Sadly even more run down than our last visit. Mouldy bathroom. Dust everywhere. Ill-fitting bed linen. No remote for TV. Shower was nice and hot and staff were supportive when we needed medical assistance.

Enjoyed my 3 night stay overall, staff were all lovely and room was a good size. Property is dated but this is reflected in the price. Main problem as I was there on business was lack of wifi. It didn't work in my room or the bar and was very patchy in other areas, which I was told was normal. The window frames in my room were rotten with water coming in, noisy plumbing system. No hairdryer in my room although may have been available from reception, I didn't ask. Decent breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was only served until 9 am which I felt was a little early for a weekend.

The property was an old one. Poor maintenance. The inbuilt room heater was not working. After complaining for 3 days, they gave alternative heater which was also not working.

Was a bit worried from the outside but internally it looked much better. Excellent staff and good food. They say they are dog friendly which they are but at a price. We stayed 3 nights and were charged £15 per night per dog for our two dogs £90!!!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Lovely room and view of the gardens. The upstairs room occupant's movements sometimes disturbed the peace and quiet, but I guess that's a common problem. We didn't dine at the hotel as the serving times didn't suit us, but I have to say that the bar seemed to be somewhat "abandoned" later on in the evening. When I attempted to get a drink about 10pm I was basically told all the pumps were shut off. This is not what I would expect from a hotel of this size, and it was unfortunately a big mark-down for the place. Otherwise, we had a comfortable and enjoyable 3-night stay. The town of Cleator has absolutely NOTHING in it, but Cleator Moor, just up the road, offers a couple of shops and takeaways, but seemingly only one pub that was open. St Bees and Ennerdale Water are very close, but a car would appear to be essential while staying here. (There was a bus service, but I didn't see a single bus while we were there!)

Acceptable, but needs an upgrade

Very friendly and welcoming staff were the highlight. Very poor temperature control on the shower meant that even at the coldest setting it was too hot for comfort. The meal was acceptable, but not a strength. Tasty, but pork was tough. Generally, although very clean, the hotel looks tired.

I guess you get what you pay for and in terms of value for money it was fine. The facilities are very 'tired' with many things due renovation or even a coat of paint. It was basically fine other than the shower that was very poor. Food was fine and the staff were generally very pleasant and helpful.

Lovely building and setting but very old and dated with some areas requiring overdue maintenance. Room was tired, old, tv would not work, drafty windows, blocked plug hole, not the cleanest room. Just needs massive overhaul. Dinner ok, breakfast missed as I had to leave, takeout options limited, cant really say any other than ok for a night but that is it, good parking.

The rooms were so dirty, Its like entering a once verry nice house. But the moment you enter the room it smells duff and diguisting. The rooms are weird when you enter you immidiatly go down a bunch of stairs. The bathroom looks like it hasnt been cleaned in centuries and the tiles of the floor are lose. My bed had a blood stain from someone on the blanket witch was disguisting. Dont recommend staying here unless you absolutely have to!!! Personel was nice tho

This was a lovely place with wonderful staff. The dinner was superb. My only reason for a 4 rating and not 5 is because the bed I had was old with mattress springs poking me. I had to take the duvet and put half of it under me. I can't speak for the other beds in the building, but mine was definitely not comfortable.
