I really liked A.A.A. taxi's. I am a 22 year old student studying in Carlisle. A.A.A taxi's always…read moregot me where I wanted to go even showing me the easiest ways to get to certain places always a joy to use. Around 3 months ago I had an emergency and double booked a taxi, hadn't realized until I was off in one taxi and noticed the other poor bloke waiting outside my accommodation. I quickly admitted my fault and I was sincerely apologetic I felt terrible. The other taxi driver was a bit angry and put out which was understandable, after all I had wasted his time. Regardless of the mix up my driver got me to my destination and everything seemed fine. Ever since then my number started to go to a "I'm sorry we currently have no drivers available". Three months later I found out I was blacklisted for this one simple mistake. I know double booking is frowned upon but really? I didn't do it out of viciousness or spite and I did apologize over and over and tried to make amends as best I could. I'd made a genuine mistake while in a panic to attend to my emergency. Now taxi's in Carlisle can be sketchy at best but A.A.A. have always been reliable for me. Since my blacklist however for example I was stuck miles from my accommodation with broken toes and couldn't get any help from any other taxi firms. In this day and age it's not safe for a young female student to not have a backup such as a reliable taxi especially if like me they don't know Carlisle all that well. I find it so disappointing that A.A.A. have decided to take this course of action without even having the decency to tell me considering how frequently up until that point I had been using them. Very sad indeed :( So Pros: Excellent service, friendly drivers, fast, reliable, have helped me out many times during my first term in Carlisle. Cons: Not very understanding of mistakes, lack of communication, seemingly very harsh. Now this is just my experience, regardless of what has happened to me personally I can't recommend the drivers here enough. They have really helped me feel at home and settle into Carlisle showing me the important places I needed to go and just the general friendly banter and conversation that helped put me at ease and made things a lot more personal. Where I am from you may get a grunt and a Hello from a local taxi driver. It's definitely the friendly touch that makes A.A.A. stand out from the rest and was the reason I'd make them my number one choice.

Just like to say that Martin and Julie who run this place are very nice people, easy to talk to and…read morewill go out thier way to make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. We stayed on one of the sites Wigwams, Wigwams are awesome i love them and these one have the best amenities of all the ones i've stayed in. Tele !! yes a tele with freeview, microwave, kettle, toaster, heater and a fridge. The bed itself could easily sleep about 5 people . . and i do mean easily. This more glamerous form of camping , "Glamping" appeals to me as i dont need to pack up a tent. The shower block on this site id actually a lodge itself where each wigwam have access to thier own bathroom/shower. Having been used to purpose built shower blocks this was a nice surprise. For a couple it's only £35 per night. Great value for money :)

Just returned from the Easter weekend away at Roman Wall Lodges. I went with my two little boys who…read moreabsolutely loved the wigwam. Martin and Julie who run the site are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble and they helped me with directions, building a fire and many more things! They even bought me a birthday present and got the boys some marshmallows to toast on the fire. From speaking to others they all felt the same about them and at £35 a night for the wigwam it was fabulous value for money. The toilet and rest room facilities are better than any others we have experienced camping. The boys could play completely safely as no traffic, cars or people! Had great days out at Carlisle castle, Hadrians wall and a lovely day out in Keswick which is about an hours drive away. If you want a peaceful, chilled out but clean, well managed holiday this is the place to go. It was FANTASTIC.

You can also get camping stuff here at very competitive prices.

A really nice hotel just over the border in Gretna, Scotland. We had our wedding there last month &…read morewere very pleased with the venue. Everything went very smoothly, as these people do weddings day in and day out! We opted for a package deal to cut down on planning hassle. It worked out very well - the hotel took care of all the details for us and made sure everything went smoothly. The gardens of the hotel are TO DIE FOR and absolutely gorgeous. Going up to Scotland to get married here was worth it just to have our pictures (and ceremony!) conducted outdoors in the beautiful hotel gardens. They are small but colourful and well-presented. I love the natural look, so it was just perfect. The food at our reception was equally delicious and first-rate. I had the best tomato soup I've ever had for our starter, and the portion of lamb was GIGANTIC - made it hard not to pop the seams of my wedding dress!! The only thing stopping this hotel from getting a 5 rating is some of the staff. No one was ever UNfriendly, but they could definitely work on being more forthcoming with information and more pleasant at the reception. Whenever I asked questions, the receptionist (not the same one either - all of them except one) always had the attitude that I was inconveniencing her greatly. Also, the rooms are a BIT outdated (though perfect comfortable with all mod cons - I just mean the decor) and the advertised spa bath was just a tiny bathtub with jets! However, there is a lovely pool & spa for guest use - 25m pool, large jacuzzi, steam room and sauna - very nice.

But don't let that put you off: the peace and tranquility of the place means it's well worth the extra drive. The views over Bassenthwaite Lake from the restaurant and bar are absolutely outstanding, and I happened to visit in June when the long evenings meant you could enjoy the natural beauty of the place nearly all night. The food was very good and the rooms very comfortable. I stayed at the hotel as part of a conference so can't comment on whether the place offers good value or not (my employers paid!) -- but all in all Armathwaite Hall struck me as being a wonderful place to stay.

It has won some very good awards over the years but it is my favourite site as it has not slipped down the money making, big commercial route so many have.
