Having read the reviews on this site, I had very high expectations of this B&B and I have to say that they were entirely met. The rooms and the communcal areas were stunning, we had paid an extra £5 for a slightly better room, and I cna't say how much better it was becuase I didn't see the other rooms,... more

If you want a really nice place to stay at very a reasonable rate this is for you. Well located in the middle of Cockermouth it was ideal. This 18th century guest house has been refurbished to a very high standard whilst not losing any of its original charm. The welcome was friendly, the rooms spacious and clean with a... more

We are happy to recommend this beautiful guest house. The accomadation was excellent ! We had a spotless room, great breakfast, and friendly helpful hosts who helped get our holiday off to a good start. more

I stayed at Six Castlegate last year when attending a family wedding in the area. My partner and I usually avoid B&B's, as we are put off by feeling like you are intruding in a strangers house!

Only required a one night accomodation but would gladly have stayed longer, congratulations to the owners who have obviously worked hard to ensure guests had everything required, exceptionally hot weather and even a fan in the room, breakfast was lovely, didn't feel like a B/B more like a charming small hotel, more

Following our short stay in the wonderful Six Castlegate we felt compelled to write a review and tell the world how much we enjoyed our time staying with Alan and Angela (our welcoming hosts). The breakfast, my favourite bit in any B&B, was 15 out of ten for quality and the selection and presentation was second to none. The room... more

Second time i have stayed with my girlfiend now future wife, must say it is superb with lovely rooms clean and tidy with fresh sheets and excellent bathroom, complimented by the kind hosts and excellent breakfasts. Certainly would recommend a stay and a superb position for a walk into Cockermouth, hopefully back again just a shame we live on the... more

This was our second stay this year at Six Castlegate. Alan and Angela have turned a lovely Georgian ex Gentleman’s Residence into a very stylish and friendly B&B whilst being very sympathetic to the original fabric of the house. All the rooms are unique in their own way but all very stylish and comfortable. We used the dining room fridge... more

As good as the other reviews say. It is the little touches that really make it - the information pack in the room is excellent and should be copied by all B&B's! You can bring in a takeaway and use the lovely dining room, which is great for cutting costs, although there are plenty of good places to eat in... more
