Cumbria Grand Hotel

The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The weather was really warm, and she arranged for a fan to be brought to our room. She also swapped our top floor room for a ground floor room, as my partner doesn't like heights.

The room was very plain, with a miniature TV. The bed was not comfortable at all. The restaurant promised a 3-course meal for £26.00 per person, which sounded reasonable. However, the food was below par. The starters were strange, to say the least. The main course was kind of like a carvery and the food had been kept under the heat lights for way too long. All the food was dry and tasteless.

gardens and general bar areas

nothing to dislike

Lovely building, communal areas good.

The bedroom! Very poor decorative order (tatty), dirty, very small room, shower was unusable as so small and nowhere to put soap etc - if you dropped anything you would not be able to pick it up! Beds were on wheels so moved during the night and lost all of the pillows. Windows were level with carpark and no blinds or net curtains on them so had to keep curtains shut to avoid people walking by looking straight in.

Unclean room cobwebs everywhere empty bottles on wardrobe water stains on walls. Generally unclean

Breakfast was ok

Beautiful location, amazing views outside our window. Would have been nice to have some history of the old hotel. Definitely stay again.

It is our favourite place to visit for a short break

More outside seating needed
