Called in during a walk along Grange-over-Sands prom on a lovely cool day. Nice welcome into the Inn. Good all round menu and big portions. Comfortable venue.

We holiday in grange over sands a couple of times a year as a girls getaway and always visit the Commodore for drinks and some food. The food has always been fabulous but this visit was just outstanding. We went in for Sunday lunch and everything was just so tasty. Staff are all very friendly and accommodating. I am quite picky with what I eat so they brought all the veg out on separate plates so that I could choose what I liked. Great variety to choose from! Couldn’t finish all of it but the staff very kindly gave us take out containers so we could take it home for supper. Would highly recommend and can’t wait until next time!!

We had booked a table in the restaurant and on arrival had a drink in the bar where we found the barman to be very socially inadept and rude. We then went through to the restaurant to find it in darkness. I questioned this with the rude little man and he just walked away. We will certainly never visit again.

Went for lunch, which was delicious & plentiful. The hot ham & melted cheese roll was very tasty with plenty of thick cut ham, there were plenty of chips & the cup of soup tasted home made. I had my eye on the Eton Mess but sadly I was too full to eat it.

The food was amazing. We had 2 Sunday roasts and chicken schnitzel. The roasts were great. Lots of different vegetables roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese. Huge yorkshire pudding. For dessert we had Eton mess and baileys cheesecake. Again these were huge portions. Love value for money and this place definitely gives you this. The place itself is lovely. Would def recommend the Sunday lunch

Popped in for lunch after a lovely walk on the promenade, we decided to opt for the lunchtime menu and had the Cold Deli Sandwiches (Prawns with Marie Rose sauce & Chicken Chipotle). The sandwiches were huge and served with fries and salad. The staff were great and super quick service and after ordering the food was on the table very quickly. We would recommend you try it

I don't often leave reviews but for the purposes of constructive feedback.... the meals which required seasoning and flavour were sadly below par to the point of not being enjoyable (soup & the mussels). The bog standard fried food was absolutely fine. The food isn't cheap (although average) so one would expect food to taste good especially if on the specials board. We live locally but sadly wouldn't return based on our most recent meal out.

Firstly Hotel very unhelpful when trying to change my date for a 1 night stay. Arrived, paid for parking which was not mentioned in the hotels guide. Only when your in the room does the welcome pack state its free between 6pm and 8am, no good to most guests. Bar was very dated and uncoordinated, toilets were disgusting. Food, ok just basic pub grub nothing special. Upstairs to the rooms, the stairs were filthy and laundry left on the landing. Most rooms were named after a part of a ship, ours the Galley but you wouldn't know it as the sign had fallen off. Very small room, again very basic and a tiny window not the big bay window as advertised. Room clean,poor decor. tiny shower, sloping floor in bathroom and what was up with toilet roll holder, get a proper one and more than half a roll would be appreciated of cheap toilet paper. 7.30am 8am approx, fire alarm went off due to water leeks apparently Breakfast was ok but coffee filter was dirty, coffee burnt or old. Milk jug dirty. Again not a welcoming environment cleaning stuff and boxes greeted us. Balcony doors locked so no fresh air. All seemed very grubby. Will not returning and I would not recommend it. Sorry needs sorting out.

Booked a family room for 3 when we arrived we was told the rooms for 2 now our booking sheet clearly said for 2 adults 1 child we was told there would only be breakfast for 2 and we would have to pay for the other. Ok that's a strange start i thought then we got to the room a travel bed had just been inserted into the room blocking your walking route in and blocking the bathroom door from opening meaning if you needed the toilet in the night you needed to wake everyone and move the travel bed. as for getting out in case of a fire it was dangerous as the walkaway to the door was also blocked with a over hanging hat stand come wardrobe that was pinned to the wall at about 5.5ft high me being over 6ft and having various back operations i wasn't the type made for a limbo Dancing. tried to talk to the staff a few times could see it was to much trouble so went to the pub up the road and just left early without a breakfast. something really needs sorting as the room is a safety risk for 3 it would be a hard game to get 3 out in case of a fire fixtures and fittings are not the best a shelf in the bathroom was half heatedly repaired with 4 rusty nails and was still hanging off no extractor fan in the bathroom quite noisy outside if its a warm night as we was situated over the beer garden. needless to say we wont return although the owners blame the booking company and the booking company blame the owners its really not fair on the customer full stop.

I went to The Commodore after I was looking for some hearty pub food to eat, and seeing as it was in the top 10 of places to try here I thought I’d give it a go. First impressions when I walked in wasn’t great; there were signs that the pub was undergoing a refurb which was fine, but there was a general feel of uncleanliness throughout despite of this. I still decided to give it a go as most reviews were very favourable, so I ordered a steak and ale pie. It looked nice when it came out and was certainly hot enough, but that unfortunately was the only thing going for it. The pie itself was very hard, and I had a suspicion it might have been reused from lunchtime (I pray at least), the shortcrust pastry felt quite stale and the meat around the sides were hard. The chips were unbearably salty, and the mushy peas were very dry. I left most of the pie, all of the mushy peas, and cut the skin off the chips. I unfortunately hadn’t the time (or now, money) to go anywhere else and to be completely honest, I didn’t feel comfortable in asking for a refund as the staff seemed preoccupied with rushing around, kissing behind the bar or being quite uninterested. To top it off, I found that my tea cup that I had drained wasn’t as clean I thought it was. Extremely disappointed from a place that scored so highly.

We stayed for one night in this hotel. Bar and rooms were dated, bed was uncomfortable, and the carpets were dirty. I've graded it as 3 stars as the two members of staff, possibly owners were run off their feet day in day out doing bar service, food and room cleaning. They were still friendly despite this and the breakfast was nice in the morning. The roof in the breakfast area was leaking though which adds to the hotel being run down. Location is great, a short walk to the beach.

We thought the prices were very reasonable as well. I would recommend this place for food and drink. However, we were not residents, so we can not say what the rooms were like. If they are as good as the rest of the place, then I would definitely stay there.

First off i have no idea what venue the pictures are from but it certainly isn't the commodore inn, Grange-over-Sands. if they are it was many, many years ago. We booked as 3 family groups to stay here for a wedding in the area. On our arrival we were greeted in a very nice manner (the only plus point, i may add). When shown to our rooms they were tired and cold with a feeling of 1980s B and B. But we over looked this as we wouldn't be in the rooms very long. My wife and i decided to have a shower before going for food, and that is where the problems started. NO hot water, like at all. Told the staff who came and looked at the boiler situated in our room (crews nest) she pressed a few buttons and claimed the heating will work now. Well it didn't waited 20mins turned shower on and still no hot water. I went down again for a second time, this time a maintenance doing work in the bar area came up and also pressed a few buttons and again told it will work.....if didn't. Ice cold water.... i asked the guy why an electric shower needed the boiler looking at? He seemed to have no idea. All rooms that we had, pretty much the entire place had no hot water. Then the excuses came, "it's and old system and if we all use the showers at the same time the hot water will go?????? What do the bar have to do, knock on each room in turn to say you can now use your shower, as the crows nest have finished?? never heard anything so stupid in my 20 years as a heating engineer. we demanded a refund to be told they can't as the manager is away....we rang back 2 days later and still they can't do it as the manager is away.......to ring back again to be told we have to speak to the managers, manager???? How many managers has this hovle got? We cancelled our booking with Expedia in front of the staff, who received a call from them to confirm this....but still no refund for anyone in our party. As the venue are saying we have to contact Expedia for a refund. Complete joke!!! DO NOT STAY HERE, EVER UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE SCAMMED.

We came to the commodore on sunday 24th and after a few drinks having travelled over 2 hours we decided to have pizzas. Salty and overdone was the end result.When asked how our meal was we said it was too salty and the staff on duty were apologetic considering how busy it was on the day and having gone back to the kitchen the chef did know that he had put too much salt on them, but still sent them out. We were told that no refunds would be given because it would look bad on the management which I thought was ridiculous. We came in again the following day and it looked closed as the tv was off. Wasn’t very welcoming with the staff member on duty didn’t seem like he wanted to be there. We caught sight of who we believed to be the landlord on his way out and again no interaction or a friendly hello from him. We came 2 years ago and had a fantastic experience. This time not so much with a landlord that doesn't seem bothered. Hopefully with the refurbishment going on it may get better.

We were staying at The Grange Hotel and decide to visit this pub for tea. We had steak and ale pie & chicken snitzel food was lovely and barmaid Saskia was very friendly and made as welcome. Upon walking in we thought we had made a bad decision coming here as we thought the food would be just bar food. How wrong we were. The food was lovely we had two drinks each at the total bill was £50.25 which we thought was very reasonable. Saskia is a credit to the pub and deserves a pay rise she works very hard. Would definitely recommend this place for food as there portion sizes are large. Thank you Saskia if we are ever up this way again we would definitely come here. We will definitely recommend you to family and friends visiting this area.

We booked this Inn for 2 nights and it was a last minute booking. Good points were comfy bed and slept well, warm room, great view and very near to the promenade. Staff were great and you do get what you pay for. £150 for 2 nights......other hotels in the area are double this. Not so great points.....parking has to be paid for and is not cheap although free between 6pm and 8am, there is, apparently, free parking in the town but not sure where that is. Breakfast only between 9am and 10am and very limited but reasonable when it came out. Cobwebs in the bathroom and no heating. Water pressure and heat of water negligible, shower has a trickle but is warm. This was supposed to be a deluxe room. The Porthole room is big enough but over the pool room and quite noisy on first night. Smell of weed in corridor was very strong. WiFi......just remember the code starts with a capital which is wrongly documented in the information in the room. The place needs TLC and double glazing but coming out of covid it may not be possible. Trains start early but didn't really bother us.

Had a lovely stay. Really nice considering how cheap I got the rooms for. Only reason I've dropped a star is due to the poor pub worker who was running around on his own for at least an hour. He was literally doing everything. Despite him quite literally running around, he was very polite and seemed happy to help even though he was probably stressed and exhausted. The management need to do better with shift roaters, or at least give the man some recognition. This happened on February 12th at around 6:30pm.

Booked 2 x nights bed and breakfast, but only stayed for one. Room was cold due to the radiator not working.

The internal bathroom was pokey with no extractor fan and wallpaper bubbled with chipped basin and skirting boards. On the plus side, the room had a fabulous view of the bay.

We booked for evening meal between Christmas and New year. The Web site has a "mission statement " it states their aim is to give you " the best Steak & Ale pie you've ever eaten " It was dire! Obviously been under a warming light or on a hot plate for a long time if not all day. It was dry, concrete like and inedible. The bar maid was very understanding and returned the meal to the kitchen. No more was available so ended up with a pizza which was average to say the least.

Stayed at The Commodore for 1 night with the expectation of an evening meal. The room was available immediately, which was unusual. We booked it for the view, which was not disappointing, however the amount of flies in the window was. The sink was cracked in the bathroom, the tap was swinging, the shower curtain was filthy and the light in the hallway entrance wasn’t working. The bed was cheap and you could feel the insides in your back. The paperwork said there was hot chocolate from the local chocolatier, fair trade wasn’t the local chocolatier. My partner had to swat all the flies in the window and clean everything before we could settle down. We went down for an evening meal which was appalling. I didn’t think places like this existed anymore. The guy sat at the table who was watching everything who kept running up and down the stairs? I presume was the manager. Can’t you see what is wrong with the place. Unfortunately it’s a stunning location with so much potential.

Further to comments made by Eric D re our recent stay. We spent 4 nights in the Crow's Nest comprising a single and a double bedroom and a bathroom. Strangely, there was no door to the double room. We came to an arrangement where I made myself scarce whilst Eric and his wife showered etc and vice versa. Fortunately, we're good friends! Frustratingly, we couldn't access the internet in our rooms and had to go down to the bar to get any sort of internet connection. Cleaning the skylight in the hallway occasionally wouldn't go amiss either. Whilst we appreciated that the Crow's Nest wasn't expensive and that some issues couldn't be resolved immediately, we still expected the problems that could be solved (shower curtain and light bulb) would be during our stay.

Stayed at the Commodore for 4 nights, DBB, the bar was welcoming, staff very helpful, hotel clean. Food and drink very good, albeit dinner was a good plateful, and as we're getting on a bit, did prove too much at times, but reasonable quality. Now for the accommodation, unfortunately not as good as expected, whilst a very good price for B&B, the room had some problems. Firstly it should be said that the staff were informed of these faults, who promised to inform "management". Light in the hall way, needed an new bulb, shower curtain needed replacing, been too long in water becoming discoloured. Cold tap very wobbly, needed tightening before something worse happens. Toilet seat needs fixing. During our first night, lots of banging, which I eventually found to be a loose upper sash window, stopped the banging with beer mats, but that made a gap between the to sash sections, talk about drafty and cold, and let the flies in! Tried to stop the draft with a towel, see picture. After our first night we were out for the day, returned to find that our room was not serviced. Response from staff was to the effect that we had not left out the "clean my room sign" problem was, we didn't have one, once we got one no problems. A bit of TLC would be helpful, the room was clean though, and the bed comfortable.

The Comodore Inn requires a complete refurbishment tables and chairs have all seen better days. Decoration is old and cold. Food is overpriced and a very limited menu. If you are desperate for food it will tick the box. However plenty better places. OK for a pub poor for food.

We go to the commodore regularly but won't be going again for a while. Went last weekend and if you like Flies with your food your in luck cos there's hundreds of them. Disgusting. A few years ago they had the same problem and had to get a firm in to get rid of them. Come on Commodore get your act together.

Visited last time in between lockdown, came back so was worth a second visit, they managed to fit us all in (group of 12), food and service was a good, they were very busty as it was the bank holiday

We had lunch a few weeks ago as we had seen a Facebook add. It took over an hour and a half for one pie of the day and one scampi and chips, it looked lovely when it arrived but the scampi was still frozen in the middle and pie was stone cold. We told the lady on the bar who said that she would send the chef down. I think the chefs name was John or Jowe, when we told him the issues with the food he made a sarcastic comment, saying “people pay extra for cold food”. ( I know he was joking but I found it rude and patronising.) He then sent over a guy who was sat at the big table next to the bar drinking moretti they said he said he was the manager but was clearly was not as he was dressed in a cap,tracksuit and trainers. We told him our issues and he explained they had only got a temporary agency chef as the only decent chef they could get had just quit. after we then stood for 10 - 15 minutes wanting to pay whilest the young lady with tattoos on the bar was playing on her phone (who clearly doesn’t want to be there). She eventually put her phone down to serve drinks but then sneezed all over the glasses so decided not to order any more drinks. The Commodore is such a lovely location with brilliant views. Its a shame that the staff and food and cleanliness was such a bad standard. After this occasion, we will definitely not be returning. And would not recommend anybody. I sincerely hope the owners will see this review and take action especially on the hygiene and cleanliness comments.

Disappointing. Unfortunately the place needs a good clean. The table was so sticky my arm stuck to it. I had sausage, mash, peas, gravy. It was tasty and hot, sausages were peppery but very tasty. Comfort food. It’s just a shame that the lack of cleanliness overshadowed the quality of the food. Staff seemed very busy.

Unfortunately the young lady behind the bar was grumpy and unwelcoming. She clearly didn’t want to be there. It is always disappointing when front of house staff have little interest in elevating the experience of customers. She also told us that they had stopped serving...

Had a great time at The Commadore! The staff were very friendly. Rooms clean & tidy. No complaints. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent, the Steak Pie is to die for.

Visited on a Sunday evening as part of a stay in the local area. Was surprisingly quiet, but that obviously isn’t a problem. Received a warm welcome from the staff and it wasn’t long before we were seated upstairs for our meal. What a meal...

Only two members of staff on the night we visited. They were working their socks off but trying to cover two bars, the restaurant and outside areas was a big ask. The fish and chips were good, the local beer was excellent.

Had a meal on Tuesday evening. Amazing view from upstairs. Staff were very friendly. Sadly not too many customers in the hotel. We had the fresh cod in sauce with roasted vegetables.It was well presented & very tasty. Huge portion so couldn't manage a pud!!

Food was poor, no atmosphere, run down pub. 1 star if lucky. It doesn’t deserve its 4 star rating. View nice from upstairs and polite wait person but I couldn’t recommend it.

Absolutely beautiful little pub sat right in front of the trainline. When we arrived the staff were super friendly and helpful. Sunday lunch is very good value and worth every penny. Such a nice friendly pub but more importantly very nice food.

Barmaid wanted £36. I said, "£36 for two puddings and a pint and a half?" She immediately reconsidered. "It's £29.50.". She printed me a receipt and said, "You asked for extra custard. Life isn't free, sir." I had indeed asked for extra custard, for which I had only been charged a pound. But obviously, people who query bar bills in the Lakes are regarded as the lowest form of scroungers.
