| Full of character in its appearance, Dalston Hall hides a fascinating history. The surrounding area was once occupied by the Romans and then the Danes. Later the warrior Scots frequently invaded the area, leading to the construction of fortified structures known as Pele Towers.
Built around 1500, Dalston Hall’s Pele Tower initially stood alone. Various additions and extensions and were made in subsequent years. In 1897, extensive refurbishment of the interior took place, together with the construction of the entrance side of the building. This created “a magnificent mansion surpassing perhaps even its ancient glories”, to quote a leading antiquarian of the day.
Just south of the M6 motorway, Premier Inn Carlisle Central North is just 1.5 miles north of Carlisle city centre.
The hotel is a comfortable, good-value base with an on-site restaurant and free parking.
Some rooms at Premier Inn can take 2 adults and up to 2 children (under 16 years). The 2 children also get a free full breakfast when accompanied by an adult eating a full breakfast.
The all-you-can-eat breakfast includes the expected cooked items such as scrambled, fried, poached or boiled eggs, and pork or vegetarian sausages. There is also a wide continental selection.
