Feedback about The Queens from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Queens is often chosen for its convenience to the station and its proximity to both the village center and the beach, about a 15-minute walk away, making it ideal for those embarking on the Coast to Coast walk with the zero point within a similar distance. Guests frequently praise the food, particularly the excellent breakfast with its huge menu choice, and also enjoy dinner in the well-decorated dining room. Many find the rooms spacious, although some have noted that certain aspects of the decor could benefit from an update. The hotel's location also provides easy access to St Bees Priory, and a pleasant beer garden offers a relaxing space at the rear.

the hotel benefits from its close proximity to the train station, a major convenience for travellers. it is a short walk, maybe 10-15 minutes, to the coast to coast zero point and the town shops are easily accessible too.
