My stay in Maryport.

My accommodation was clean and comfortable, the staff were friendly and my breakfast was delicious. It was quite noisy in the evening as situated close to the town centre, but quiet after 12:30.

Generally lovely hotel just bedroom needs updating

Good- All the Staff are friendly and helpful Bar and restaurant areas are all decorated lovely Really great location just next to harbour and good view Good choice of food for breakfast and ordered and served to the table. Coffee and tea Fruit juice Cereal or tinned fruit Full English Toast Or crumpets All the general areas, toilets and bedrooms very clean Not so good- Our room needs redecorated ( room 6) Large stain on carpet and many marks on walls with very old shabby curtains and broken hairdryer Uncomfortable bed we needed to sleep on top of quilt but luckily there was large throw to use A couple of the chairs in breakfast area were uncomfortable with broken springs Just one small thing about breakfast - the toast was brought with the breakfast so no choice to have after and only butter /no jam etc if that’s what you’re expecting

A beautiful hotel walking distance to the little township. The staff are incredibly helpful and polite. The food is amazing and good value for money. It is certainly worthwhile visiting this cute little town when on a road trip of the north.

Bedbug infestation!

The first room I was given did not have working heating. They offered a room swap, which I did take them up on. The second room had bed bugs, which bit me three times! Then the third room also had bed bugs which bit me twice! Although I was offered new rooms, none of which were any better than the last. Also the noise from a local bar was extremely loud, especially in the last room. Something to note for other people staying here. Certainly would not recommend!!
