A bed for the night but needs a refurb

This venue is crying out for a refurbishment. The decor is showing age and the bedrooms are in dire need of modernisation, particularly the en-suite. Parking is extremely limited on site with only 6 spaces. I was told the cost could be added to my bill and a space would be reserved. However, when returning after a day out, no space reserved and no space to park. A member of staff advised parking blocking others and sort it in the morning. I was told at checkout that the parking couldnt be added to the bill. Breakfast basic but service seemed unprepared with some cooked items missed and no milk for cereals or hot drinks for a good 10 minutes into service. Overall i found this hotel noisey and heard all guests movements down corridors, ive had better sleep and peace in a premier inn!

Good location with access to both bays. It is, however, an up hill climb. The hotel in parts is a little dated. Our room with sea view was quite compact and due to its size quite hot. We slept with windows open but that in turn made it quite noisy from the road below. Breakfast was nice. Staff very helpful.

Avoid like the plague; book the Premier Inn!

Definitely not as advertised ! Initial greeting of both hotel and staff was so abysmally disgusting that we walked straight back out and stayed at the lovely Premier Inn. No useable disabled parking, no accessible rooms and absolutely no professionalism or manners. Avoid at all costs DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!

The hotel and the staff were lovely. the hotel was undergoing renovations so a bit tatty in one of the rooms but clean. The views were stunning and worth the price! Breakfast was nice. Only complaint was the soundproofing I could hear everything from the room upstairs every creak, the couple talking and the snoring. It did taint my stay as I didn't sleep well because of it

Cheap & cheerful, clean & friendly, fab breakfast

The low prices reflect the experience here. The staff were all very helpful and attentive and the value for money is astonishing - the B&B price was unreal. The whole hotel could do with an update and the bed was really soft and not no my liking. The bar area looks like the furniture has been bought at about seven different warehouses. BUT - if you want somewhere thats OK, pretty clean, friendly, cheap and with a big breakfast selection then theres absolutely nothing wrong with the Norbreck Personally, I'd rather pay more next time I visit and stay in a more modern or developed hotel but there's really nothing to actually dislike about this place

Fabulous views across the Bay

Feom the moment we arrived the views were brilliant! Managed to park straight away in their small area. Staff were pleasant, breakfast lovely and lots of it. View from breakfast room was of the bay, brilliant. Bar and breakfast rooms clean. Our room was a standard double, views of the south bay from our room. Although the room and hotel, in general, are in need of updating, everything was clean and tidy. Goid job we love walking as was a bit of a walk to town and south bay, however over the weekend we found some shortcuts, which made it much quicker! Would definitely visit again. Signs around the hotel said updating was taking place this year.

Tired but OK, Great views of the North Bay

First of all car parking is an issue here. There are about 5 small and awkward car parking spaces on site which can be reserved for about £6.00 per day, for everyone else its on street park if you are lucky enough to find a space anywhere near the hotel. On street car parking permits can be purchased from the reception for daily rate of £5. Next location. The hotel is perched near the top of the hill / cliffs which gives great views across the North Bay but is good 10-15 walk to the beach or town center. Checking in was effortless and friendly. Our room was on the third floor and smaller the expected but the view across the bay excellent, pity there was no balcony to sit outside to enjoy the weather and views. Breakfast was distinctly average buffet breakfast, not great but not too bad. The whole hotel inside and out is tired and dated but there was a notice in the reception apologising and explaining that a lot of refurbishment work was scheduled throughout 2025. Staff were all friendly, helpful and professional.
