The beach was right outside your window, was a lovely sight to wake up to.
There could be just a few more sachets of sugar and maybe an option of De-caf Tea & Coffee, I myself drink it & I know quite a few people do drink it nowadays. That’s about it.

The view, the quietness, the bed and the location.
No staff :-( which meant the security felt a bit weak, just a small lock on our door and the main entrance was unlocked all the time.

Location right next to the sea is a memorable experience, when gale force winds are hitting the windows from the Irish Sea. The beach is great for a walk and even a swim. We had a good night's sleep and the beds were comfortable. The housekeeping lady we met in the morning was very friendly. We made good use of the EV charger (three phase 11/22 KW which is definitely better than expected albeit very high unit cost 80p). The railway line next-door is lightly used and the DMUs are relatively quiet so haven't affected our stay.
As a suggestion: Since there are no breakfast options on site you could set up a self catering kitchen so that guests can prepare there own breakfast in the morning without having to find another place.
When we arrived at the property we noticed the following issues which were partly addressed:
- Towel with red stains (replaced the next morning)
- Kettle with burned black substance inside (replaced the next morning)
- Pipe to rainshower head in bathroom was no longer supported by the wall bracket (lose fixtures in the wall), water leaking from mixer tap - not fixed during our stay
- Curtains dirty and stained, edges torn
There is no lift at the property and as a result you need to be prepared to carry your bags up the stairs into the upper floors.
In general the property could benefit from some TLC and the concept of an unmanned operation with unlocked front door (despite CCTV in place) where anyone could walk in may not suit everyone.
Overall we expected a little bit more than what we experienced at this room rate.

Breakfast was served in their other hotel "a minute down the road" but as it was a work trip there was no time for faffing about going to another hotel to eat. Paid for breakfast but after contacting the hotel to ask why it wasn't available, I wasn't offered a refund. The breakfast arrangements should have been made clear before / during the booking process.

The rooms were very spacious, clean and well furnished with modern equipment. Bathrooms had lovely showers with lots of hot water. Bed was comfortable. All in all extremely satisfied with the accommodation.
No improvements needed. The accommodation was very acceptable.

Really clean, comfy bed and spacious room. Served our purpose for the coast to coast and offered lots of facilities by local firms, either delivered to the hotel or in local pubs.
A little dated and one room (2) needed redecorating due to the damp on the external wall.

The location was great to access walking up Scafell Pike. Another great plus was the room for meeting inwhich was so convenient for our large party. Sea views were a bonus..
It would have been good to have a sink in the dining room.

Had a very large room on top floor overlooking the sea and beach. Ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower and plenty of storage space. Good parking. Quiet and peaceful location. I like places that 'leave you alone'. I would stay there again.

Nice view.Good room size.
Good to have a bar fridge.
Lack of attention to detail.TV remote had no batteries. The bulb of the bathroom vanity light was missing. The curtains just need help as they are poorly hung.The room decor needs updating.No glasses provided - ours were plastic.We had a downstairs room, close to the entry - so a fair bit of noise from upstairs and guests coming in and out.No aircon in our room.

From the moment we arrived in seascale it was breath taking the beach and surrounding areas were picturesque...when we arrived at the bailey Lodge it was so straight forward to get to your room...and the rooms were amazing the sea view we had from our window was soothing and very relaxing...we love seascale...
There wasn't anything we didn't like at all...

The beach
Nothing local, no shop or pub. No where to eat on a Sunday evening. Towels weren't replaced, we left them on the corridor floor as per instructions, not replaced so damp dirty towels for duration.

Our room was perfect. Beautiful sea views. A large, well-equipped room with a large double bed, and finally, from our travels, a TV large enough for the room size. There was a fridge for cold drinks and snacks. We needed to do some work, and the desk and chair were just right to work in peace and comfort.
The en-suite was fitted with quality fittings and had a large walk-in shower, featuring both a rain overhead shower and a hand-held, smaller shower. The shower gel, shampoo, and soaps are of top quality, all complemented by the large, fluffy towels for a perfect guest experience.
There were a few parking spaces behind the hotel, and plenty of free, quiet street parking was also available. As we entered through the main door, our key and room instructions were waiting on the table for us. The guest welcome letter explained in greater detail where to find breakfast the next day, including days and times, as well as local options.
We noticed that we didn't have a spoon for our tea from the tea and coffee facilities available. We contacted Richard, the owner, via the mobile number supplied, and he appeared with a big smile and welcome in ten minutes and two spoons.
The hotel is warm, welcoming, super clean, and superbly furnished. We loved listening to the sound of the sea at night.
If you enjoy walking or running, the England Coastal Path is just outside the hotel, accessible via a nearby path.
In the morning, we went to Mawson's ice cream parlour, which also serves breakfast at the beach. The whole vibe of the area and the friendliness of the locals were lovely, making for an enjoyable weekend.
There wasn't anything we didn't like. Excellent all round and we stay away regularly ten out of ten.

The location was ideal for anyone who drives. It has magnificent views if you get a room with sea views. It is a warm property. It was quiet when we were there, which was ideal to sleep. There were plenty of plugs.
The bedlinen was badly marked. The fridge had been disconnected meaning it wasn't great at keeping things cool. The curtains were woefully inadequate. the carpet was bleach marked in spots. The property is quite dated (nothing wrong with that really) but the ashtray at the entrance is over flowing and nobody on site mainly.

No owner to be seen, breakfast had to be at nearby hotel, curtains falling off window and on ground floor so felt a bit vulnerable as single female. Clean sheets and bathroom so served it's purpose but for £94 per night poor value

It was very peaceful. No noise to be heard from other rooms. We used nearby places to eat, did not choose take away deliveries. Will visit again for a longer stay and recommend to friends and family.

Brilliant views and great position for other amenities. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The views from the room and the nearness of being able to walk to the beach
Had no heating and no hot water after driving six hours from London and when we called provided numbers, there was no answer or assistance, so spent the night in a freezing, beachfront room. Our stay was 26 Nov 2022.

Great location close to the beach which was perfect for us and our dog, access to dining room to eat our own food was helpful as well.
to be honest we got what we expected and as such there was nothing to dislike.
