on the outset of planning our wedding this was the only one who asked us what we wanted - all the others told us what we could have. the team at the hotel are not only proffessional but also friendly and approachable supporting us through our planning and overcomeing any problem or issue to ensure that our day was as...

We chose the Cumberland for a 2 night break with our 3 year old son - a chance to get away from the routine at home. We splashed out on a seaview family room with balcony and the view was great although the weather didn't do it justice! Unfortunately our first night was disrupted by our neighbours at 3am, however... More

Fantastic location, amazing staff and very nice room, but sadly our trip was spoilt by other guests. The main problem being stag and hen dos. It is the only time I've been a guest in a hotel where I have had to ring the night porter at 2.45am to tell them about drunk people. It's a real shame, but I... More

Have spent several short breaks at The Cumberland. Love the stylish decor and very much appreciate the excellent service.

Basic single rooms need some money spent on them asap so they actually look like your website! Noisy dripping noise all night from above, noisy slamming doors. Dont bother if you like your... More

I have just returned from a 3 night stay at the Cumberland. We were very lucky with the weather which gave us the opportunity to make the most of our 2nd floor sea view room with balcony. How wonderful to wake up to that view and be able to sit out in the morning or evening with a glass of... More

We stayed for a week at the Cumberland in May 2012. Despite awful weather we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel is conveniently situated in the East Cliff area and is about a 15 min walk along the sea front to the town centre. The hotel is tastefully decoated in arty decco style and the food in the restaurants is... More
