King George IV — Hotel in Great Britain

Stayed in one of the apartments downstairs 2 summers ago.

Great location, and the view from the apartment was beautiful. But the 2 mattresses on the bed needed to be put in the bin; springs sticking up, lumpy, collapsed on one side. The bed frame itself made so much noise if you rolled over it woke you up. Had to sleep on the floor due to this. The rest of the apartment was fine. Simple, but it had all the amenities we needed (except a washing machine, but that's not a deal breaker), and well laid out. The other down side was it was located directly below the 'family room' in the pub, so in the evenings, the noise in the lounge was extremely noticeable.

Beer was not bad, 4 or 5 different beers most nights, most were kept well, even if not to my taste. My wife enjoyed the range of fruity ciders (from Somerset, so not local at all). Food was (as has been previously mentioned) quite expensive, but worth it for some dishes, not for others. Big sign on the wall outside states lots if single malt whisky's, not a single one was available, so was slightly put out by that.

Returned a couple of weeks later when up in that part of the world for a DofE Gold Expedition. Mentioned to the landlord that I stayed there a couple of weeks previous and it was good to see him again, and he blanked me, even so the colleague I was with mentioned that he thought the landlord was rather...

Very convenient place for camp sites and people are nice however, the food wasn't great. Starter and mains both significantly overcooked. Special was a mince and onion pie which was actually mince and peas with no sign of any onions and was very dry as it don't have any gravy inside. Burger was so overcooked it was hard as was the bap it came in. Sausage and mash came out as sausage and chips so that had to go back too. 2 of our 6 meals were ok (ribeye steak and gammon) and the landlady who served us was very gracious and apologetic when we did mention the issues and didn't charge us for the burger meal however, it was still very expensive (due to the location and the fact is it is the only pub around) and we were quite disappointed and didn't go back for the rest of our weeks stay. Having said all that the redeeming feature was the deserts, we had sticky toffee pudding and chocolate brownie and they were all excellent! In summary, go for a pudding and you won't be...

Beer good pub food amazing, would advise the haddock fish cakes OMG amazing. Came here for the weekend with my partner and dog and they allow the dog in everywhere, very quiet in which we wanted. You can walk for miles and they also have a train that takes you around and stop off to spend a few hours in different destinations before coming back. John the landlord was Brill. Told us where the best places to walk and visit, nothing is too much trouble for him very helpful. Staff are really good. Seascale only 15-20 minutes in car, good run on the beach for the dog. Ice cream parlour was amazing best ice cream I have tasted in a while (and I'm not a big ice cream lover). The flat we was in was ample size for us, clean, everything we needed. Must say we have had a fantastic stay, just the break we needed. Would defo come back again and highly recommend to anyone who wants a nice chilled weekend and...
