The Fox and Pheasant  

Tucked in Armathwaite on the outskirts of Carlisle, this romantic inn sits near Saint Nicholas and St Mary's Church and is a short drive from the Lake District National Park (about 15.6 miles). Pet-friendly and family-friendly, it’s a quiet base for exploring Cumbria’s sights.

A small, cozy inn with just five guestrooms — think traditional charm with modern touches. Rooms offer flat-screen TVs, desks and electric kettles, plus private bathrooms with tubs or showers and daily housekeeping. Outdoor furniture, a picnic area and a casual coffee spot add to the easygoing vibe.

On-site restaurant and two bars/lounges for evening drinks. Playrooms keep kids entertained and pets are welcome. Free self-parking and complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property. Expect relaxed country mornings and the simple comforts of a well-loved inn.

Complimentary wireless internet and in-room desks make light work possible while you’re away from the office.

The restaurant serves local flavors and a relaxed menu. Enjoy a complimentary English breakfast on weekdays from 7:00–9:30 AM and weekends from 8:30–9:30 AM. Two bars and a coffee spot keep mornings and nights covered.
