Midland Hotel

Classic hotel. The 80’ 5*. Great view from room 222. Nonetheless the room is outdated. The elevator is ages old. Good for short stay. The location is superb with walking distance to Morrisons and Aldi. Great breakfast and environment.

Heating in dining area and lounge very poor. Food average. We waited at table for 15 mins to be served before realising we had to order at Bar - we should have been advised of procedure. Wind whistled in window frame in room. Having spent several short breaks here over the years, this occasion was very disappointing.

We didn’t think it came up to the standard of the price we paid. It was enjoyable but we won’t book there again. Lobby uninviting. Views from restaurants were excellent . That was the best. Looking at the sea. Breakfast fruit salad was mainly apple and nothing much else. Hot water for tea making big at buffet not hot enough. Breakfast was good but I expect everything to be good. Not enough bread choice at buffet breakfast.

5 stars the food was good,the staff were helpful and friendly and it was nice and warm and there was everything you needed in your room eg iron and ironing board,safe hair dryer plus the usual drinks etc.The shampoos etc were The White Company

We had a fabulous one night stay at The Midland. Our room was comfortable, spacious & well equipped. We had a lovely view of the bay. The staff were great, very friendly & helpful. Food was delicious.

Overall good but dining room too cold. Bathroom heating permanently off, no bathroom door meaning no privacy. Cleanliness excellent and staff very friendly.

Just returned from a two night stay at the Midland. In some respects it is excellent - which it should be for the price really. The staff are brilliant - courteous and helpful. I also very much appreciated what seemed to be an inclusive recrui**ent policy. It is truly lovely to look out over the bay as you eat. The rooms are attractive but there are issues with the ensuite bathrooms. There is no sound insulation at all - not only between your bedroom and bathroom areas but also between your room and the bathroom above. We heard every flush of the toilet above us and that wasn't great at 4.45 in the morning! The room fridge also makes a loud hum and we had to turn it off to sleep. There is a bath which was a nice surprise but there were no bathrobes. We were told that you have to request them when you make your booking. This isn't stated anywhere so not sure how we would have known to ask. And there is no moveable shower head so you wash your hair every day or wear a single use plastic shower cap. This seemed at odds with being offered a "green deal" of 2 free drinks if we chose not to have room service and clean towels on the second day. I loved this green deal concept. Shame it didn't carry through to other areas. I guess the building is very expensive to upkeep and the over all impression is of art deco beauty, but it is a bit sad in places e.g. lots of condensation running down the windows and shower sealant that could do with a refresh. Iwas hoping for better

The hotel from the outside looks like it needs a lick of paint but it's next to the sea so this is to be expected. The views are stunning and the position of The Midland is perfect. The staff go above and beyond, they are polite, friendly and efficient and obviously very well trained. The food was excellent particularly our delicious breakfast with proper loose leaf tea served in a silver pot with tea strainers for each cup. Our room was really comfortable with a balcony looking out to sea with the Lake District fells in the background. We had such a lovely, relaxing stay and will definitely be back again, hopefully very soon. Highly recommended 👌.

The hotel is lovely and the staff were very helpful, friendly and hospitable. The building is kept to the original Art Deco style and the rooms are lovely.
