We stayed at the Norbreck Hotel for 7 nights and we had avery enjoyable stay. We had a wonderful view of the sea from our hotel window. The staff were extremely friendly and nothing that you asked of them was too much. Scott and Andrew the receptionists were both helpful and friendly. Not forgetting Pete. We would definitely stay at the Norbreck again. Thank you all for making our stay a pleasent one.

Nice hotel overlooking the sea

Clean room. We had the superior room with balcony. Beautiful view of the sea and coast. Very large room with king bed, sofa and table and chairs overlooking the sea. Does need updating but good price and staff friendly and accommodating. Very good breakfast buffet. Dogs aren't allowed in breakfast room, but we were allowed to eat it in the bar area with him. Great service from staff.

Very tired and in desperate need of upkeep. Most staff, while friendly and polite, were unkempt, in keeping with the general scruffiness of the hotel. Food was average. Shower was gravity fed, almost zero pressure. Walls are so thin you can hear everything from above and around you. Great location with fab views but you can't live off that alone!

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
