This is a lovely little hotel. Yes the décor is a bit dated ,and the lift is a bit slow and creaky, and the TV is terrestrial channels only. But the food is excellent for a 3 star hotel, and the service is quick and efficient. The ballroom is beautiful, one of the best floors anywhere. The rooms are clean... More

Made a last minute booking to stay here for the weekend when the sun came out on the bank holiday weekend. Stayed two nights. Long time since we have come across staff so friendly and efficient. The hotel was clean, tidy and comfortable. The food was excellent and the service professional. Will definitely go again. Floor boards squeak a bit... More

This hotel should be closed down. 6 people from our party got ill from the roast lamb. The heating was so loud we had to move rooms at 330 am. This was once we wroke up the night porter. The staff drunk more each night at the bar then we did.

Stayed at the Cumberland for 4 nights in May 2013. Hotel a bit tired but staff good and helpful. Food excellent. Adam and Phil our entertainment for two nights were great and had a good choice of music. Something for everyone. Our party had a good time.

I am staying here with a group of friends over the weekend 8 - 11 March 2013. We were made to feel welcome on arrival, a bit earlier than expected, and from then on; the evening meal was very good, portions just right, and service top notch. My single room is a bit small, but perfectly adequate, facilities as expected,... More

On a recent visit to the Cumberland hotel, first impressions of the interior are lovely. There is a good dance floor in the ballroom, although the lift could do with being improved. Pleasant dining room, but horrible red plastic chairs to sit at the table. The bedrooms are clean and tidy, but cracked tiles botched up with filler and a... More

I visited this hotel on the weekend 10 feb 2013. A linedance weekend with IOW Tours. The food was very good served by pleasant and helpful waiters. The dance venue was also of a good standard. The hotel itself is in need of some TLC. The room (406 ) was adequate but basic. Television what I saw of it, had... More

Front desk staff has good sense of humour, breakfast staff needs a life. Parking can be provided but did not find out until I had put my car in the public... More
