What a gem of a hotel this is. Had a lovely sea view single room that was comfortable and spacious. Bed was lovely and comfortable. It is right by a bus stop and close to all amenities. Three theatres nearby and a short walk to the town and the pier. I can't comment on the dining as didn't eat there and also can't comment on parking as travelled by train. The staff were lovely too,

The hotel has a great location on the seafront yet near to restaurants and bars in town . Staff were lovely. Our room however, although clean really needed the furniture updating. It was also far too hot but on request we were pleased to have a fan provided which helped. It was great to have a side sea view. We didn’t eat there but the bar service was good.

The hotel was spotlessly clean and the staff were brilliant. There was renovation work going on in the hotel next door which caused noise. Because of the age of the hotel there were some very creaky floorboards, both in our room and the room above us.

The hotel staff cannot do enough for you, very friendly and efficient. My room was basic, but thats what i paid for. Clean and fresh room, with beach view, plenty big enough for 1 person, which is what i booked. Thankful to all staff, and that there is a lift, as i was on the 4th floor! Perfect stay and great range of breakfast! Many thanks to all at the Cumberland!😁
Perfect space for single visitors

Really friendly staff, so accomodating and the hotel manager was lovely. Unfortunately there was only one room in the window which had been blocked so that it would only open 5 inches max. It meant our room was unbearably hot and stuffy from lack of ventilation.
