The Norbreck Hotel by Compass Hospitality

The Norbreck Hotel by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good
"On a positive note, the staff were excellent. We were given a room on the third floor, room 305. The view was excellent. Although we think the room was decorated not too long ago, the paint work was very tatty around the door frame. On the room instructions it said to dial 0 for Reception but that proved difficult as there was no phone in the room. There was no point asking for one because the socket was broken. In some places the hotel was a little tired. The breakfast was good and well catered for regarding food intolerances. That being said we would stay here again."

"The room was clean the staff were helpful. The view wasn't great but the room was only for sleeping in so the view didn't matter, everything was in working order, there were tea making facilities in the room also an iron, ironing board and hair dryer and there was a fan in case it got too warm all in all it was a pleasant experience 😀"

"If its snug you want Room 01 is the place to head for. I know walkers and ramblers don’t mind being in small spaces but even a manx cat when being swung would suffer from the impact this room makes. It’s a double bed in a single room. Problem? Not if you don’t mind your arse sticking out the window! Why is this a problem? Room 01 is on the ground floor with bier garden tables right outside the window. Still it makes parking your bike easy."

"Lovely hotel and staff were first class. I would rate a 5*, but for two things: -No air conditioning in the bedrooms in the main hotel. I believe this is planned at some stage. - we had the snug room on the top floor. Lovely room and big bathroom. But it had 4 velux windows and so no view. Not a major problem as we only stayed for a short 2 night break. However the real problem was at night, when heavy rain made us feel we were in a drum. So sleep deprived both nights. It is worth paying a bit more for a room on the first or second floors. Martin Hill"

"Room was very outdated and small, window was next to a brick wall. But clean, new bathroom, comfortable bed. Good restaurant and bar, but absolute chaos at breakfast due to sheer numbers, but staff were present and helpful maintaining supplies. Parking in surrounding area was easy and cheap. A proper old-fashioned seaside hotel but with modern facilities - excellent value for money."
