The Mansion

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.

This was our third stay at the Mansion and as always, it was thoroughly enjoyable. Friendly atmosphere, clean, and beautiful breakfasts. Added luxury is the indoor swimming pool. My only criticism is that the electric shower in the room we stayed this time was not powerful enough for my liking.

I travelled for a business meeting. The Mansion B&B is a family run enterprise, very welcoming, very homely, very clean. I didn't use the pool but will next time... on a hill so great views and great value for money. I'd highly recommend it if in Whitehaven vicinity.

Have stayed a few times always first class and friendly service. Great location and ample parking. I would not hesitate to recommend always first choice when travelling. Always first on my list for selection if I am travelling. Food is great

The hosts are lovely, the room was clean and well presented with a beautiful view. They have booklets in the room that tells you about area and whats available which is great. The breakfast was freshly prepared with a good range to offer. Will book again. Thank you for a lovely stay

I have stayed at the Mansion on 2 previous occasions when visiting family in West Cumbria. This time it was for a wedding and I was with 2 relatives from Canada. We arrived late as had to do airport pick ups but there was no issue with this as we had good communication beforehand. I stayed in my "usual" room a deluxe double and family were in more modern room on ground floor. They were very pleased with their room and were very very happy with the breakfasts which are cooked from fresh with local products. As always we were made to feel very welcome by Nav and the standard of the accommodation is very good value for the price especially as breakfast and car parking is included One comment from family : hooks on downstairs bathroom door would be very welcome.
