"Such a beautiful hotel in an amazing location. Felt like luxury after a hard day hiking. Superbly helpful staff and a very comfortable room."

"My wife and I recently stayed here (April 28, 2026). The check-in process was quick and easy and the young lady checking me in was helpful and professional. The restaurant and 24-hour bar area near the check-in was filled with construction workers as was their vehicles (I have nothing against construction workers, I am just describing my experience). The downstairs area seemed dark and dingy and in need of a facelift. Upon receiving our room key, we proceeded to the third floor and opened our room. The flooring was vinyl laminate and the room was small. The flooring was extremely sticky as if alcohol or soda had been spilled. The floors had not been mopped or cleaned prior to our arrival. The bathroom door had a strip of black mold running along the bottom and the bathroom floor and shower area all ran together. I opted to leave the window open to try and let fresh air in since the room smelled of mold and was musky. What a mistake that was. I forgot the bar downstairs was open 24-hours. Throughout the night, men were heard arguing, fighting, and vomiting loudly non-stop. Then around 4am, the men decided to see who could bark like a dog the loudest. It sounded like a dog pound outside. My wife asked me why were there dogs fighting outside at 4am and I explained to her it was humans, not dogs. I the United States, we have a hotel chain called motel 6. If you want a cheap room with no amenities and probably not the cleanest, you go to motel 6. This is worse than motel 6."

"Fantastic nights sleep. Hotel was immaculate. Parking was available at the rear of the hotel - make sure your sat nav doesn’t take you to the front like mine did. Hotel staff helped with directions when I contacted them."

"Yes beautiful"

"The room was very clean and tidy. Breakfast was great i will stay there again"

"We just had an overnight stay at The Cumbria Park Hotel, it was very pleasant. Very welcoming reception area. Booked in straight away, we were a little early but the room was ready. The room was well presented, which looked as though it had been recently redecorated. We had our evening meal in the restaurant, which had a nice atmosphere, the staff were very attentive and the food was very good. Spoilt for choice at breakfast from fresh fruit, cold meats and cheese, pastries or a full Cumbrian breakfast. Again beautifully presented, clean and fresh. A lot of time and money has been spent, an excellent hotel, all the staff were helpful, plenty of parking. We would definitely stay there again."

"Great stay, very pleasant staff, excellent breakfast"

"Great stop if travelling through"

"We stayed overnight and had dinner and breakfast on the morning of departure. Anyone with mobility issues needs to be careful about which room they book, of those in the castle I think that there are a couple on the first floor, accessed by a fairly grand staircase. The rest require a climb up a narrow and steep spiral staircase. The room we stayed was up said spiral staircase and was spacious and clean, well furnished and with a large en-suite. The lady on reception provided a great welcome and helped during our stay, special mention also goes to the lady who gave us and other guests a castle tour. In terms of dining we found a limited menu and an incapacity to vary it in the slightest. Also the staff were less than attentive."
