This beautiful property, situated in the centre of Carlisle just 1 mile from the cathedral, is the perfect romantic retreat for two. Sleeping you both in a gorgeous double bedroom with exposed wooden beams and bright and airy decor, this contemporary apartment is one of a range of properties within a converted Victorian townhouse. Spend the day wandering the city’s museum and art gallery, castle and shops before returning home to wind down on the sofa in front of the TV.
The apartment, which sits on third floor in the converted attic, is spacious and welcoming. The open-plan living area is fresh and light with exposed beams and views across the rooftops; enjoy your breakfast that you’ve cooked up in the glossy kitchen at the dining table by the window. Snuggle up on the sofa in front of the TV in the evening before heading for a refreshing shower in the superb shower room among marble floors and walls. A peaceful double bedroom awaits – watch your head in the eaves! There’s plenty of storage space in the built-in wardrobes and a dressing table to help you get ready.
This apartment is perfectly placed to explore the Scottish Borders, Cumbria and the Lake District. Head to romantic Gretna Green (13 miles) to visit the wedding anvil and go shopping in the outlet village, or take a trip on the South Tynedale Railway from Alston (28 miles). If you prefer to travel by water, hop aboard an Ullswater Steamer from Pooley Bridge (25 miles) and take in the views of this stunning lake, stopping at Aira Force (31.5 miles by road) for views of the waterfall.
