Hunday Manor Country House Hotel Restaurant in Allerdale

We were staying here for 3 nights and had a meal in the restaurant the first night it was a special occasion my 25 years anniversary and slso my birthday . 3 of us ordered the steak but we had to wait for over 2 hours and it was so tough we couldn't cut it let stone eat it . We were refunded just the 3 steaks but the evening was ruined as it was nearly 10.00 by then and our meslwas booked for 7.15. ! As it was terrible weather the next night we thought we'd chance it again but we all had soup which was cold and the fish was just all batter with hardly sny fish inside . So disappointed as we booked here going by the reviews and thought it would be nice to not have to go out to eat .

Had one of the best weekends away. The hotel is fabulous and the staff were very accommodating and professional. The rooms, due for a refurbishment, were delightful and very comfortable, great beds. The restaurant was particularly good, from the selections to the portions and quality of food everything was excellent. I cannot praise them enough. The staff, service and attention to detail was exceptional. We shall definitely return.

Stunning location. Stunning building, staff were so helpful and pleasant. Showed us the new design the building is going to change into. We came for food. All I can say is beautiful, will definitely be returning. Hopefully will book for our wedding

We spent last weekend at the Hunday Manor with 12 friends celebrating our Golden Wedding Anniversary. We could not have been treated any better. The staff especially Barry, Mary and Josh were excellent. The food was lovely and the private dining room was decorated beautifully. We had a fantastic time and look forward to going back again. Would definitely recommend!!!

Working locally and this was recommended to me, so glad I took the advice. Staff great and very accommodating as we had some work to do while here. Food was excellent and Room was clean tidy and comfortable. I will definitely stay again … thank you 🙏

We had the Friday night special 2 surf and turfs and a bottle of wine for £45, which we had seen advertised on Facebook. It was absolutely delish and an absolute bargain 😋 very friendly staff looking after us, can't wait to return!!

A return visit to this hotel for 2 nights and everything was perfect again. The staff across all departments are a great bunch of people and know how to make their residents feel welcome. Fantastic value for money and a great location for visiting some of the lesser known places in the west. Looking forward to returning later in the year.

Disappointing. The starter I had was a rather poor terrine. Of the three main courses, the lamb was very poor and most of the meal was clearly microwaved and certainly not freshly cooked. It falls well below the advertised hype. The waiting staff were rather porly trained; for example, at no time, were we even asked if we'd like to gave any drinks with our meal.

The poor weather was more than compensated by the excellent experience we had. The room was lovely, breakfast was freshly cooked, dinner was faultless,. We had a problem with Travelzoo which they resolved very well, and the hotel treated us extremely well with the travel zoo error and charged us the travel zoo price without hesitation. Well done all round. Worth a visit

Great room, great staff and great food. Thanks for a lovely stay - we only stayed one night as en-route to Scotland but would happily return to stay longer. We really enjoyed it - the staff can't do enough to help and our evening meals and breakfasts were top quality and generous in portion. Good luck with renovations and thanks again for the lovely warm and comfortable room. S&PF

This hotel looks exquisite from the outside. When entering the property it was also very nice. Checked in without any issues. The room I was given was very dated and had damp on the bathroom ceiling and in the bedroom by the window. They are in the process of upgrading the rooms. The staff were lovely, espcially Pete the night manager. Nothing was too much trouble for him. We did not eat here in the evening as it was a little on the expensive side but there was a lovely pub down the raod which we ate at.

INCREDIBLE Room INCREDIBLE Food INCREDIBLE service. INCREDIBLE attention. ! of my fave ever hotels in the uk

The most loviest meal ever. It was my wife’s birthday and I booked a table in restaurant a few weeks ahead. I mentioned the birthday and ‘leave it with us. ‘Was reply. Arrived and had a nice drink in the foyer before taken to the table. The starter, dinner and dessert were out of this world. Lovely food and the dessert plate decorated for my wife with ‘Happy Birthday’ Service outstanding and food top quality in a beautiful setting.

We have been visiting Hunday Manor for years and had love meals. However our recent visit was extremely disappointing and was not a four star meal. We had chicken supreme, which is not a piece of chicken breast with ready made sauce dumped on mash potato. The rest of the meal was all pre- prepared. Presentation was also poor. Front of house staff lovely as always

We had a fabulous evening celebrating my son's !8th birthday, the staff were so accommodating, the chef even putting together some extra vegetarian dishes for us. Friendly, welcoming and efficient the whole evening, would definitely recommend and will be returning!

Lovely place staff were excellent bit reservation going on but lovely peaceful place to stay couldnt fault it it was perfect and our room was lovely to all very friendly what more can I say we stayed for a birthday excellant

Have stayed here before , we like the atmosphere and the friendly welcome and great service. A good place to visit the lesser known lakes and countryside . Breakfast was very good and the bar and downstairs lounge area comfortable and relaxed .The room was very comfortable and clean - in need of modernisation which the new owners are planning .Thank you to Barry and the rest of the team for another good stay .

Very dated. Although mood boards in reception showing proposed refurb. Not the cleanest. Bathroom really grubby and towel rails etc pure rust. Bed it’s self was clean though. Room was very spacious . TV on wall opposite bed and was a small screen so due to size of room very difficult to watch. Menu was very small, very expensive and choices were limited. As though trying to be high end in a run down venue. Grounds and entrance need some TLC. It’s easy to see it has been a gorgeous place in its day however now run down. In my opinion more refurbishment should have been carried out before opening. Staff though were very helpful and pleasant

I had the pleasure of visiting this beautiful hotel today!! What can I say , fantastic place ,beautiful location, and the staff where exceptional from Barry to dom to collet and a special mention to Pete an absolutely brilliant guy who no doubt could be in a boy band or a model if it doesn't work out in the hotel game,,amazing person.

Just returned home from a fabulous stay at The Hunday Manor Hotel, To start, the rooms were just what we needed, clean and had the essentials that were required. From checking in we have done nothing but enjoy our stay here, the food is beautiful and I’d highly recommend the Steak Pie. I’d like to give a special mention to the young gentlemen who were on the breakfast and evening shift, i belive their name is Matthew and Jack. They work extremely hard to make sure everyone is enjoying their stay and they go above and beyond. Two young hard workers which is nice to see. I’m looking forward to returning to the hotel when it’s been refurbished. Thanks again team!!

Stayed here Saturday for one night. Simple check in and whilst it was a bit of a climb to our room, we only had overnight luggage. Room was spacey and had everything we needed and some stuff we didn’t. Bathroom was a little tired but the hotel is mid renovation - can’t wait to try it when it’s finished. Gardens were lovely - loads of seats and a great view out to the ocean. We had dinner at the hotel and the food was excellent - breakfast the following morning was just as good. Highly recommended

All of the staff at this hotel are exceptional, the quality of the food is excellent, the rooms are lovely and clean, and the bedding and towels appear to be new. A little gem tucked away off the A595 and about 8 minutes drive from Cockermouth. We will certainly return. The hotel is about to have a refurbishment but doesn’t really need one. Top class establishment.

Very happy with our stay for the weekend. Lovely clean and comfortable room. Helpful and happy staff. Food was excellent for both breakfast and dinner.

Four of us visited and all had great experience Staff were really friendly and helpful Food was absolutely delicious

The breakfasts are incredible and the dinners are equally great. I would especially recommend anything fishy

The soup by far was the star of the show - it was delicious! Our mains were just ok - nothing to write home about. Service was wonderful though.

Great location, accommodation & food and particularly friendly and accommodating staff. Thoroughly recommended and likely to be a venue for another future stay.

Ate in two nights of our stay June 19-21. First night we ate from menu, I had pate to start then steak and ale pie, it was delicious. On this we decided to book Sunday evening too. Sunday had a set menu for Sunday dinners,...

Excellent food and service. Been lots of times and always the same experience- never disappoints. Will be back (as usual)

Treated my 98 year old grandmother and children to an afternoon tea here. Sadly I think that visiting on a Thursday during the Eat Out to Help Out scheme left us at a huge disadvantage. Though the sandwiches tasted fresh enough, the cakes and scones seemed as if they were left over from the (busy) prior three days. There were only two tables occupied on the day we attended, so perhaps they didn't deem that enough to make it worth cooking fresh cakes. One cake (we think it was supposed to be a mini cheesecake) was so off it had to be spat out. Scones were so dry they were virtually inedible. Very disappointed, particularly as with a party of five our total bill was large. An email to management has had no response.

Great hotel in a wonderful setting with really nice sea views. Good restaurant that serves good food. We found that the beer battered fish dish and the steak and ale pie dish were outstanding. Portions were big and excellent value. The more expensive dishes we found were not as good as they should have been apart from the creme brulee which was awesome. Cod loin was below par. Recommend the steak and ale pie, its a well made dish thats very tasty and enough to fill most appetites.Wine is good quality. The shiraz and the pinot grigio are very good. Ate here twice.

Taking advantage of the government scheme we booked in for a meal. It was a bit strange when we were told our table was ready & went through to thee dining room to find our food was already on the table & it seemed that the food was served on cold plates. I ordered the sea bass with chorizo & new potatoes which was really nice. Hubby had the venison, which was a bit chewy & difficult to cut. He could have done with a steak knife but couldn’t attract anyone’s attention as the staff seemed to be staying clear. The sticky toffee pudding was lovely

Very nice place with a calming feeling ideal for a wake, all staff were very professional and did their best to make everyone feel at ease

Stayed with my wife. we had a business meeting in the evening. Very cold day, but nice and warm inside. We stayed overnight in room 6. Comfy bed, nice shower TV, all OK. The only criticism was the room is dull, and the predominantly brown decor makes it all rather gloomy. It could do with more light, and some of the tiles etc in the bathroom are grubby. Such a shame really. The rate for B&B was Ok and we ate in the evening in the restaurant. This was very good, with a range of dishes and the service was fine. the same could be said of breakfast, friendly service and the food fine, so we would stay again.. NIce place overall with friendly staff

I attended a dinner; 90 were present. The food choice was made on the night. There was a wide choice of food The food was of good quality, hot and we'll presented.The service was prompt and courteous. The staff are experienced and clearly take a pride in their work.

Fantastic Sunday Roast as part of a varied 4 course meal for a bargain £21 per person. Well staffed, relaxing ambience and well maintained surroundings. We will definitely be back.

Rotary club 40th superb meal staff superb the whole night was brilliant recommended for weddings your day will be a great one

I took my Aunty for an afternoon tea treat.i had informed them upon booking that I was vegetarian. We were given a seat for 2 that was ok, however there was a larger table in the window with a beautiful view. My aunt asked if it was possible to sit there as she is from away amd loves the Cumbrian views. Without hesitation we were moved. Afternoon tea came and it was beautiful. Fresh food and plenty of tea. A wonderful selection. We even took some home. Fabulous service too.

Pleasant greeting, in a well decorated lounge area. There was a good choice of menu. The food was well presented and hot.

Just got back after a lovely short break with family. Staff, accommodation and food were all excellent. I would highly recommend and definitely come back. First night we enjoyed a wonderful meal in the restaurant. Both presentation, food and service were exceptional. We all enjoyed two delicious breakfasts. Probably one of the best that I’ve ever experienced in any hotel.

If asked which is the best returant in west cumbria. I have a only one answer without hesitation. This one

Firstly this review is 100 % genuine and just my opinion.I have recently had a nice evening meal here.I had the soup to start which was very nice ....although it was a small portion ....and I had the lamb dinner on the a la carte menu.This was also very nice but again the portion size could have been better for the overall price.Service was decent although the foreign waiter had a bit of attitude that I didnt find very appealing.It's a lovely hotel with an up market feel slightly overpriced I feel.I would not hesitate to return.

Just returned from a overnight stay at Hunday Manor. Staff were excellent especially the waiter at breakfast who was a bit of a character. The food was good and value for money. We booked through Travel zoo and we were to get a premier room as apposed to a standard room via this booking,but all l can say is I'm glad that we didn't get a standard room as the room we were given (room12) was on the small side with a double bed not much bigger than a single. But if you can avoid a room like we had then your stay should be enjoyable .

I went for afternoon tea as a late mothers day present. I cant faultthe food. The sandwich were delicious and the cake were lovely. Didn't feel sickly after eating the cakes. There was just enough to eat it all but not being over full

Meal and drinks for a night out. Great food and selection in comfortable surroundings. Happy to go there again

Had lunch on Easter sunday. We had forgotten what a pleasure it is to have Sunday lunch at a proper table in proper dining room ( as opposed to a pub). All good and going to make it a regular treat.

Excellent food in a lovely atmosphere. We ate with friends for my 70th birthday recently.

Went to a wedding here in June last year ..beautiful hotel and grounds perfect for a summer wedding ..food was hot and very tasty and staff were very attentive catering to our ever need .

staff friendly and very helpful ,the food was tasty, a good variety of choices on the menu, generous portions and reasonably priced, all food was served piping hot. We stayed in the hotel for 3 nights and chose to eat in the restaurant every evening as we enjoyed the food so much. there was a good selection of interesting and tasty vegetarian options, many fish options as well as plenty of traditional meat dishes

Well I have dine here quite a lot over the last 8 years so i decided to book a table for 12.30 on Mothers Day.

Delicious 4 course lunch with the family.Think as a family we must have sampled the whole menu and all enjoyed our choices. Service was excellent as always.

We took my parents here as part of their Christmas present and to do a walk up scarfell pike.

The staff and service at Hunday are second to none. Have stayed here many times when visiting family and have enjoyed each visit. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Lovely food, both dinner and breakfast. Room was spotless and service was great. Couldn’t fault it. Will be staying again.

I had never been before so I was quite excited as I had heard the good reviews. The staff were so attentive so our needs and made our visit special. The food from start to finish was outstanding and just the right amount. The Creme Brulee was possible the best we had eaten anywhere. There was a wedding going on to but the atmosphere was brilliant and the staff were very impressive. The outdoor area is beautiful to I can see why people have wedding receptions here. We are looking forward to our next visit.

We had booked an overnight stay at the hotel and had intended to find a restaurant locally. However having been so impressed with our welcome decided to give the restaurant at the hotel a try. Wow. So glad we did. The food was exceptional really couldn’t fault it. All four of us had something different and we each thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of choice on the menu so they certainly cater for everyone taste and hunger levels.

A true hidden gem, and one you must visit. I was so impressed with everything in this hotel and the staff are amazing, very professional, lovely way of dealing with their customers. Food was excellent. Great hotel for leisure, business and for weddings.

Booked for New Years Day lunch as cost was considerably less than being offered by comparable restaurants & glad that we did.

Good venue had a very nice dinner enjoyed by everyone would return again. Very well looked after by all staff.

Stayed here on business and the place was faultless until it came to showering in the morning.

Really wonderful food. Extensive menu with traditional favourites like steak, fish pie and gammon but also some specialities like venison and seafood dishes. All freshly prepared and cooked to order.

Tres agréable visite en famille et un excellent prix avec dinner inclus et déjeuner très bonne cuisine et même reçu trop de nourriture avec un très bon service

There are various choices of where to eat in this hotel and all are interesting. The best area is probably the conservatory. The food is good and well presented. The staff are friendly and helpful. I have eaten many many times here and have never been disappointed. The situation is lovely, plenty of parking and stunning views towards the Solway Firth, Sunsets are stunning.

We visited the Hunday Manor for the 3-4th time for there excellent Sunday lunch.

We visited Hunday Manor for my dad’s 70th birthday, we like it here when you want somewhere a little special as the main restaurant is silver service and a lovely chilled out vibe. Definitely not too posh or formal and you could still eat in the main restaurant in jeans and a shirt and for the ladies jeans and a dressy top x The food is well presented, good quality and generally smaller portions which I prefer as you can get away with eating 3 courses. A little more expensive than other restaurants in and around Workington/Whitehaven but worth it if you want somewhere you can stay all night without feeling you have to leave. The bar prices aren’t extortionate either. We don’t go very often but it’s a beautiful looking hotel and gardens and it’s nice to splash out now and again.

Have not been here for some years but wanted a change so decided to try the restaurant, booked online and easy to do so and the food was excellent i would recommend Hunday Manor no problem at all

Well it had to happen sooner or later, my first less than excellent review. On check in we were asked if we'd like to book a table as it could be busy later so we asked for a table for 3 at 7 o'clock. When we came down for dinner we sat in the lobby and looked through the menu. Once we'd decided what we'd like we went to go into the restaurant and were asked to sit back in the lobby and we'd be shown to our table once it was ready. Our order was taken about 5 minutes later. Now began the wait, after 30 minutes of sitting, waiting to be shown to our table we asked one of the staff when our table might be ready and the staff then had a bit of a discussion between them and the manager. We were shown to our table a few minutes later. The food we'd ordered was served literally a minute or two later, unfortunately two of the dishes were cold and sent back the other was fine and our friend finished his meal just as our two dishes were returned. We were not offered any drinks during the meal and left very disappointed. The Manager and staff were very apologetic and we were not charged for the food on checkout. I'm sure looking at other reviews that this is very unusual and normally this is an excellent restaurant but this was our experience on this occasion.

We booked a 2 night stay with Secret Escapes and choose a feature room. We had stared at this hotel a couple of months ago so knew what to expect. On checking in we were put in room 2 which was rather disappointing as on out last visit we had been in room 7 which was much nicer. Upon asking if we could change we were swooped to room 7 so we were very pleased. The reception staff really so their best to help you. Our evening meal on both nights was delicious and the service in the bar & restaurant friendly and efficient. Drinks prices are very reasonable for a 4 star hotel. We had a lovely time and I’m sure we will return

Beautiful surroundings well worth a visit. Met up with friends. Great helpful staff nothing is to much trouble. Been here before at a wedding reception. Highly reccomended.h

Only booked this hotel as we received an offer from Travelzoo.

Fantastic from start to finish... staff work so hard from start to finish! Very organised all meals arrived together it was beautiful.... Barry works so hard at his job and deserves a medal as this is not my first time here and he always gives 100% so well done Barry and team for making the wedding day extra special... the only downfall is price of drinks so expensive

I found the hotel to be immaculately clean, the staff were all pleasant and smartly dressed. The food and service was excellent. I would highly recommend this hotel .

Had a wonderful ruby wedding meal with family and friends. The service and the meal were superb. Thank you
