Alby Bungalow

Alby Bungalow is a single-storey property built for comfort and ease of movement. Everything happens on the ground floor: three bedrooms (a kingsize, a double, and two singles), three bathrooms with showers and heated towel rails, a living and dining area with Freeview TV and DVD player, and a kitchen equipped for proper cooking with an electric cooker, dishwasher and both fridge and freezer space. A utility room houses a washing machine and additional freezer. The enclosed garden comes with a sitting area and furniture; private parking for three cars is on site.

Bed linen, towels, electricity and wi-fi are all included. One dog travels free. The property suits families or groups of up to six, and does not permit smoking. Carlisle itself has a castle dating to the 11th century, and Tullie House offers a museum of regional history. The Lake District lies within reasonable driving distance for those who want to combine city culture with mountain walks.
