Walney Hotels

"Excellent location, staff is lovely. Hotel is very clean in all areas but could do better with room cleaning. We had to remind to clean ours couple of times even after putting the sign on the door. When we came back, it seemed like being done in a rush. Bed was made but pillows were not neatly kept. It was overall good but would have expected better from a 4 star property. Food is another area for improvement. Really slow service and not so great tasting food but priced really high. There are not many options around unless you drive up to Windermere giving you no choice but eat here. Swimming Pool was nice, I personally felt my eyes sting due to Chlorine so couldn’t use for more than once but the size of pool is decent. Gym is also very small but I didn’t use so can’t comment. I didn’t use the spa treatment either but looked good. Overall good experience and will recommend or come again only at cheaper price than what we had to pay for last minute booking this time. "

"Not great unfortunately. Room definitely wasnt superior we should have been staying for 2 nights but only stayed for 1. Breakfast was tasteless and the plates were stone cold. However staff were amazing. "

"Bed was clean & comfy thankfully, breakfast was decent. Property in need of refurbish & a deep clean in areas. "

"Parking easy and plentiful. Breakfast good and freshly cooked. Room clean and comfortable "

"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."

"Breakfast especially the hot food has limited options and no changes during the 3 nights stay. The rooms could be better given that it is 4 stars rating."

"Room clean bed comfortable. Few minutes walk from city centre. Smell of cigarette smoke appeared to be coming in through bathroom possible from people in next room. Lots of shouting and noise banging on walls reported to staff in the morning so hopefully get issues sorted. We had just walked long distance hike in Scotland and booked in here for overnight rest before travelling back down south so not the best night sleep. However hotel clean comfortable bed. "

"Plenty of parking, the site and environment is beautiful and quiet. Not many staff but they are helpful and responsive to sms /email. Facilities of leisure centre is adequate. The interior decoration is classical but a bit old. WiFi is weak. Overall, we have had a nice stay. Worth a stay in a listed building! "

"Staff very friendly"
