The staff are all so welcoming and friendly. The bar area is comfortable and the garden has fantastic views if the beach and the sunset. I booked solely for the location being close to scafell pikes wasdale route but not too expensive and it was perfect for that. A lovely scenic drive to wasdale which took less than 30 minutes.

There is not a lot for this section. The building is of an age where work is needed to update but this did not impact the enjoyment of my stay. Having information around the hotel was interesting to learn the history

The location is really nice. The lobby, dining area, and sitting area are highly aesthetic in design and show a lot of colours and history. The back garden and car park facilities are really good. Seaview is amazing. Loved the warmth and welcome as well as responsiveness of staff. Breakfast and tea were delightful.

Didn't dislike anything. However, the room was okay but could have been better in terms of lighting, decore, a cleaner look - the way it's shown in pictures on Booking.com. Bathroom/toilet was nice and clean.

Close to beach, ample parking, nice staff. Good fun at the bar with darts and pool.

Excellent breakfast, lots of choice. Room was just what we wanted - maybe a chair to look out of the window and see the stunning view. Beds were so comfortable and no noise! Loved the beer garden and small walk to the beach. The decor in the newly renovated part, bar and dining area was beautiful. Love the wall paper. Overall a pleasant stay in a very interesting Georgian House. Owners where fabulous.

My own opinion is that it wouldn't harm to look behind doors and movable furniture to see if it needs cleaning. Windows in some of the property could have been cleaner, however when by the sea and windy days I'm sure you are very rarely on top of it. Can't fault really.

On arrival in Cumbria from Sussex, my two daughters and I arrived at our original accommodation to find that it had been double-booked. Tired and stressed and already late in the evening, we made a new reservation with Calder House Hotel. We were given such a warm welcome, as well as a beautiful family room, which was very clean, very well equipped and very comfortable. Calder House Hotel's owner Elaine and her staff were incredibly friendly, kind and helpful and gave us a wonderful stay! They even suggested putting a mini fridge in our room so that after we returned from climbing Scalfell Pike (our reason for going to Cumbria), our food would be fresh. We accepted this very kind offer. Calder House Hotel has got a rich history - it used to be a school for girls - and is situated right on the beach. The breakfast/dining room has views out onto the fabulous beer garden and the beach, which is accessed via a gate at the bottom of the garden. In all, thanks to Elaine and her staff, we ended up having a wonderful stay and a stress-free climb up Scalfell Pike's Corridor Route! We will be paying a return visit!

We’ve dined here before while holidaying in the area, so when visiting family nearby, we decided to stay, and I’m so glad we did. The building itself is gorgeous, full of character and history (once a school, which adds to its charm). Whilst the room was simple, it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. But what really stood out were the staff and the food. Every member of the team was friendly and welcoming. Meals were excellent and well-prepared, just what you want after a day exploring. A lovely place with real heart. We’d happily return.

This was a little 3 night break so we could do some hiking over the Easter bank holliday. Calder house was absolutely stunning and full of breathtaking history. This place has a snooker table!!! What an absolute magical place and town. Access to the beach through the rear of property where amazing memories were made. The staff and owners are undoubtedly the friendliest I have ever met. The food was just so tasty and fresh. The atmosphere in the bar where locals and guests just chat and have fun.. bring a dog BRING 10 this place makes everything happen. I can't speak highly enough. You have to see to believe.

Having to leave.

The location was lovely, overlooking the beach, just a couple of minutes walk. The area was clean also. Ample car parking. There is a good size bar and seating area for socialising or small quiet private areas if you need it. You can have your food in the bar area, the restaurant or on the patio or beer garden. There is a full size snooker table in its own designated room with a tv. We had a lovely sea view room, quite large and spacious. Very clean, the linen and towels smelt fresh. Comfortable double bed. Plenty of room for luggage in a large built in wardrode, with an Iron/Ironing board, hair dryer, coat hangers etc and a fan heater (not that you will need to use that!) Large flat TV with a good signal Free WiFi also with a good signal Good size bathroom with a large walk in shower that worked great and clean Plenty of tea & coffee in the room with a good size kettle Lovely and quiet Large lawned area/beer garden The freindly staff couldn't do enough for you. We asked for a couple of special requests and were catered for straight away. You could easily see that a lot of hard work, love and affection is put in by the staff to make your stay memorable.

We couldn't find anything not to like.

We had such a lovely stay at this hotel! From the moment we arrived the staff were brilliant, so friendly and informative about the surrounding areas. Originally we planned to stay one night but we ended up staying two nights! It’s also extremely dog friendly. The rooms were so clean, cosy and had everything you needed for your stay. The garden is just beautiful with amazing views of the stunning beach which is a 2 minute walk from the hotel. Breakfast was also lovely, it was nice to help yourself to the tea and coffee facilities and enjoy a nice cuppa in the garden in the morning! Highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone, also a recommend visiting the stunning lake wastwater which is a 20 minute drive away! Thank you to all the staff for your friendly welcome and a great stay!

The lady who checked us in was really welcoming and was expecting us. The room had a beautiful view and had everything we needed. When we went for breakfast in the morning, the lady serving was really friendly and we could hear her with the other guests. Nothing was too much trouble and she made sure my daughter had everything she wanted. Would definitely stay there again. Thank you.
