Haunted Hosts

Standing at the heart of Carlisle since the Victorian era, the Crown & Mitre Hotel has witnessed centuries of border city history. From its prominent position on English Street, this grand establishment has hosted travellers, dignitaries, and the countless staff members whose dedication shaped its legacy.

From its origins as a fortified pele tower to its transformation into a country house hotel, Dalston Hall has witnessed civil war, family tragedy, and centuries of change. The hall's turbulent past and the lives lost within its walls have left an indelible mark on this historic Cumbrian estate.
