It did what it said on the tin. I would definitely go back there again. It was a fairly basic room, but that’s what we paid for. The hotel is a lovely building and has a nice restaurant and bar. Clean and quiet. Couldn’t ask for much more apart from a few frills, which I didn’t pay for anyway.

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.

I believe dinning room table signs marked “Set for Dinner” would help people from eating Breakfast at a Dinner table. When I want to eat I don’t look at how much silverware is on the table. I still don’t know what the silverware at the 12 o’clock position is for!

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.

It is a huge building, could perhaps do with a bit of renovating in some areas, however that said I can appreciate it would be a massive undertaking, and it did not detract from our stay.

Was very dog friendly, with a woodland walk which was a real plus for our dog first thing in the morning and last thing in the evening, as in some dog friendly hotels they just have a little bit of lawn for the dogs.

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.

The Cumbria Grand is in a beautiful setting our room was clean and warm, the decor is undoubtably out dated being from the 1980’s and could do with a makeover the French windows were a little draughty, the en-suite was clean and everything worked there was a tv and kettle in the room with coffee and tea ( topups were available in the foyer) it is a “dog friendly hotel” however our furry friends are only allowed in small rooms off the main dining area which kind of spoils the ambiance of the hotel it also makes it difficult if your pet is scared of larger animals as there is little space within the allocated dining area. The breakfast was nicely cooked with a good choice of cereals and pastries

The Cumbria Grand is a palace of a building overlooking Morecambe Bay and the Kent estuary. One senses its boom days are over, but it survives rather well, embracing wedding parties and coach tours. My twin room had a breathtaking view of the estuary, looking over to Arnside. The bed was extremely comfortable; the shower worked well. The breakfast buffet was very good indeed, with a fine selection of hot items, including black pudding (a favourite). I didn’t dine here but the dinner menu looked pretty good. The hotel is in impressive grounds - with its own woodland walk (recommended, but boots required at this time of year). If you walk down the hotel’s longish drive and cross the main road, you’ll see a bridge over the railway leading to the start of Grange promenade and a five-minute walk to the railway station. You really couldn’t wish for a finer setting and if the hotel is just a little faded, it hasn’t lost its charm. I’ll definitely be staying here again.
