The Old Ginn House Inn

Have stayed here a few times now with my parents over the past few years. It's always an absolutely wonderful stay. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The bar is reasonably priced. The food is fantastic, again very reasonably priced and generously portioned. My parents tend to stay in the courtyard suite because one of them has mobility issues, and it's a wonderful suite. I usually stay in a classic/standard double, which suits my needs just fine, and the beds are comfy, the showers are great, etc. The only tiny negative I have is that the Wi-Fi can be hit and miss in rooms, which can make getting a bit of work done in the morning before breakfast and going out for the day or before dinner a little difficult. Looking forward to visiting again in May this year.

Have stayed twice over a 2 week period and in 2 different rooms. The first was room 1 the suite and close to the main bar and restaurant. It was lovely and spacious, lovely bathroom and even though it’s close to the entrance it is a quiet room. The 2nd room was across the way from the entrance and was a double room on the ground floor. No complaints here either. WiFi was hit and miss - only downside if I need to work. The food was lovely both at dinner and at breakfast. The bar had energy and great ambience. The staff were all great especially Lucy - nothing was too much trouble. Very down to earth and felt at home here. When I am back in Workington I will book again 👍

I've stayed at this guest house/pub/restaurants 4 time's once with my other half a few years ago I've stayed with work 3 time's my last visit 23/14 September Found all staff always friendly, the food is good pub grub and lots of it ☺️ very tasty and lots to choose from The chef cooked breakfast is a good start to the day Rooms have everything you need on a night away tea coffee chocolate/biscuits shower gel. I stay away every week and travel all over the UK and have a lot of knowledge and can compare places you can't go wrong with places like this Price wise, I get B&B evening meal with drinks for the same price as a big chain hotel The only thing I would change is a bigger TV 😉 I don't understand or agree with the ranting reviews!! In life it's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice Some people need to get a grip nothing is perfect

Nothing stands out as worthy of high praise, it's all very average. What does grate is the unwelcoming attitude of the staff, they're efficient and functional but would be better employed outside the hospitality industry. Not on our repeat booking list.

What a lovely place this is. The manager is nice and friendly, very welcoming. Food is really nice, beds are comfortable, room is nice and clean, wish we could of stayed for longer. Can't wait to come back.

We had a lovely stay here. The only grumble is the waiting staff were very un-attentive! When we arrived for our reservation we were slapped with a couple of menus and told your table is over there with a wave of the hand and point of a finger I would at least expect to be shown to our table. Throughout the meal there were no staff to be seen, nobody asked if we needed anything extra or if our food was ok. We had to go to the bar to get the bill as again nobody around to ask. The following morning at breakfast we were not told about the buffet down the stairs and when the waitress had finally finished talking in reception we finally ordered our food. Again she disappeared and we didn't see her again before we left. The reception staff were great, food great, great atmosphere, room fab but your serving staff really could do with some training.

As soon as we entered into the reception there was a welcoming and friendly vibe which continued throughout the whole of our stay. We were shown to our family room which was situated across a small courtyard on the ground floor to accommodate my disabled sister. The room was clean and spacious beds were comfortable and had everything we required e.g free Wi-Fi tea/coffee making facilities bath/shower facilities. The only thing that we felt was missing was a fridge. The restaurant was back in the main building and advice would be to book a table as this is a very popular place to eat for both visitors and locals. As soon as we walked in we were shown to our table. The menu is varied and caters for all tastes eg child/senior portions (prices are reduced by £2.00 for senior portions as they are slightly smaller). On this occasion I chose the steak pie and my sister the chicken and ham pie which came with veg chips or mash. We didn’t have to wait long for our food which was served piping hot and oh my the size of the portions were enormous. The food was delicious- the meat tender and succulent and not a bit of fat even the vegetables were delicious and tender. We both took one for the team and just about managed to finish our meal (I don’t know how) but during our stay we never did get round to any puddings. Breakfast was the same good choice and piping hot. When our stay was over neither of us wanted to leave as we had been looked after so well. We now have relatives who live in Maryport and this will now be our go to place to stay. Thanks to all the staff and special mention to the chefs who made our stay special.

So glad we found the old ginn house. Parking was no problem, reception was pleasant & efficient. The room was very nice & modern with a large walk in shower with shampoo, shower gel, nice towels & plenty hot water. Bed was large & very comfortable. In room was large tv & tea/coffee making facilities. Breakfast was excellent with full Cumbrian breakfast or virtually anything you want. Evening meals are very good & large but make sure to book as it gets full. All the staff are wonderful & try their best to make sure you have a good stay at their hotel. We would highly recommend this hotel & would return without hesitation.
