Cumbria Park Hotel

The only thing we really liked was the building from the outside and the staff were very friendly.

The reception area looks to of been modernised but that’s where it seems to end. We checked in, went to our room and as soon as we opened the door we were pretty disappointed. We had booked a superior double, if it was a superior double that we had been given i wouldn’t of liked to see a basic one. I asked my hubby to go and shut the windows because the noise from the very busy road outside was so loud, to which he replied ‘they’re already shut!’ The room felt very dull and tired, there was some fairly nice wallpaper but that was about the only decent bit of the room. The carpet had a big rip in it, the bathroom was covered with mould on the silicone in the bath area, the walls were paper thin. Every time someone in one of the near by rooms went in or out of their room the sound of the doors banging was awful. We thought they may’ve just not been very careful about shutting it, but it was virtually impossible to shut them quietly. Needless to say, as soon as we could, we headed back out of the hotel and into town. We were going to a concert at the sands centre (which is around a 10min walk away, so dead handy) so we went into town got some tea and then a couple of drinks before the concert. We didn’t sleep well at all, although the road quietened down at night, it was still fairly busy. Other people going into their rooms and banging the doors woke us. The couple in the adjacent room to us had a huge argument at one point (I know that’s not the hotels fault but it was like they were in our room with us!) anytime someone above or next door to us went to the loo it sounded like they were in our room too. Breakfast was pretty average, the staff were very welcoming and really pleasant to talk to but the food wasn’t amazing.
