The Mansion

Absolutely fantastic stay at The Mansion. Everything from the point of arrival was great and it will be my ‘go-to’ when in the area again. Handy for Whitehaven and also St Bees and a great base if you’re travelling further afield on the west coast. Great breakfast too! All in all, this is fantastic value.

Friendly, comfortable, welcoming and a lovely experience. I would recommend to anyone visiting Whitehaven. Major plus points, the lovely welcoming owner, the delicious breakfast, garden and pool.

What an excellent find this delightful b&b is.  Located in Whitehaven, this b&b is a great spot to tour from.  Visitors are a mix of contractors and tourists & the b&b seems to cater exceedingly well for either. We were greeted warmly by Nav on arrival. Nav showed us to our room on the ground floor,  next to the pool area. The rooms are bright and freshly decorated, in neutral but warm colours -  carpets and mattresses are new. They are well laid out,  plenty of space,  with a table if you need to work,  ensuite, wardrobe, and table with kettle etc.  Sachets of tea and coffee are plentiful, and extra available nearby. Nav showed us around the b&b, up to the bar (self service with honesty box), well stocked with good selections, the breakfast room, then onto the gardens.  Nav has done a wonderful job with the gardens, similar to the rooms, the views are spectacular, and the area so very peaceful.  Nav provided lots of helpful recommendations for places to visit nearby and places to eat. After a blissful night's sleep (a very quiet location) we ventured to breakfast, again to a warm hello from Nav who cooked us an excellent full English (other options available.  In addition, there are a varied selection of cereals, fruit, yogurt, pastries,  juice,  toast and preserves. We were definitely not left hungry or thirsty,  being supplied with a carafe of coffee, & the kippers on our last day were scrummy. Although we didn't have time to use the pool, we did sneak a look,  it was very clean, and the room bright and airy - maybe next time. There definitely will be a next time,  not only to see how the garden is coming along, but because this is a lovely b&b.  Nav and Ian have put a great deal into making the b&b a home away from home,  and are fantastic hosts,  lighting up the room with their warmth and friendliness.  A pleasure to visit.
