We stopped for one night at String of Horses, just outside Carlisle, on our way to Scotland and were sorry it was was for only one night. This 17th century pub is really gorgeous with lounges furnished with period furniture and interesting pictures . Our modernised standard room was small but light, well designed to include storage space and with a really comfortable bed. The modern bathroom had an excellent shower huge bath sheets and luxury toiletries. Breakfast included was cooked to order with a really good selection. Our only disappointment was that because we had not booked direct, we only discovered there was no dinner served on a Sunday when we arrived. But Sam, the lovely receptionist booked us into The Queen where we had a really excellent meal. Highly recommended
