Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests frequently appreciate the Cumberland Hotel's central location, which offers walkable access to the town, beach, and harbour. The rooms are generally considered comfy, and some have noted the showers' great size and pressure; though a few guests mentioned the rooms could benefit from a mini-fridge. The freshly cooked full English breakfast is a highlight for many, and convenient extras such as packed lunches add to the good value.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, always ready to assist. My room was super clean. The bed was VERY good. The location was excellent for exploring local attractions. The hotel provided a disc for on-street parking.

The room was cold. I had to turn on the radiator for a couple of hours. I could hear music at night from the function room below MY room. The coffee served at breakfast was instant coffee only.
