Location ideal, near both bus and train station and close to town centre . Staff all friendly and helpful.
Highlight was the excellent breakfast. Self service but English breakfast items were freshly cooked. Also included choice of cereals, yogurt, toast, orange or apple juice, tea or coffee. Great start to the day

Lovely place, very comfortable bed. A couple of tired areas but the place is undergoing refurbishment.
Your comfort is our aim at this family-run hotel. At a recent health inspection, we were awarded 4 stars by Cumbria Tourism.

The cooked breakfast was exceptional,, and more than I could eat. The eggs benedict were great too. Really comfy memory foam mattress, smart shower room. Clean and New looking decor, and the staff were ultra friendly. Even the bar and restaurant prices are cheaper than I am used to. The beer was good but no food on offer that night, although other pubs nearby for food.

A beautiful property on the outskirts of Workington (although it is on the outskirts you are still walking distance from the centre and shops) . Stylish, spacious and clean with everything you need under one roof. The hosts were amazing! So kind, friendly and accommodating. It was so good we decided to book another night whilst staying in the Lake District!!!

Workington was better than expected Plenty of shops and parking Flowers were blooming and very colourful on a lot of the streets It was a good place for us to stay as a base, we travelled around the coast line up to Gretna where a wedding was going on.
We went around the Lake district and found St Bees a lovely place to watch surfers , swimming and peddle boarding and lots of children enjoying the pools after the sea had gone out
I am of the older generation so like to people watch very relaxing

It's one of the start points for the C2C cycle or walk routes - the others are at Whitehaven or St Bees. Both those are much nicer than Workington.
I ate in the Henry Bessemer - a Wetherspoon's pub, which was good value WYSIWYG. Cheaper there than the awful hotel Waverley by several quid - and drinks much better value too.

A busy little town near the Solway Coast. Tricky one way system until you become used to it. The town has a number of takeaway establishments but would benefit from more eateries. A good leisure centre and nice walks in this area.

We were very impressed with the service and had a great stay. We were a bit disappointed with our first room and asked to upgrade to a room in the associated hotel, Washington Central, and this request was granted. As we were on our honeymoon, the front desk even offered us a huge discount on the upgrade to make our stay more special - it was an above and beyond gesture that we appreciated so much. Great service and nice amenities (pool, sauna, hot tub).
It is only 28 minutes from Keswick so it is a great choice for a budget vacation in Lake District. I had Room 1 which was on the ground floor close to the entrance (but further from bathroom). Spacious, neat room. Host says bring own toiletries but all you need is shower gel, the rest including towels and toilet paper was available. Location in Workington town is good, quiet, always had parking.
we loved our stay. Osbourne house has a touch of magic to it. I was raised in Workington, staying here gave us a feel for the town in it’s old time splendour. The house has been renovated with detailed love and care. Out room was beautiful and comfortable and the breakfasts ample and delicious. The hosts Di and Rob can’t do enough for you, we’ll be back next time we visit Cumbria.
The room was fine and reasonably clean. Bed was comfortable. They had a storage area for my bicycle which was critical since I was at the start of my Coast to Coast bicycle ride. I enjoyed sitting in the pub which is part of the hotel and experience a bit of the local culture. All staff were polite and responsive to any needs I had.
Room is good value with all the expected facilities. Really nice bonus that for £10 extra you can use the facilities for the hotel across the road, including sauna, large swimming pool, jacuzzi and gym.
Breakfast was good, fairly priced and well worth it. Location is right in the town if you want to go to any bars or restaurants.
Lovely hotel and good location opposite interesting ancient building with grounds for walking and longer dog walks to shore as well. Very friendly, great full english breakfast. Also nearby Royal George good for excellent value meals with lots of choice and quick service. The two make a complete combination.
Lovely little cottage in a really nice quiet location of Workington. Super comfortable bed with nice soft bedding. Really clean. Everything you need for home to home environment. The little touches made it extra special. Will definitely stay again.
Staff were brilliant,Pete Dom Barry &Collette were first class...our every need was met.Beautiful gardens &vista.....so relaxing just the break we needed to recharge our batteries. Would highly recommend this hotel,will definitely be back soon.
WE had to move room as it was so noisy from Bars/clubs across the street, don't understand why we were given that room. We had to move. The hotel could do with an upgrade and remove all the carpeting on landings.
Sue and Fred are the perfect hosts . I love this place. It’s comfortable, down to earth and very relaxing. I now have my go to place for overnight stays in Workington. Thanks so much guys
