Family
favourite
Children are welcome in the bar and dining areas and have their own
menu. Kid-friendly beds can be accommodated in a number of
rooms.
Outdoor adventures
Hardcore hikers can take on a section of the 84 mile Hadrian's
Wall. Or, explore the many circular rambles and signposted trails
of the Lake District for breathtaking views. There's even a drying
room back at the inn to dry any wet walking gear.
A touch of culture
The area is rich in castles, country houses and gardens - so
there's plenty to keep history buffs and culture-vultures
occupied.
Rooms
The five rooms are named after some much-loved local places in the area. Keen to create a 'home-from-home' feel, the owners have worked with local partners to provide those extra touches to ensure an overnight stay is relaxing, comfortable and memorable. All have a contemporary feel - expect soft grey natural Herdwick wool carpeting throughout, super-comfortable and locally made Sealy Windermere Posturepedic beds topped with crisp linen, thick down and woollen throws, and smart, fully-tiled bathrooms - two have showers over baths and three have walk-in showers.
Little extras include room service, Nespresso machines, Smart TVs, telephones, cooling fans, access to the honesty bar and locally made Bath House toiletries. Walkers tackling the Hadrian's Wall long-distance path have use of a drying room, while guests flying from Carlisle Airport should take up the free transfers, available between 7am & 11pm when booked in advance.
Restaurant & bar
Combining traditional pub classics with modern British and European dishes, food at the Sally sources only the best local suppliers. Choose from lighter dishes, pub classics, or if you're feeling indulgent then more sophisticated options are available too.
From the bar, order a pint Thwaites Wainwright or the guest beer from a local Cumbrian micro-brewery, or if gin's your tipple sip on a locally distilled Solway Spirits with Fever Tree tonic. Coffee comes from Bruce & Luke's Coffee, situated near Carlisle Cathedral, who roast their own range of coffees.
