Cumbria Grand Hotel

From the warmest of welcomes, it was lovely to stay at the Grand. We were exceptionally fortunate to be in the lovely Morecambe Bay room as booked, and enjoyed the views across the bay from the duel aspect windows. The room is spacious, which we truly appreciated as we had our old girl (Greyhound) staying with us. The team were welcoming in the dining areas, we had two rooms for eating when our dog was with us, or we could eat in the dining room without her. Food was plentiful, and varied, and the staff on this team were also fabulous. We would definitely be back to stay again.

A grand old hotel with, what I would describe as, faded charm. Renovation works are clearly going on slowly but surely. It remains so many beautiful period features that jark back to the glory days of such hotels in the Lake District. It's location is okay with Grange and easily walkable distance away. The room was to a sufficient standard but would benefit from a refresh of the fixtures and fittings. This is the case with the hotel in general though I have to say it did not detract in any way from the enjoyment of our stay. If anything it added to the charm of the place. The bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed a very good night's rest. I would recommend the hotel to anyone wishing to stay in the area, just temper your expectations and revel in it's period grandeur and charm A thoroughly enjoyable stay which we would be happy to repeat at anytime.

Location was convenient, with plenty of parking spaces and only a short walk or drive into town. Views from this very elegant building were lovely and the gardens well maintained. The buffet style food we had in the evening was acceptable for the price paid and the buffet breakfast was very good. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. Overnight stay very competitive with other establishments in the vicinity.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel decor is very tired, but it looks like works are ongoing to maintain. Bedroom wallpaper was peeling, but I'm not marking it down for that because everything was so clean. The mattress in my single room was incredibly comfy, and the blackout curtains were a treat. It's probably the best nights sleep I've had in ages!!

The grounds are amazing, the staff are friendly and welcoming, especially Thomas who took the time to chat to my daughter which she really enjoyed. The breakfast was brilliant with a wonderful room to eat in that never felt over crowded and the family room was a good size with a clean bathroom.
