The Mansion

We chose the Mansion for our family group’s three-night stay, based on recommendations from local friends, and it did not disappoint. We occupied several ground-floor rooms and were immediately impressed. The rooms were immaculately maintained, spotlessly clean, and tastefully decorated, featuring comfortable beds, excellent en suite facilities, high-speed internet, and televisions with a good selection of channels. Tea and coffee-making facilities, along with spectacular views, enhanced our stay. The Mansion also has an honour bar upstairs and a fridge for residents, which is a thoughtful touch. The breakfast was spectacular – freshly cooked to order with a variety of options. The full English was particularly amazing, and the vegetarian choices were equally impressive. Unlimited tea, coffee, and juices made for the perfect start to each day. Having dined in Whitehaven for many years, I can honestly say it’s one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in town. The welcome and hospitality were exceptional. Ian and Nav are the perfect hosts – genuinely warm and friendly, striking the right balance to make the Mansion feel like a home away from home. Our entire group was unanimously impressed, and we will happily recommend the Mansion and look forward to returning on future visits to the area.

Nice cosy room with en-suite. In the middle of nowhere, not really much to do. Breakfast was ok, however, we didn’t get offered tea or coffee.

I have stayed at the Mansion on 2 previous occasions when visiting family in West Cumbria. This time it was for a wedding and I was with 2 relatives from Canada. We arrived late as had to do airport pick ups but there was no issue with this as we had good communication beforehand. I stayed in my "usual" room a deluxe double and family were in more modern room on ground floor. They were very pleased with their room and were very very happy with the breakfasts which are cooked from fresh with local products. As always we were made to feel very welcome by Nav and the standard of the accommodation is very good value for the price especially as breakfast and car parking is included One comment from family : hooks on downstairs bathroom door would be very welcome.

August 2024 Quiet, cozy, and beautiful. The owners, Ian and Nav, are extremely friendly and care about your comfort needs. The view from the garden courtyard is beautiful and extremely relaxing. Minutes from beautiful downtown Whitehaven. We were very happy and pleased with our 5 day stay. The room was very comfortable and had a beautiful view of the gorgeous garden. Ian is an excellent cook and cooks breakfast according to your needs. The English breakfast is excellent. Nav has the green thumb, and his plants throughout the Mansion are beautiful. They are the best, most accommodating host of this historical mansion.

What a great find this lovely B&B is. Nav & Ian can’t do enough for you. We had room 3 which is a deluxe room with amazing views over towards Whitehaven marina and onto Scotland. We had a sofa in our big room which was a nice extra and of course, a kettle for a much deserved brew. Comfy bed and clean room. Breakfast was cooked using good ingredients, plenty of choice and always served with a smile. Plenty of parking. The pub a few doors down has closed down, but there is a lovely bar for residents. WiFi is very strong. There is a lovely secluded garden out back full of plants and flowers to relax in, which we did. They have an indoor pool which we didn’t get time to use, but will make sure we do next time. Thankyou Nav & Ian for making our little break a nice relaxing one.
