Top Whitehaven Hotel Reviews

The Grange Country House

The Grange Country House

10/10 Excellent
"This family run hotel is very comfortable and full of character. All the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. Great views of the surrounding hills. I really liked having access to fresh milk that we could take up our room to make tea. The room was well equipped- useful USB charging point on the wall beside the bedside table. Breakfast excellent - hot food cooked perfectly to order and a good selection of cereals, yoghurt, fruit etc at the buffet. The EV charger was very convenient. The hotel is not licensed but there is a cabinet in the lounge with a great selection of glasses that can be used with any drinks you bring in. All in all our lovely accommodation ensured we had a very enjoyable short break at the lakes. 😊"

The Bridge Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Quirky old inn with loads of character. Room was comfortable with a huge bed. Restaurant serves simple bar meals but well cooked and good portions. Good selection of draught beers and a decent wine list. Breakfast was delicious apart from my Vegetarian Eggs Benedict (that's what it said on the menu but isn't it really Eggs Florentine?) which was overly salty. It seems the muffin had been sprinkled with salt before the spinach and poached eggs were put on. I had to leave most of the muffin and have toast instead. A pity because without the salt extravaganza it would have been perfect. I would have mentioned it if anyone had asked if everything was ok which is usual practice but didn't happen here. Small quibble but would return as everything else was enjoyable and the location is excellent."

"Really nice staff. Peter was especially helpful putting something I’d left on one side until I could return and pick it up. The hotel is pretty big running along several Georgian houses. The room was very large and very well modernised As a hotel they don’t serve breakfast but that’s not an issue as several nearby places do. It’s located on a lovely spot - probably the best area to see Cockermouth . I’d thoroughly recommend it"
