The Mansion

Fantastic location great facilities with pool and the friendliest of welcome on arrival, beds were great plenty of room and the breakfast was excellent. Nice and clean and just a short £6 taxi in and out of the town with great restaurants on hand

Thank you very much for your warm welcome to your guesthouse. From the very first welcome to the ‘see you next time!’ The room was clean and the bed was really comfortable too. The location is close to the town and the recommended pub for the food was excellent. So accommodating and even welcoming to our two dogs. Whitehaven is well connected as a base to explore the lakes from and this is an excellent place to start with! Recommended! There is so much detail from the owners with a handy folder with lots of local knowledge in the room. The local town information around the good places to eat and walk were also good to know

Booked for my daughters hen weekend and everyone really enjoyed their stay. Ian and Nav are fantastic hosts and really made us feel welcome. Lovely views from the garden. The rooms are spacious and beds are comfortable and the breakfast was amazing. My dozy daughter left her driving license and they kindly posted it to her.

What an excellent find this delightful b&b is.  Located in Whitehaven, this b&b is a great spot to tour from.  Visitors are a mix of contractors and tourists & the b&b seems to cater exceedingly well for either. We were greeted warmly by Nav on arrival. Nav showed us to our room on the ground floor,  next to the pool area. The rooms are bright and freshly decorated, in neutral but warm colours -  carpets and mattresses are new. They are well laid out,  plenty of space,  with a table if you need to work,  ensuite, wardrobe, and table with kettle etc.  Sachets of tea and coffee are plentiful, and extra available nearby. Nav showed us around the b&b, up to the bar (self service with honesty box), well stocked with good selections, the breakfast room, then onto the gardens.  Nav has done a wonderful job with the gardens, similar to the rooms, the views are spectacular, and the area so very peaceful.  Nav provided lots of helpful recommendations for places to visit nearby and places to eat. After a blissful night's sleep (a very quiet location) we ventured to breakfast, again to a warm hello from Nav who cooked us an excellent full English (other options available.  In addition, there are a varied selection of cereals, fruit, yogurt, pastries,  juice,  toast and preserves. We were definitely not left hungry or thirsty,  being supplied with a carafe of coffee, & the kippers on our last day were scrummy. Although we didn't have time to use the pool, we did sneak a look,  it was very clean, and the room bright and airy - maybe next time. There definitely will be a next time,  not only to see how the garden is coming along, but because this is a lovely b&b.  Nav and Ian have put a great deal into making the b&b a home away from home,  and are fantastic hosts,  lighting up the room with their warmth and friendliness.  A pleasure to visit.

Ian and Nav were wonderful hosts. Breakfast was superb, they will cook or get in anything you want. The room was very clean and the towels were very thick and soft Egyptian cotton. Nav was very knowledgeable of the area and keen to offer advice on best places to visit. We had a lovely Easter break and thinking of returning later in the year with our Grandaughters

The welcome was friendly. Very good advice on taxi service (Bigrigg cabs) and place to eat in Whitehaven (Vagabond). Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and set us up for our walk to Ennerdale Bridge on day 2 of my Coast to Coast walk.
