“"Delight the guests"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

We are experienced B&Bers and completely enjoyed our experience with Mary and Alan at their Carlisle House. One can name the various components of a good B&B and I believe most guests would quickly agree that each item is done quite well. But the innkeepers have gone far beyond insuring that there are simply no deficiencies. They have actively and successfully worked to assure that guests are delighted with their stay. Each of our eight days at Carlisle House was superb. We will be repeat guests.

“Carlisle House Devotees”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

We first visited Carlisle House after hearing from friends about how special inn and its owners are. Our two stays have been so warm and relaxing. Mary and Alan are lovely, interesting people who have made us feel at home and always keep us up-to-date on the latest happenings in and around Carlisle such as the new places to eat or things to do. We always wish we could come back more frequently! Rooms are beautiful and immaculate. Mary's delicious quiches are from heaven!

“The best of the best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

My husband and I just spent 4 nights in the rose room. This b and b is not to be missed if you are staying in the area. Bathrooms are being updated. Rooms are cozy and beautifully furnished. Mary and Allen are attentive hosts. Mary grew up in carlisle and knows everything about where to eat and shop. Restaurants and shops are in walking distance. The breakfast quiches are delicious. We've stayed at many b and b's and this is one of our favorites.

“Mother and son visiting nearby colleges”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

We arrived amidst a torrential downpour with a strong current flooding the curb. Alan to the rescue with umbrellas and assistance with bags. We were welcomed to our amazing room. The accommodations are excellent down to every detail. It really is like being at home...if home is beatifully furnished, spotless and breakfast is prepared and served to you each morning. Alan and Mary are wonderful, genuinely warm people who are easy to talk to and knowledgable about the history of, and goings-on in and around, Carlisle. Close proximity to restaurants, shops, colleges, etc. We definitely recommend this special bed and breakfast to anyone! Hope to be back really soon.

Room Tip: Blair room was awesome for this mother and teenage son duo. Extra loft room upstairs with bed was p...

“Carlisle House B&B First Night 2011-12”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

A road trip to start the New Year, mild temperatures, First Night Celebration in Carlisle, and Mary's hospitality at the Carlisle House B&B - a great combination. With the B&B only blocks from the downtown celebrations we were able to enjoy a jazz singer, Elvis impersonator, rock band, acoustic guitar performance, bell ringers, Mr. Saey's beautiful tenor voice, fireworks, and the friendliness of Carlisle volunteers. There were even more acts than these, but we had to fit in sushi at Mt. Fuji and a drink at The Gingerbread House! The Carlisle B&B had the perfect location for our stay and a late 9:AM breakfast with blackeyed peas to guarantee a great 2012!
Thank you, Mary and Alan.

Room Tip: Stayed in the Library on first floor, very convenient to going in and out the back door.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We love the Carlisle First Night celebrations, they are always so much fun! Actually, you can find a short video of the midnight Car Drop on the Carlisle House Bed and Breakfast Facebook page, just in case you were in the Gingerbread Man at midnight! Next year (12/31/2012) is the Fifteenth First Night, and Carlisle is already working towards it being the best one yet!

As far as the black-eyed peas go, I am the English half of the owners so I don't really understand this. But as long as you thought it was good, well, Happy New Year 2012!!
