Your kind words about our hotel…
“This is a fun hotel to stay in, with fantastic access to all the local attractions. Super close to the train station for ease in getting there, and walking distance to the castle, museums, Lune aquaduct, and more. The staff was friendly and helpful; we especially enjoyed our interactions with Frank. Afternoon tea was delightful.”
KL Brown (October, 2023)
“Lovely hotel welcoming polite and helpful staff. We stayed for two nights for a murder mystery event. The event was spectacular throughout, very well organised, whilst the dinner served was again excellent. Would highly recommend and will most certainly be returning. The hotel is also well situated for exploring Lancaster, whether it be sight seeing, shopping or for a night out.”
Denese (October, 2023)
“I have stayed at this hotel a number of times and will continue to do so. I always find the staff very welcoming, professional and always willing to help. The hotel has character, it’s situated close to the railway station, historical buildings, car parks and of course the city centre with shops, bars and restaurants. The rooms have everything you need including ear plugs and eye masks. I give it 5 stars overall because I am always impressed with the little touches and the positives far outweigh any negatives.”
Jacky (October, 2023)
“Absolutely lovely welcoming staff with 24/7 front desk staff if you need anything. Booked directly online and not only got a cheaper rate but also a £5 voucher to use in the bar downstairs. Restaurant is lovely with a nice selection of food plus a good deal on the early bird menu.
Our rooms were lovely! Nice large bathroom and a good sized room for our stay (plus sleep masks were a nice touch). Plus the hotel is very close to the town centre so it’s a perfect walking distance to town and the castle!”
