbrian sausages, bacon, and black pudding. Guests can request porridge, fresh eggs any style, or a lighter option from the flexible menu. The host also provides menus from the nearby Greyhound Pub and allows takeaway meals to be eaten in the dining room.
Pet-Friendly & Family Accommodations
Dogs are welcomed free of charge and receive a sausage at breakfast from the hosts. The property has a secure garden where pets can exercise, and family rooms can accommodate up to four guests with a double bed, single bed, and a cot. A fridge on the landing holds fresh milk for tea, and children's needs are understood - the hosts will keep an eye on kids while parents finish breakfast.
Convenient Location & Amenities
Crossroads House sits less than 2 miles from Junction 42 of the M6, making it a quick stop for travelers heading to or from Scotland. Carlisle Castle is 3.7 miles away, the University of Cumbria is 5 km, and the entrance to the Lake District National Park is 9 miles from the door. Free on-site parking and an electric vehicle charging station are available for guests.
On-Site Facilities & Services
Guests have access to a garden, a terrace with mountain views, and a patio for outdoor relaxation.
