Parkside Hotel

What can I say about this place what the hell went wrong we used to go all the time since theres new owners in there its gone well down hill .food was shocking and burnt and the service was bad we booked at table for my daughters 18th birthday they never said nothing to her wish her a happy birthday or nothing made us feel really uncomfortable we left after the meal very bland we definitely won't be going back

Warm hospitality, perfect location for hiking, gorgeous scenery, lovely food and drinks all at fair prices....what more could you ask for! Would recommend and would definitely go again. Thank you to all @ Parkside for a lovely stay......

Outstanding and surpassing expectations. Upon our arrival at Parkside, my wife, two children, and I were uncertain about what to anticipate. However, any uncertainties we had were quickly dispelled. The venue was both traditional and immaculate, and the landscape was breathtaking. John, the manager, greeted us with a smile and a great deal of hospitality upon our arrival. The accommodations was immaculate, and we were able to check in without any issues. We reached out to John on numerous occasions during our stay to enquire about potential trekking routes and points of interest. John was delighted to contribute his expertise and offer his assistance. He was eager to assist, and it did not appear that he regarded us as demanding. He was generally willing to help. Although John was frequently preoccupied with restaurant duties, he consistently made time for a brief conversation and appeared at ease, despite the fact that he was responsible for ministering to a large number of individuals. The chief is an expert in his field, and the cuisine was exceptional. The prices are also very reasonable, with the two meals for £20.00 during the week being exceptional value. The breakfast was exceptional, and the waiting times were acceptable. I would also suggest the carbonara, as it was very nice. In conclusion, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will not hesitate to return. The Parkside hotel was clean, warm, and inviting, with outstanding customer service. The locals were friendly, the cuisine was delicious, and the views were phenomenal.

Spot on stay all be it a short one as we arrived late in afternoon, meals were spot on staff friendly, beds comfy and breakfast again really nice, thanks to the staff that were in that cleaned up after my elderly dad had a bad turn being sick (dehydrated) from a long day at golf

Not really one for writing reviews but we feel this really deserves it. First time we’ve been since the new chef has been in and what a difference. Absolutely fantastic Sunday lunch meal. Staff exceptional, the chef came out to chat with customers and you couldn’t meet a nicer guy. Fantastic food, great staff, unreal value (kids eat free on a Sunday) this will be our new regular place. Amazing all round.

We stayed at Parkside Hotel, Cleator Moor, while walking the Coast to Coast Walk (organised by Contours). Lovely hotel. The hotel's football team had just won their division so the bar was jumping when we arrived - it would usually be much quieter. The manager / chef / head barman Matthew was very efficient coping with what might have been their busiest night of the year. Great dinner, great breakfast & Matthew even organised packed lunches for us.

Went for meal through the day as 2 couples,celebrating an upcoming birthday .From the minute we stepped into the hotel,the staff were friendly, and the service was great from them all.Head chef was front of house,( only been there 5 weeks) and he was great to talk to, advise on the menu and came to chat,served our meals,and introduced us to the comi chef who had freshly cooked our food - which was superb,all 3 courses.We will definitely be back as we are local to the area 😀

The food was amazing, compliments to Matt the chef… and Lauren was a great help in our task to get drunk… all in all, very accommodating, I’ll definitely be back as the service and food quality (especially for the price) is unmatchable in this local area!

The hotel is situated next to a main road with lots of noise if you are staying at the front of the property. The staff were friendly and the room was clean. The poor bit for me was that there was little phone reception and the Internet does not work. I addressed this at the time and was politely told that the Internet is poor, poor I think meant non existent. Not recommended for people on business. Parking is limited but lots of street parking available.
