Cumbria Hotel

The Cumbria Hotel provides a delightful continental breakfast and cozy, well-equipped rooms. Its prime location near attractions and transportation makes it convenient. Guests appreciate the friendly service and cleanliness.

This is a good hotel/B&B , with welcoming proprietors in a fantastic location, with just a short walk to the beach cafe over the road if you want light bites and tea/coffeee etc. Very few shops nearby although I did pop into the small bakery (The Buttery) when leaving on the last day to get a good quality sandwich bap for lunch. I only stayed two nights and had two cooked breakfasts, which were good value at £5 a time. My only reservations were that my room was two floors up, which would have been an issue in the past due to previous mobility issues (now thankfully more or less over) and I didn't find the beds that comfortable, so had to swap on the second night. Not really a complaint but I did find the duvets too heavy for my liking, as my preference at home is for lighter ones. Hoever I did sleep OK in the end. One of the previous reviews was for the local bus service which was from Clifton Drive, just a few minutes walk (at my pace !) north of the property. There are some bus stops along the South Promenade but for some reason they were not in use on the occasion of my visit. Overall the hotel was clean and tidy- a credit to Dougie and Diane.

Lovely b&b and perfectly suited our needs. The location is fantastic - very close to the shops, beach and a wonderful Italian restaurant called Un Momento. The room was spacious and very clean, with a good view of the sea. The staff were helpful and kind. I really liked the 'honesty box', very useful as we had forgotten to bring shower gel! Great Full English for an extra £5 per person as well. We will definitely return when we are next in the area.
