Hotel in zona The Beacon Museum, Whitehaven

Sono rimasto a camminare sul CTC attraverso il Regno Unito. Era proprio vicino alla stazione ferroviaria, così ho potuto vedere il treno passando dalla finestra, che era molto romantico. Anche se il suono del treno passava un po 'suono. La stanza era così comoda!

Il sabato pomeriggio è stato salutato da una bella signora al telefono che ci ha organizzato per parcheggiare la notte nel nostro furgone dopo il nostro pranzo. La cena era così bello, avevo un hamburger e cibi cucinati a casa e la mia migliore metà indulgente nel carbonara, Potrei anche aver picchiato alcune di loro 😊 Sicuramente raccomandare questa piccola gemma di un posto a chiunque visita la zona, Anche avere colazione qui prima di tornare a casa. Il nostro 1° bambino di notte gratis per quello che sembra per sempre & abbiamo decisamente scelto il posto perfetto Grazie a tutti i super amici, aiutanti e, naturalmente, il cuoco 😊

Siamo rimasti qui per una notte prima di partire per il nostro 15 giorni Coast to Coast Hike to Robin Hood’ Bay, nel North Yorkshire. L’edificio esterno e interno non è il più attraente degli hotel; un po’ datato e non ispirante. L'hotel era pulito, la camera era piacevole con vista sul mare e la bagno era pulita e adeguata per il nostro soggiorno di una notte. Il cibo non vincerà alcun premio, ma era sano e di buona qualità - la mia sola denuncia era la dimensione delle porzioni - massiccia! Troppo per essere onesta, e parecchi cibo andava indietro in cucina. Le due tavole, entrambe le parti, e noi stessi inclusi, dicevano che il cibo era bello, ma le porzioni ingrandite e purtroppo non potevamo finire i principali corsi. Per il nostro soggiorno di una notte, Seacote era ok, ma non ritornerò per un “trattamento” o un soggiorno più lungo.

I'd read the Tripadvisor reviews before we went and they're pretty accurate. The building is very run down but could be stunning in the right hands. The room was spacious but dated. The ensuite looked as though it was from the 80s but was useable although there was quite a lot of dust on skirting boards, lamps, etc and a cork from a bottle left on the bedroom floor. We stayed for two nights. On the first evening, the food was excellent. On day two, the breakfast was disappointing as the hash brown was soggy and the toast hadn't been toasted long enough to give it any colour. On the second evening, our dinner was disappointing, but breakfast on the second morning was excellent with crispy hash browns and properly cooked toast. I can only assume they have two chefs, one of whom is very frugal with the gas/electricity. On the first evening, we were served mainly by Alana. She was excellent. Once she'd served us drinks she regularly checked whether we wanted another and remembered what we were drinking. She was polite and attentive with all the guests as was her colleague. Unfortunately, she and that colleague were not working on our second evening when there were long waits at the bar when the staff on duty were sitting on a settee in the reception area, oblivious to the growing queue of impatient guests. I had to request a steak knife when my steak arrived which seemed to surprise the person serving and I heard the guest at the next table asking the same server for a steak knife for her steak about ten minutes after my request. The sandwiches on arrival were a piece of meat on bread - no salad. The soup was tasty and warm, but not hot. However, on the day we requested a packed lunch, we were offered salad in the sandwiches which was appreciated. The packed lunches on day two comprised a bag of crisps, sandwiches and a pack of two biscuits. A drink would have been appreciated. Would I go again? Yes. We went on an all inclusive deal. It was certainly value for money and verged on entertaining at times.

Tricky to review this place as you get what you pay for, and it was 'ok' but given the reviews on here I was expecting a lot better. Personally I wouldn't stay again but have gone with 3/5 to try to be fair. The rooms are above a noisy pub and when I stayed looked like they were having roof problems as there was tarpaulin and buckets all over the roof outside the window. Thr room itself was spacious but a real paradox - in some ways very nicely decorated and maintained but in others pretty tatty/poorly thought through. For example, one bed was across the front of the wardrobe making it unuseable. The kettle had no socket anywhere near it to enable it to be used, and one of the lamps appeared to be shorting out, flashing on and off. The bathroom was similarly odd, with decent quality material but a tap that refused to get warm and a shower tray that moved when standing on it, feeling like it was about to give way. There was also various noises (fans running?) periodically throughout the night that were enough to keep waking me, and give some pretty poor nights sleep. Although the bed was advertised as Super King, it was actually 2 singles pushed together, which is a pet hate as it it both uncomfrotable and significantly shorter than a King/Super King. No toiletries were provided in the room despite being included in the listing and was told they had none when asking about this. I stayed two nights and there was no servicing of the room either.

While on a three week UK vacation I was booked here for three nights to celebrate my birthday and what a gift it was! Although undergoing a renovation, the manor was awesome! I was fortunate to have a room at the end of the hall, overlooking the courtyard, a field of sheep and a view of the sea! It was serene and peaceful. The entire staff, especially Barry, were so welcoming, attentive and friendly! I rarely rate 5 star and Hunday Manor deserves it.
