Cornerways Guest House

This was our stop off point on the way from Cornwall to a Scottish wedding. The guest house is a lovely building, perfectly located just a ten minute walk from the City centre. We arrived early enough to wander around the Cathedral, look at the castle and have a drink in town. The hostess, Adele, is absolutely lovely and can’t do enough for you. Parking is on street with a free “locals” disc pass provided by Adele. Our superior room was great with a separate room with bath and shower. Breakfast was huge and full of local produce (fab black pudding and sausages). There was yoghurt, fruit and cereal for those that can’t/don’t eat full English. If you want a recommendation for dinner, Gianni’s only 300m away is also a five for us. This will be our stopping point next visit.

I booked this accommodation on *********** on Sunday. The owner phoned me at 9pm on a Sunday evening unhappy with a request I’d made. I’d asked to keep my bicycle in a secure location indoors. She shouted “this is an expensive place with expensive carpets you can’t bring a bicycle inside”. She was very aggressive. Maybe she was having a bad day, maybe she hates cyclists, maybe this is just her manner. I asked if there was somewhere outside that I could lock my bike and she proceeded to rant that nobody in her 20 years had ever asked such a ridiculous thing. She suggested that I cancel, and at this point after her hostile Sunday evening phone call I agreed to which she said “right f** off then dear” and hung up. I suggest this is not the type of host most people who want to stay with.

Lovely room, quiet area but not far from the city centre. Comfy bed and very fluffy towels. Breakfast was really nice, you have to order the might before but it was spot on. Only thing I would have liked is an option for vegetarian sausages on the menu. Friendly owner, would stay here again.

Beautifully furnished rooms and bathrooms with and excellent preorder breakfast . This guesthouse oozes quality throughout and time and effort has gone into making each room look stunning. Situated 10 mins walk from the train station & city centre but in a quiet residence of Victorian stunning houses.

Great place. Lovely welcome on the afternoon. The room was big and welcoming. The pre ordered breakfast was fresh and tasty. Lovely host. Will return. Makes. Refreshing change from the boring chain hotels we all frequent to often. Great location to both m6 and carlsile.

Great host and very comfortable accommodation. Good quality produce for breakfast within a lovely dining area. Cannot fault the place at all.

Just returned after our 2nd visit to Cornerways everything was as we expected first class. We phoned before we left about an early check in but as the owner had a doctors appointment she could not manage it but she told us the best place to park near there. We were visiting the Christmas Market, after we had been there about 45 mins she rang us to say we could check in then. This is the kind of person she is. We will definitely be back next year

A beautiful property. The room I had was spacious, clean and warm. The hostess was friendly and very accommodating when I rang to ask for an early check in. Also provided extra milk and tea bags. 10 minute walk to the centre. Would recommend.

Personal service from owner ,nothing was too much trouble for her, she is very hardworking and pleasant manner. Some of the period furnishings and decor made for a very interesting stay.
