Kid-friendly vacation rentals in City of Carlisle

A beautiful and peaceful house, within an easy walk of the supermarket and take aways. Also minutes from a little park overlooking the River Esk. Perfect if you’re looking for somewhere to break a journey to Scotland, or for a longer stay

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Old Map Shop a property full of character and every need catered for. It was perfect as our final stay whilst walking the Cumbria Way. Just lovely, thank you.

We had a great stay at Richard's place. A great size for a family get together with enough space for us to be together but also quiet areas available if needed. Perfect location next to the river with beautiful countryside on the doorstep. Would love to return.

A Perfect Getaway! I stayed at this charming cottage and couldn’t be more pleased. The place was spotless, cozy, and beautifully decorated. Every little detail was thoughtfully arranged, from the well-equipped kitchen to the comfy beds. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive, making the entire experience seamless. I highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing retreat — I’ll definitely be coming.

Jane was very helpful prior to our stay and went out of her way to meet a special request. Everything we needed was there and we felt right at home. Its a shame we were only there one night. Thank you

Really enjoyed our stay at Black Mesa. A very cosy, restful and comfortable place to come back to after a day's walking. Great location with lots to do round and about.

Perfect for what we needed it for. No issues and exactly as described. Thank you

The host nice and helpful, she describes everything very well. Cottage is nice and clean and is in a nice quiet location. The host goes above and beyond to meet your needs, nothing is any trouble for her.

This was our second stay at Fiona’s place and we loved it just as much as the first. The location is so beautiful and the views from the window are perfection. The beds are so comfortable and the sheets were so luxurious that we looked at the label on the bedding and ordered the same ones before we left! We were within 25 minutes drive of Buttermere, Crummock Water, Derwent Water and Bassenthwaite, all of which were amazing swim spots. Fiona is very friendly and was available to answer any questions we had. We will be back next year. 😊

This is an amazing place, Robert has decorated it very colourfully, and the care he has taken in kitting out the little kitchen is impressive. It was a very comfortable stay and a great location for walking the middle section of Hadrians Wall.

An absolutely beautiful accommodation, comfortable & large in a glorious setting. Zoe is so friendly, unassuming & helpful. Encouraged us to wander around her lovely garden, the very old courtyard & surroundings. Her dogs & cats add to the pleasant home stay atmosphere. The breakfast supplies, tea & coffee were very generous. Zoe booked us into a nearby pub for dinner which was a good idea as they can be very busy. There are a number of things to see in nearby towns. We would have loved to have stayed for much longer & will definitely return to Zoe’s if we ever get back to the UK.

The Snug met our needs exactly, and Alison had thoughtfully left many extras in the kitchen to make our stay comfortable. We were sad to leave! Perfect location for exploring one of the most scenic stretches of Hadrian's Wall, very convenient for some of the best sites. We are already planning to book again next year.

A beautiful apartment in a stunning location. A remote stay in the Northumberland countryside. The listing and photos perfectly match real life. We unfortunately had quite a lot of rain so weren’t able to take advantage of the telescope for stargazing but with a good set of waterproofs we were able to enjoy local walks, mountain biking etc. It was clean and Mary was an excellent host. It is worth noting you must have a car to go here and would recommend doing a food shop before you arrive as there isn’t much in the way of even a local small shop. We slightly struggled with how soft the bed was so if you have a bad back it could be an issue. Apart from that, we had a delightful stay and would definitely come again!

This bijpu bedsit is perfect for a single person. Peaceful and private, and with everything I needed. The bed was really comfortable, and the whole place was immaculately clean. I was really happy to see environmental measures in place. The location is perfect - spot on for accessing this part of the Lakes, with so many beautiful spots within easy driving distance. Kath's communications were clear and friendly and fast. I would recommend this accommodation and its owners without hesitation.

It does what he says on the tin, and that's a positive! The kitchen is well-equipped with pretty much whatever you need and is fairly spacious, considering. The same applies to the bedroom and bathroom facilities. As a basement apartment, there is a lack of daylight (obviously), but it's not terrible. The counterbalance is that Sarah is a wonderful host who allowed me to check in earlier than advertised. The check-in process was thorough! The location is perfect if you want to be in the heart of Dumfries, and ample free parking outside and in the surrounding areas. I would happily stay here again if visiting Dumfries for the same reasons as my most recent trip.

Great place, great walks , would recommend !!!

Dinah was great, she was so helpful with finding the location, providing recommendations, the air b and b was so cosy, loved it

Angela's place is cosy and comfortable, as close to the delightful town centre of Penrith as it is to the larger shops for all needed supplies and very near the lovely local park with castle ruins to explore. One word of wisdom for future visitors is that you do need to turn on the second pull switch in the bathroom to get the shower going, but after that it's a lovely warm shower too.

The Barn really is a gem. We were amazed as we arrived how beautiful and peaceful the surroundings were. Kate gave clear instructions how to get there which was really helpful as we found other times on our trip the sat nav led us astray! The barn is so cosy and beautifully furnished, you can tell it’s been done with love and is stylish but very practical too. Had everything we needed for our weekend stay. After a wet day out walking coming back to a hot shower and putting on the wood burner was amazing! We loved our stay and would absolutely come back.

Absolutely lovely flat just steps from Penrith town centre, ideal for a weekend break. Comfortable and clean with really tasteful decor, well equipped kitchen and a surprisingly spacious bedroom. We parked in Morrison’s car park which is only a couple of minutes walk and were able to leave the car there for the whole weekend, topping up parking using the RingGo app, Penrith is easily walkable with a few nice bars and restaurants plus the Beacon is fab for a stroll to a beautiful viewpoint. I’d definitely stay at Allison’s place if I return to the town.

Lovey apartment to stay in. With all the amenities and great little touches you would appreciate and more!!! Great helpful hosts would definitely recommend!

I had a wonderful few days at Mark and Kristen's place with my dog. I've stayed in many properties at a similar price point in the area and this was definitely my favourite so far. The cottage was even more quaint and beautiful than the photos, and there were so many thoughtful touches, including welcome biscuits and fresh milk in the fridge, lovely bed linen and blankets for the sofa. Mark and Kristen were perfect hosts, super responsive with my queries. I would recommend their place to any friend looking for a peaceful place to stay for exploring the north eastern fells.

Lovely compact place with everything we needed. Beautifully clean. Lots of little nice touches. 10 minute walk from the local pub. 10 minute drive to the Sycamore Gap car park. Recommend the twice Brewed pub and brewery :)

We really enjoyed our stay here at Whitbarrow. The apartment was lovely, with the special addition of the balcony overlooking the beautiful views, which we enjoyed with a cuppa or two. Our boys loved the toys and the drawing that was available to play with but, of course, their highlight was the pool. Local distance to Lowther, buttermere, Penrith, pooley Bridge, Keswick etc so lots to do. We’ll be back soon! 🙂
