Extremely clean tidy and very well kept hotel. Very friendly and efficient owner, very effective staff. Small owner run hotel. Adequate car parking very close to front door, with nice wide spaces. Food breakfast and eve meal is excellent very nicely presented and high quality food at a reasonable price. Lovely old building with character. Very close to Cockermouth town centre which is 2 mins walk away. Within 30-45 mins drive of Buttermere, Ennerdale, Loweswater, Seathwaite and Keswick for a wide range of fell walking. This is one of the best, nicest hotels I have stayed in.

My Room No. 9 on the second floor only had a veluxe roof window so had a view of the sky only. This did not matter to me, but might matter to others.

The staff were friendly and excellent. The bar was well-stocked and the beer garden tidy and peaceful. The room was clean and quiet, and we got extra pillows and towels on request. It's a nice, short walk to the river and to Main Street, or up to the supermarket. The room (the attic room with a skylight) was perfectly sized for one person with a large case, or two people with small cases; it's a little small for two large suitcases. The bathroom was clean, had a fan, and had quite possibly the best water pressure I've ever experienced, but the shower was very small (people over 6'/1.83m will have to duck to wash their hair). The skylight could do with a blind to block the light in the early mornings in summer. For particularly hot weather, a thin blanket would be a good replacement for the duvet as the room has a standing fan but (obviously) no air conditioning, and it can get a little close at night. We would happily stay there again for the service, the comfort, and the picturesque setting, as well as the very reasonable price.

The breakfasts were excellent. The full English was huge and delicious; including fine Cumberland sausage in its home county. I had the scrambled egg and smoked salmon one morning which was great too. There's also muesli and fruit. The staff are unfailingly friendly and helpful and the owner went out of her way to sort out a problem entirely of my own making, which was well beyond what I could have reasonably asked.

I can honestly say we did not find anything to object to.

What a grand old building, set back from the main street in Cockermouth. There is a private car park at the front which was very useful. The sweeping staircase and lots of oak gave a really nice impression as we checked in. This was a friendly and smooth transaction. Our room on the first floor was lovely and quiet except for the birds singing which was great. The bathroom and some fitments within it were a little dated, however the over bath shower was hot and powerful and the towels were lovely and fluffy, so couldn't ask for more than that. Breakfast was plentiful and very tasty indeed - really good quality. While there, I left a small item in the room and when we contacted the hotel the next day, they agreed to send it back to me. Very kind of them - hope it arrives. :-)

Not a dislike at all, just a mention - due to us staying on a Sunday evening the hotel bar was closed, so we weren't able to sample an aperitif there before our event. This would have been nice to soak up the atmosphere of such a fine old building.

I was visiting friends who couldn't put me up but the Manor House was the perfect place to stay. I had a single room with bathroom on the top floor which had everything I needed and was very clean and comfortable. The skylight window was fine, given that I was out all day and most of the evening. The breakfast was ideal for someone who doesn't eat a cooked breakfast (muesli, fruit salad, yoghurt, warmed croissant...) and all the staff I met were friendly, welcoming and helpful. The location of the hotel is perfect - right in the town centre but with plenty of parking.

Access to the top floor is a slight concern given the steep and narrow staircase - I would worry about escape in the event of a fire. The walls are maybe a bit thin - I could hear people in the next room but it wasn't a problem.

The Hotel is in a perfect location. We had a lovely room at the front of hotel with a great balcony. Room a little bit dated but that adds to the charm. Lovely little garden area and great little cozy bar. So clean and comfortable. Staff were all so nice and couldn't do enough for you. Just a walk up the street of an evening and plenty of bars that are friendly and relaxing with live entertainment on. Lovely little Tea Rooms local too. The Turkish Restaurant is the best we've eaten in. Highly recommend it.

Would have been nice with a walk in shower instead of having to climb into the bath. But that is the only obstacle for me.

Perfectly situated just at the edge of town centre with off road parking. We stayed last year in the same room and delighted that it had been redecorated with new carpet and very good shower since then. Excellent breakfast quality and choice from fresh fruit salad to full English. I chose specific items eg poached egg, mushroom and tomato for a lighter meal.

All rooms appear to be upstairs and could be awkward for less able people with large bags. Thought the staff could

The hotel has an excellent location, close to the centre and the Sea to Sea Cycle route. We were warmly welcomed by Kane on reception. Secure bike storage is provided. Our room was spacious, with a beautiful ensuite and the comfortable bed. We ate in the lounge bar- again a very relaxing room offering small plates from the restaurant menu which were delicious and well presented. The staff were kind, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent and had good vegetarian options including a delicious leek and cheese “ sausage” I hadn’t come across before. We’ll stay again if we have the opportunity.

Nothing.

Plenty of car parking right outside the hotel. I arrived late but the member of staff was very helpful. I had an early start the next day and the staff gave me a continental breakfast to take with me. My room was a single on the top floor. Comfortable, quiet and everything working in the room. The shower was powerful and plenty of hot water. The TV worked well and was clean. The WiFi was efficient. Good value for money. Thank you.

One thing was missing. The skylight window didn`t have a blind.

Lovely Grade II List building, many original features. Staff very nice, run more like a B&B than a hotel. Generally the place was clean. Overall, it was nice, warm, very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was great, as was the service.

The room was small and cramped on the second floor, with no lift it was a bit of a struggle with luggage. In the room the wardrobe selves were dusty, the hair dryer didn't work and the shower head was full of thick black mould. Parking was a little squeezed at times, though booked with parking, the restaurant does attract incoming diners, who take up valuable space.
