The Old Wool House, self-catering apartments in Carlisle
Luxury apartments in the heart of the great border city
With 4 luxury, self-catering apartments, the Old Wool House is located centrally in the historic city of Carlisle. Stay for work, stay for leisure, stay to visit family and friends – this is the perfect base for you.
The building was constructed in the 1800s, and among its uses over time it has been a wool factory. It was converted into 4 apartments in 2018.
We, Brian and Julie, bought the apartments in 2026 and run them alongside our Rosalind House Bed & Breakfast business around the corner.
