the cumbrian hotel

The host was such a lovely, kind lady. There were complimentary bottles of water, snacks and tea/coffe and, even though my daughter was 15, she was given extra chocolate which she loved. The room was clean and smelt of washing powder and the small basket if toiletries was a nice touch. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Very helpful and pleasant lady made us very welcome

Perfect location. Host was lovely. This was our 2nd time staying here. Will be returning next year.

They didn't do any food even though it's advertised outside the property

The owner was really nice, couldn't do enough, she has out out loads of snacks and bottles if water.
The bed was amazing. Ive got a bad back so used to hotel beds being bad but this bed was amazing, the mattress was soft and rhe bedding perfect. I slept the best I have in ages.

It's location

The property was very clean and welcoming. We were welcomed by Decem who was very pleasant and friendly. We spent some time chatting with her and enjoyed the stories she told. She provided snacks and drinks in reception FOC and was happy to help with any requests.

Very friendly owner, ideal location for tower/winter gardens etc

Owner is an absolutely lovely lady, who takes real pride in making guests welcome. She couldn't have been more helpful. Even offers free water & snacks. Our rooms were spacious, clean & comfortable. Perfect location, too. Very close to the shops & seafront. We will certainly be returning next time we visit Blackpool.

An easy check in and check out after a good night sleep. Good size room and bed

Clean, tidy and warm. Very friendly welcome when I arrived.

Lovely property £10 per car parking for the time we where there, the owner was lovely and made us feel all at home. Rooms cost and spotless with tea/coffee making facilities. Free water and snacks on bar was a lovely touch. Thank you for a lovely stay and see you soon!x

Our stay was delightful, and it was evident that the establishment was exceptionally well-managed. The owner went above and beyond, providing some extra treats for the kids, which was a lovely surprise. We received a warm and inviting welcome upon arrival, which immediately set a positive tone for our visit. The room itself was beautifully maintained—spotlessly clean and thoughtfully arranged, making it a comfortable and enjoyable space to relax in.

The lady who ran it

We booked the Cumbrian Hotel as a last-minute stay in Blackpool as we were going to a show in the evening and didn’t want to face the huge amount of traffic on the way home, especially as the lights had just been switched on the day before.

After searching on Booking.com for a number of days beforehand, hoping to come across a little gem, we had almost given up as the prices were high and many of the hotels and guesthouses available looked overpriced and unclean, judging by the TripAdvisor reviews and previous guests’ photos. I’m still unsure when cleanliness became a luxury when booking a hotel or guesthouse.

It just so happened that I checked again on the morning of the show and came across the Cumbrian Hotel, which had a family room available at a good price. Most importantly, the TripAdvisor reviews and photos showed a clean, well-kept, and cared-for guesthouse. We went ahead and booked for the night at what we felt was a reasonable price.

After making the booking, I contacted the hotel and asked if it would be possible to drop our bags off slightly earlier, explaining that I understood our room wouldn’t be available until 3 pm. The lovely lady on the phone insisted she would do her very best to make sure our room was ready as early as possible and encouraged us to arrive whenever was convenient for us.

As we approached the area, we referred to the picture from the Booking.com website to try and spot the property amongst the rows upon rows of guesthouses. The picture displayed the guesthouse with an outdoor canopy, which we were using as our reference point. After struggling for a minute, I contacted the property, and December, the wonderful owner, kindly came outside to greet us as we were only a few metres away.

When we arrived, December was so warm and welcoming to myself, my partner, and my children. I explained that we were using the photo from Booking.
