Seacote Hotel

little far from city centre but just adjacent to the sea, very good for hiker as well. the sound proof is quite bad though, i can easily hear ppl walking on the room floor above......free parking also a merit!

Nice hotel.

Our party of 9 people stayed at this hotel for six nights. The hotel and its location are good for the beach and hill views but there is very little else in the area so you are limited as to where you can go for meals/drinks without having to drive. The rooms were clean although some were in need of some decoration attention. The receptionist was extremely helpful as we had booked three twin bedded rooms and found we had double beds, she quickly rearranged the rooms for us. On the downside if you required breakfast or dinner you had to book in advance, choose your menu and time to dine. If you were out touring the area during the day it meant you had to get back for your allotted time. Also the bar seemed to close at whatever time the barmaid decided on. Again when you have been driving all day without any alcohol you might wish to have a drink when you got back to the hotel, at one point we arrived back at 9.45pm to be told last orders was in 15 mins. Unless you wanted to do a 15 min walk to the village pubs. On the morning we left we drove into St Bees village to the Manor Pub where nine of us walked in totally unannounced and asked if we could have breakfast. We were presented with a menu and served exactly what we wanted without any fuss whatsoever. There is a beach cafe near the hotel which is open for cooked food but this is closed on Tues/Weds.
