We stayed in this B&B for one night as we were up in the Lakes for a wedding. They were very accommodating and allowed us to have the room early to get changed and shower before the wedding. We paid £65 for a standard room and breakfast. The room was lovely, not huge, but large bathroom and power shower and... More

Very friendly owner who will really go out of his way, wonderful cumbrian breakfast with amazing potato cakes (thanks!). Nice old georgian house with a lovely atmosphere, probably one fo the best places to stay in Cockermouth of the B&B type. Take earplugs because it is on a noisy road is my only slight quibble. More

I was on a business trip to the Lakes and needed a place to stay which gave easy access to both the Lakes District and Carlisle. On arrival I was warmly welcomed and shown to a wonderful double room. Very clean and comfortable with excellent bathroom facilities which had clearly been recently renovated. Superb location just on the edge of... More

We have been staying with Alan and Angela twice a year now for the last three years and will do so for the foreseeable future. As other reviewers have noted, the rooms are extremely clean, very comfortable, furnished to a very high standard and the welcome very warm. The breakfast is superb, there are starched linen napkins and usually fresh... More

Stayed at Six Castlegate after a gig at the Kirkgate Theatre. This high end B+B was absolutely outstanding, with attention to detail, thoughtful additions, beautiful presentation and a delicious breakfast. Our host Alan was kindness personified as I required a vegan meal and he adapted brilliantly. A massive well done. We'll be back...which is, I am sure what everyone who... More

The Six Castlegate Guest House is exactly as advertised on their web page, something that often isn't the case. As my family discovered last week, the pretty bedrooms are pretty, the showers have lashings of pressure and hot water, the breakfasts are yummy, the establishment is spotlessly clean and Alan and Angela are delightful hosts. If you are lucky enough... More

From the moment we arrived, when the owner walked up the road in the rain to help us with our luggage, we knew SIx Castlegate was a good choice. Apart from the great service and friendly welcome, it's a lovely building in a good location, the rooms are comfortable and tastefully decorated, the showers are hot and plentiful and the... More

I have stayed here twice now, this most recent visit was a solo trip and I had the same wonderful experience of staying in a beautiful location with kind and thoughtful owners whose welcome is second to none. The hotel is as clean and tidy as ever, crisp white sheets, fresh milk, freshly made potato cakes for breakfast amongst other... More

My wife and i only stayed for a weekend but were made to feel extremely welcome by the hotel owners. Breakfast was very tasty with a good selection to choose from. We both had the cooked breakfast which i would highly recommend. The bedroom and en-suite was spotless and the bed very comfy. Only disappointment was we didn't get a... More
