"Clean room."

The Golf Hotel

8/10 Good

"All good and hotel met expectations. Hotel is perhaps a little tired and in need of some refurbishment but rooms clean, beds comfortable and good shower, ideal for golf trip accommodation and reasonably priced. Only thing to watch out for is my room was next to the kitchen extractor fan that comes on at 7am so don’t expect a lie in if you are in room 6"

"We stayed just the one night. The staff were very friendly and eager to provide good service. We enjoyed a pleasant drink on the lovely patio overlooking the river followed by a tasty meal in the bar. Breakfast was excellent . Our room was fairly basic with quite a small ensuite . The WiFi was good. We were pleased with our stay which represented good value."

"Location is covent. Parking a plus."

Manor House Hotel Cockermouth

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve stayed at the Manor House many times on business and enjoyed it immensely. The owners are so warm and can’t do enough for you. The free parking is a boon and the breakfasts are excellent. It’s just a few paces to the centre of Cockermouth. I recommend the Jennings bar in the newly opened brewery. It’s a Mecca for real ale aficionados and the terrace overlooking the river is fab"
