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.

The hotel is amazing and the location is fantastic. Loved the quietness of the beach but be aware there are not many facilities in the village itself although what is there is adequate. The staff were lovely and friendly and helpful. The food was great and the bar, which is also open to the public, is very good with a lovely beer garden with a sea view.

The room was very good in many aspects, a good size, tv, tea and coffee etc and spacious. The ensuite bathroom was of a good size and no complaints regarding cleanliness in either the bedroom or bathroom. However, the mattress was terrible and desperately needs replacing. When you sat on the bed, or turned over you hit the base of the divan bed which did not constitute a good nights sleep. It was August and warm when we stayed and therefore you needed the windows open but there is machinery noise all night long outside the room and therefore the choice was stay awake due to noise or close the windows and put up with being too warm.

Upon arrival we received a warm and friendly reception. Our room was spacious, well furnished and scrupulously clean, The bathroom was also very well appointed. In fact the room provided everything required for a comfortable stay and a good night's sleep. The building itself is quite old but much of it has been most tastefully re-furbished to a very high standard and the work is continuing. The breakfast offered was very good with a wide choice of hot and cold food. The restaurant provided a good choice of dishes in the evening, the quality was excellent and the quantity would satisfy the largest appetite. The bar was reasonably well stocked and certainly a comfortable place in which to spend some time. However, undoubtedly the best feature of this hotel was the staff. They were friendly, cheerful and nothing was too much trouble.

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 staff were lovely, the breakfast was hot, tasty and quick with lots of variety. They catered for my dairy intolerance with no fuss. However, it was spotless, no fault could be found in how clean the rooms were. The location was brilliant, only a minute or two walk at the back of the property was the seafront. What a beautiful seaside, even if it was blustery, overcast with showers. We was also very close to the castle and miniature stream train.

The rooms were in need of updating and were looking tired but that was reflected in the price.
