Your comfort is our aim at this family-run hotel.

At a recent health inspection, we were awarded 4 stars by Cumbria Tourism.

Resting by the A66 motorway for Workington, The Hall Park Hotel self check in is situated opposite parkland and only a 2 minute walk from the town centre which has recently undergone a 45 million pound regeneration project. There are numerous golf courses nearby and we are a good base for the coast to coast cycle way.

The room was excellent. Clean, comfy and quiet. It was better than we expected. We spent lovely time there. I can not find any weakness of the Hotel. Brilliant staff, great place and amazing room :)

Dark haired lady on duty on our first night was lovely, friendly and very professional (apologies for not having a name). Contact via the app was good and the code access worked well. We enjoyed our stay.

Just a 6 min drive from the centre of Cockermouth sits this wonderful accommodation.

Graysonside offers some lovely apartments to suite every need from one bedroom units to two bedroom units.

Or if you prefer a delicious hot breakfast just pop into the main guest house ( hot breakfasts are charged extra.)

Breakfast was great. The owners was friendly, approachable and went out of their way to help others. I.e gave us a lift into town. Helpful information regarding places to go to I.e for food, social. Would definitely recommend, we will definitely book again. I would give this place 5 out of 5.

    Greeted at reception by friendly staff. Smooth check in. Beautiful, clean and comfortable room with facilities as listed. Staff in the bar and conservatory were welcoming. Bar had a good selection and we enjoyed our meal in the evening. Outdoor area had lovely views. Hotel was quiet. Great base for exploring the lakes. Check out was straight forward. Couldn’t fault the staff, the hotel, the location, the food or the drinks.

    I go to the melbreak regularly to meet friends. We always have a lovely meal, the staff are brilliant, very clean, restaurant is so chilled, food is always of a high standard. My favourite is the prawn pad thai. I recommend to everyone. Often stay on a weeknight or a Sunday, the room rates are reasonable and it's cheaper to stay than get a taxi.

    The location in the small village of Great Clifton is quiet and charming. I was pleasantly surprised that not once did we see a crowd of roistering boozers, to be honest. The rooms were clean, and the breakfasts were hearty! The dining room has a lovely ambience and decor. The staff are professional, warm, and hardworking people who are excellent with children, and very responsive to guests’ requests for help. Being locals, their knowledge of the Lake District and local bus timetables, etc., came in handy as well.
