    When we arrived at the property we noticed the following issues which were partly addressed: - Towel with red stains (replaced the next morning) - Kettle with burned black substance inside (replaced the next morning) - Pipe to rainshower head in bathroom was no longer supported by the wall bracket (lose fixtures in the wall), water leaking from mixer tap - not fixed during our stay - Curtains dirty and stained, edges torn There is no lift at the property and as a result you need to be prepared to carry your bags up the stairs into the upper floors. In general the property could benefit from some TLC and the concept of an unmanned operation with unlocked front door (despite CCTV in place) where anyone could walk in may not suit everyone. Overall we expected a little bit more than what we experienced at this room rate.

    Location right next to the sea is a memorable experience, when gale force winds are hitting the windows from the Irish Sea. The beach is great for a walk and even a swim. We had a good night's sleep and the beds were comfortable. The housekeeping lady we met in the morning was very friendly. We made good use of the EV charger (three phase 11/22 KW which is definitely better than expected albeit very high unit cost 80p). The railway line next-door is lightly used and the DMUs are relatively quiet so haven't affected our stay. As a suggestion: Since there are no breakfast options on site you could set up a self catering kitchen so that guests can prepare there own breakfast in the morning without having to find another place.

    Breakfast was served in their other hotel "a minute down the road" but as it was a work trip there was no time for faffing about going to another hotel to eat. Paid for breakfast but after contacting the hotel to ask why it wasn't available, I wasn't offered a refund. The breakfast arrangements should have been made clear before / during the booking process.

    A little dated and one room (2) needed redecorating due to the damp on the external wall.

    Really clean, comfy bed and spacious room. Served our purpose for the coast to coast and offered lots of facilities by local firms, either delivered to the hotel or in local pubs.

    The location was great to access walking up Scafell Pike. Another great plus was the room for meeting inwhich was so convenient for our large party. Sea views were a bonus..

    Had a very large room on top floor overlooking the sea and beach. Ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower and plenty of storage space. Good parking. Quiet and peaceful location. I like places that 'leave you alone'. I would stay there again.

    The bedlinen was badly marked. The fridge had been disconnected meaning it wasn't great at keeping things cool. The curtains were woefully inadequate. the carpet was bleach marked in spots. The property is quite dated (nothing wrong with that really) but the ashtray at the entrance is over flowing and nobody on site mainly.

    The location was ideal for anyone who drives. It has magnificent views if you get a room with sea views. It is a warm property. It was quiet when we were there, which was ideal to sleep. There were plenty of plugs.

    The room felt very dated, the bed mattress is very old and not very comfortable, two singles pushed together, wood work chipped,would definitely benefit from some paint and a new mattress.

    The commute from the lodge to the hotel for breakfast. Was further than expected. Extremely good breakfast with local produce.

    The room overlooked the sea. Best bed ever we have had (we have stayed in many hotels over the years) so comfortable. Luxury towels, fridge in room + was quiet. Free telephone in room.
