Thank for taking the time to review you visit. We regret that you had problems with the internet connection. We are a distance away from the exchange and the signal can vary. To help this we have portable wifi adaptors which dramatically improves the signal, but we do ask for a refundable deposit when these adaptors are given out to... More

Had to write this negative review the minute I got home after our meal at the ginn house today. After eating my lunch my friend noticed water dripping into my dinner from a window above where I was sat. The waitress came to clear the plates to which the water dripped on her arm and wasn't fazed by this. Told... More

Dear Sophiebubbles0 Following your comments, management have made investigations with the staff working at that time. Throughout the week our restaurant is extremely busy in the evenings but quieter at lunchtimes (except Sunday Lunch). On the day you visited, Thursday 21st February, we were quieter than usual and only served 17 meals, including your party of 5 (4 adults and... More

We stop up here whenever we are visiting family and my only quibble would be the wifi, the problem here is you need it as there is no 3g signal due to the area, all that said though they did say last month they were going to install new room adaptors to improve this. Other than that though it is... More

Just stayed for two nights at the Old Ginn House in Clifton (Workington) Was made to feel very welcome by the staff. The room was first class, very clean, with the all facilities you would expect in a modern hotel. Very well stocked bar with a well kept real ale (Bluebird from Coniston Brewery). Very friendly bar staff. First rate!

Staff excellent ,friendly,versatile "can do" approach. Value for money proven. Rooms need better lighting. Location easily found and within easy reach of local venues. Food is above average pub quality.Whopping portions! Breakfast choice could be wider . Drinks limited ,no ginger beer and very limited wine list.

I have stayed at the Old Ginnhouse around 20 times now. Friendly staff, clean rooms with good food and beer. Great value for money. Some of the older rooms could have done a little TLC but they are now carrying out room renovations. Very good and usually a busy little place. Very good and I will be back soon.
