The hotel was conveniently placed about 10 minutes walk to the railway station and 15-20 minutes walk into the town. There was plenty of free parking and the hotel is set in nice grounds. The hotel is a grand old building but in places could do with a bit of an upgrade certainly in the rooms where our balcony windows had seen better days. Breakfast was good and a nice hot and cold buffet selection. Plus the service was good. Nice bar area but shut fairly early and apart from Saturday you couldn’t get a drink past about 10.45 pm! all the staff were very pleasant (apart from head bar man who always seemed miserable and couldn’t shut early enough ☹️). Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Great staff. Nice bar. Lovely outside. Room walls were very thin, could hear the guy snoring nextdoor. Any conversation in the hallway, I could hear. Not worth what I spent to be honest. It’s not as bad as I’m going to say but inside needs taking apart and rebuilding to more solid foundations. I know what I’m getting at a premier inn or holiday inn. Shame really as the location is immense

The hotel setting is delightful and has a real 'old country house' feel to it. There is a resident long-tailed peacock, who made very loud and frequent 'crows' and once flew from some high trees at dusk, which was amazing! The bar and a restaurant are next to each other and the staff were pleasant and very helpful. The full breakfast was excellent, if a little pricey at £14.50, although this was probably equivalent to any cafe price nowadays.

I was grateful to be upgraded to a twin room for no extra charge! However, there were some practical points I found unhelpful and maybe the hotel could give them some thought, given that my room tariff on the wall near reception was £170 pp per night!

There were two double sockets fitted over a heavy desk, which partially covered the sockets and without moving the desk out slightly, it was impossible to use my chargers or the kettle.

The bathroom was in good order and the shower very good, but the grab rail was dangerously loose and I didn't want to use it. I'm 72 years old and just beginning to appreciate the benefits of a grab rail, but this could not be used safely. It was also installed near the tap end and might have been more useful at the back of the bath?

The windows were old and heavy and I had to climb onto a seat in the window bay to open them - I like fresh air! There were a number of elderly people staying who might have found it difficult to solve these problems...

But I would certainly stay here again!

The Cumbria Grand is exactly what it sounds like — a big, old, atmospheric hotel with bags of heritage charm. And to its credit, that charm is real. The historic style works in its favour... right up until you notice the peeling paint and the layer of dust on the common area surfaces, at which point 'vintage' starts to feel more like 'overdue a renovation'.

The rooms, to be fair, are clean and comfortable — just a little tired and in need of some maintenance love. Perfectly fine for a night or two.

The bar is worth a visit — good quality food — although pricey. Parking was a squeeze when we arrived, though a function was on that day, so hopefully not always the case.

Overall enjoyable enough, but some proper TLC would make a world of difference.

Really charming hotel, great pleasure to stay there and imagine how grand it must have been in it's heyday. Incredible charming surroundings and views.

However, not terribly clean, some issues owing to age of property but a lot was evidence of a lack of fastidiousness with cleaning e.g. dirty cups in room, unemptied kettle with old water in it, stagnant smell in the room.

Staff were helpful and kind. Would stay again, perhaps in a nicer room.

This is a lovely old Victorian hotel, which you can see was once grand, but is now a little tired and in need of repair. Excellent location- views from the dining room over the bay are beautiful. Staff are polite and helpful. Room was clean on arrival, but daily housekeeping was limited to the basics. Lots of supplies such as sachets of tea/coffee/milk available at reception as self service (to top up what is in the room) is a good idea. I think this hotel is good value for money, but needs investment to truly reflect it's name as a \"grand\" hotel.

Nice looking hotel with a warm welcome at reception. The Windermere Suite was spacious, clean with a good welcome package but was a little shabby and the toilet seat was plastic and not secure. Small points. It was too hot and there was no air conditioning. I asked at reception for a fan but was told there wasn't one. However, when we returned the next day from a day in the Lakes there was a fan in the room. A gesture that is both impressive and much appreciated.
The bar food was resonanly priced, of good quality and the service was excellent.
The breakfast was good too.
The snooker table etc were on a lower ground floor which was very musty and the smell was overpowering so we didn't use these facilities.
The pros definitely outweigh the cons and we did enjoy our stay. Thank you.

Hotel in dire need of refurbishment. Windows not double glazed and thin walls means overnight disturbance from traffic, noisy guests in adjacent rooms, and peacock emitting loud squark at regular intervals. Need to bring your own soap etc as only provide second hand wash cream. Hotel appears popular with coach tours (heaven knows why) so bar and restuarant get very overcrowded at times (3 coach loads when I stayed). No tourist information guides or leaflets in hotel, only leaflets about their other hotels mainly based in Scotland, so not much use in Cumbria!

Hotel was great, very big old style country house. Luckily we got upgraded to a superior sea view so bigger bed, nice little balcony where you can stand or sit inside and look out over the golf course and sea.

5 star rating only because this hotel was actually low priced, if it cost more I’d probably be disappointed with a few areas for the price.

Generally condition of the hotel was quite low, carpets are stained, all the paintwork around the windows and balcony rails was peeling off.

English breakfast was good but there’s not much other variety. There was 1 type of croissant but not a regular one, almost like a brioche or soft bread type.

At a minimum I’d want a proper croissant (you buy them frozen in bulk and cook them in 20 mins, same with all the other pastries), plus some Nutella sachets so you can kind of have a chocolate pain (that’s how quite a few European hotels do it). Also some small chocolate muffins.

Obviously chocolate pains would be even better. Also a bit of bread with European style emmental cheese, maybe tomatoes and cucumber would be nice as well for a sandwich in the morning instead of full English. Already had ham and salami and Serrano ham so a few extra bits would be nice. Fresh apple juice was fine but the orange wasn’t fresh, it tasted like watered down squash.

Parking is safe and completely away from any roads or paths, good to park my motorcycle there, and maybe more expensive car owners will appreciate.

Oh and there’s a peacock there.
