Decent feed before exploring the lakes. Nice enough bar with good food of an evening. Nice friendly waiter.
Mostly enjoyed.
Head as far west as you can and experience a side where rooms are super comfy and the food is as good as its people.

BEWARE - You may think you have booked the 4* Washington Central Hotel, only to find upon confirmation that you have actually booked into the Sleepwell Inn Annexe! Cleverly misleading advertising by the hotel can leave a sour taste! The Sleepwell Inn is across the road from the Washington Central and has absolutely no facilities within the building. So when your key card refuses to let you back into the building every time you exit then across the road you have to go - 4 times in 24 hours we made the trip. The night Porter even came over with us on one occasion stating that it was a regular thing that had been reported to Management but not fixed! The 'refurbished' rooms were definitely not 4* standard (even though the little sign on the outside clearly shows 4 stars - again, cleverly misleading advertising) they were at best hostel standard. After staying for 1 night I went over and asked the young girl on reception to cancel and refund the cost of the 2 rooms we had booked for 2 nights, stating that we would stay that night and check out the following morning! She didn't ask why (I assume she knew) and said the cancellation had been done! The next morning I went to check out and make sure that the cancellation and refund had been applied - this time I spoke to somebody that looked a little more important - I was told that that was the first time they had ever had a problem with the key card access (a clear lie as at one point there were a queue of people waiting at reception with the same issue) and was made to feel that it was my fault not theirs! I was also asked why I had not requested to be moved - again trying to put the blame onto me! Although in the next breath she informed me that they were fully booked, so even if the Night Porter had the authority to move us (which I am guessing would be way above his pay grade) he wouldn't have been able!

A beautiful property on the outskirts of Workington (although it is on the outskirts you are still walking distance from the centre and shops) . Stylish, spacious and clean with everything you need under one roof. The hosts were amazing! So kind, friendly and accommodating. It was so good we decided to book another night whilst staying in the Lake District!!!

Has all you need in close proximity. Lots of dodgy driving in town. Stay frosty!
If you're exploring the lakes this is great access and after adventure comforts.

Workington was better than expected Plenty of shops and parking Flowers were blooming and very colourful on a lot of the streets It was a good place for us to stay as a base, we travelled around the coast line up to Gretna where a wedding was going on.
We went around the Lake district and found St Bees a lovely place to watch surfers , swimming and peddle boarding and lots of children enjoying the pools after the sea had gone out
I am of the older generation so like to people watch very relaxing

It's one of the start points for the C2C cycle or walk routes - the others are at Whitehaven or St Bees. Both those are much nicer than Workington.
I ate in the Henry Bessemer - a Wetherspoon's pub, which was good value WYSIWYG. Cheaper there than the awful hotel Waverley by several quid - and drinks much better value too.

A busy little town near the Solway Coast.
A busy little town near the Solway Coast. Tricky one way system until you become used to it. The town has a number of takeaway establishments but would benefit from more eateries. A good leisure centre and nice walks in this area.

Fairly quiet place not too much to do in workington itself.
Fairly quiet place not too much to do in workington itself. Ideal to use as base. We used wetherspoons quite alot for eating and drinking it's about a 5 minute walk away just past the bus station.
We were very impressed with the service and had a great stay. We were a bit disappointed with our first room and asked to upgrade to a room in the associated hotel, Washington Central, and this request was granted. As we were on our honeymoon, the front desk even offered us a huge discount on the upgrade to make our stay more special - it was an above and beyond gesture that we appreciated so much. Great service and nice amenities (pool, sauna, hot tub).
It is only 28 minutes from Keswick so it is a great choice for a budget vacation in Lake District. I had Room 1 which was on the ground floor close to the entrance (but further from bathroom). Spacious, neat room. Host says bring own toiletries but all you need is shower gel, the rest including towels and toilet paper was available. Location in Workington town is good, quiet, always had parking.
Me and husband arrived at the hotel and the young girl on reception was very helpful and sweet ..After checking in and going to our room we were disappointed..The room was very dated but clean so that was good…The hotel was very quiet during our visit so we had no problems with noise…But the bed was so uncomfortable really hard and we didn’t sleep very well at all ….

There was a excellent full English breakfast with local bacon and sausage. The room had a very handy fridge which was remarkably quiet and some fresh milk was kindly provided. A big bonus was the microwave oven in the breakfast room which guests could use up to 8pm - as it turned out Workington was not over-endowed with places to eat out in the evening.
Room is good value with all the expected facilities. Really nice bonus that for £10 extra you can use the facilities for the hotel across the road, including sauna, large swimming pool, jacuzzi and gym.
Breakfast was good, fairly priced and well worth it. Location is right in the town if you want to go to any bars or restaurants.
The location was good and the breakfast was to die for(exceptional). The hostess Sue was at the door ready to greet us which was lovely. Beautiful accommodation and surrounding gardens. I would definitely recommend these cottages and I would also stay there again when visiting Workington. Thank you Sue.
An excellent location in the town centre closer to most facilities / restaurants. Di and Rob are excellent hosts. A high quality cooked breakfast. Room was very clean with high quality linen and comfy bed. I would love to come back. A value for money.
Lovely little cottage in a really nice quiet location of Workington. Super comfortable bed with nice soft bedding. Really clean. Everything you need for home to home environment. The little touches made it extra special. Will definitely stay again.
Staff were brilliant,Pete Dom Barry &Collette were first class...our every need was met.Beautiful gardens &vista.....so relaxing just the break we needed to recharge our batteries. Would highly recommend this hotel,will definitely be back soon.
Friendly , Clean and the staff pay so much attention to detail. I couldn’t fault this hotel at all . OK , some may say it’s dated but I disagree , we had a great stay
