Cumbria Grand Hotel

Lovely Victorian grand hotel, nice food, good staff, comfy room. Impressed!

What we liked: Superior sea view room, with breathtaking scenery. Really lovely woodland paths around the hotel to get lost in, and only a 15 minute walk from Grange Over Sands. Bed was very comfy and staff were very friendly and helpful. What could be better: Cleanliness of the bathroom. Clearly marked vegan options or more readily available vegan options on the dinner and bar menus - it was a bit tricky working out what we could eat!

Beautiful grounds with great staff, rooms a bit dated but would return for sure. Snooker room was a great bonus. Dart board requires replacing.

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 FOOD COULD BE HOTTER. NO PROBLEM WITH PARKING PLENTY OF SPACES. HOWEVER MAIN ROAD ACCESS NOT PARTICULARLY SAFE
