The location was fabulous and 1 member of staff helpful. Had to change rooms - first room TV didn’t work, 3 hours of messing around trying to sort it. Second room I did check but assumed the windows would close so didn’t try them. Bathroom not at all, bedroom didn’t shut fully. Skip outside that meant the seagulls never left it alone. Hallways dirty and unclean

Not sure what to say. If you want retro this is the place. States parking, for five cars which seems to be all reserved.

Good location. Average hotel.

We had a nice stay at The Norbreck. The location was good and it had a fantastic view looking over the North bay. Parking is a bit of an issue, as the hotel only has spaces for a few cars. We parked on the road luckily quite close and the hotel gives you a parking permit to display which costs £5 for two days. You could easily end up parked up quite a distance from the place. The location is also good for walking from, if you go round the back and through the church yard it's not far to walk to the South Bay beach. We walked around the headland which takes much longer and came up by the church which didn't take long at all. Breakfast was satisfactory, it would improve things if they had two toast makers as you needed to send bread through twice to get it toasted and a queue formed quite quickly, even though it wasn't particularly busy. The staff were friendly but sometimes unobtainable. When we checked out there was no clear instructions on where to put the key but also no one around to ask. Several people in front of us in the queue for reception just put their key on the counter and walked away. We did the same. A box on the counter for a key drop would have felt more secure. Overall it was ok for the one night we stayed.

It was just me and my son for an overnight stay. I hadn't paid for a sea view room and ended up with a large corner ensuite room with free tea/coffee,(Kettle). When we left the room the door wouldn't lock so went to reception to report it,in the meantime I went to get my car as I'd got a space in the hotel car park (very limited spaces £6.00 for the night).Back at the hotel they gave us another room a sea view with no extra charge. The following morning we had a buffet breakfast, (which was very nice),with the dining room looking out to sea and the bay.I definitely would stop there again.

Lovely Location

Great location; very old and tired hotel (think 1970's social club decor and toilets in the pub/concert room). Bedroom was very clean, albeit small. Although I understand every hotel and business in the area need to make their money but charging £200+ a night just because there is a concert in town is rather steep and left a lump in my throat.. the normal rate of £75 is correct for this hotel!

We stayed for one night to attend a concert nearby. I'd booked a while ago and was a little dubious reading some of the recent reviews. The hotel has a great location and is as you'd expect a Victorian seaside hotel to be, a little dated but that's part of the charm. The hotel boasts commanding views over the bay and close to the castle. We had 2 rooms booked, both were spacious, clean and seemed to have new furniture. The staff were lovely. There's minimal parking, but we managed to park nearby. Overall the hotel was ideal.

Unhappy stay

The room you see when you book isnt the room you get. False advertising. The paint in the bedroom was peeling. The carpet had stains and was old and dirty. The bathroom radiator was hanging of the wall. The bathroom floor wasn't clean. Cobwebs in the recess of the bathroom window. An absolute disgrace for the money.

Avoid!!!!

Avoid this hotel! Very old and in need of major TLC and a deep clean. Mouldy bread at breakfast, moody staff and dirty bathroom - so much so we checked out at 9am in the morning desperate to get to our next destination so we could have a shower - there was no way we were using the shower in this place!

Very Disappointing

I booked a superior twin room, chaotic arrival, staff unsure of what they were doing. Given a room, on entry it was a double not a twin. The recptionist organised the change whilst we sat in the lounge, another member of staff dumped duvets and bedsheets on the floor near us. Then a different memeber of staff a few minutes later, sweating, picked them up and almost blamed us for his inconvenience if having to change the room to the one we ordered. Walking to the room there was a large paint pot and roller in the hallway. The 'superior twin' was on the first floor just by the hallway, able to hear conversations outside, in the hallway and in other rooms, including snoring at night. One of the hand towels had faint red stains on, did not want to enquire further on that. The best thing about this hotel was the view, which you can stand outside and get for free.
