The hotel from the outside looks like it needs a lick of paint but it's next to the sea so this is to be expected. The views are stunning and the position of The Midland is perfect. The staff go above and beyond, they are polite, friendly and efficient and obviously very well trained. The food was excellent particularly our delicious breakfast with proper loose leaf tea served in a silver pot with tea strainers for each cup. Our room was really comfortable with a balcony looking out to sea with the Lake District fells in the background. We had such a lovely, relaxing stay and will definitely be back again, hopefully very soon. Highly recommended 👌.
