Clifton Park Hotel - Exclusive to Adults

I was bought this as a gift from my siblings for my 50th birthday. Emailed some queries the week before, one of which was did you need to book a slot to use the pool. They responded but failed to answer that question. Arrived, hotel lobby looked lovely so I was impressed. Asked about the pool, one slot left which was half an hour before the strict 6pm evening mealtime so we couldn't use it. Got back in time for the evening meal. Told where to sit. Meal was ok, not wow. Youngest people there and we're 50 and 60! Bedroom was very warm with a very large unsightly brown stain on the ceiling and several broken tiles in the bathroom. Breakfast-again strict time and told where to sit. Poor quality ingredients, very salty bacon and catering sausage with lidl sauces on offer. My husband went back to our room at 9.20 for a scheduled work phonecall. I followed after 10 minutes. 9.40 am member of housekeeping walked into our room. Same member of staff then ambushed us at the lift practically begging for a tip as apparently cleaning staff don't get a share of the tips. My husband obliged. We were later told by reception staff/possibly manager, that this isn't the case, they opted out of the tip sharing scheme. We left and received phonecalls and an email regarding an outstanding bar bill, which was a completely honest oversight on my husband's part. I responded to the email, £38.70 for 3 drinks!, I let them know that we hadn't enjoyed our stay and they responded that my comments would be forwarded to the manager. It's now over 48hrs later and I haven't received any contact regarding my feedback.

From Michael Wigham from Cockermouth Cumbria Just got home from the Clifton Park Hotel. We had three lovely rooms. We were there to celebrate my Mother's 100th birthday. The managers and staff could not have been any nicer. On the day itself Sunday 1st September, at the dinner, they brought us in a wine bucket a bottle of champagne, as well as a lovely card. We have been to this hotel for a number of years and we would highly recommend it. We also can recommend the entertainment that is on each night.

Just had the most amazing weekend for Turkey and Tinsel...our 4th year visit..totally fab from start to finish...starting from John the manager, who just wants you to have the best stay ever, with his lovely staff from Adrianna the hotel receptionist, all other staff we would like to thank for there kindness, Will, Adam, Tommy, Cordilia, Leah, Chloe, Jonathan not forgetting the house keepers, Dawn, Louise, the food was absolutely delicious all homemade, and plenty of, entertainment was great as always, the fab Johnny Bee, Kerry Rodgers, and Back to Back...just a throughly enjoyable weekend, with a lovely swim and Jacuzzi thrown in..Can not wait to return .

Excellent hotel nice room at the front of hotel the meals were excellent and all staff were brilliant nothing too much trouble Would stop here again hotel nice and clean entertainment was fine drinks reasonably priced 5 minutes from the front and pier

We stayed here using our Buy a gift voucher, we stayed on the ground floor and the room was nice , you can see the hotel is going through some refurbishment as the room looked mix match a nice chair in room but then an old chair that does not go . We had a problem with the kettle this was changed quickly. Only issue was the fire alarm going off from 6.30am on and off till 8am kept guests awake I'm sure if you wanted a lie in but communication was poor seems to have been breakfast cooking? Staff were polite and plenty of parking definitely recommend.

Another visit to Clifton Park that is worthy of a six button review. Another great weekend of good food and fantastic entertainment. John and the team were, as always, very helpful and bend over backwards to ensure every guest is catered for. The entertainment each night of our weekend was excellent and again catered for a mixed audience. Accomodation was good too. Our room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Food is good and the menu allows for a good variety of foods. The whole atmosphere at this hotel somehow manages to build good friendships between the guests and in return guests are often repeat customers again reinforcing those friendships. Looking forward to our return visit in November.
