Well to start with I only have good things to say about the The Shard. The service from the moment I arrived to the moment I left was great, very friendly and very helpful. The rooms were very well equipped and spotless. Wifi was free (if a little slow now and again but cant complain with it being free) and... More

My mum and I recently visited (April 2013) after having had a bereavement and needing a pick us up. The visit was wonderful. I chose this hotel as it ticked all the boxes including parking, small hotel, excellent reviews, close to Cleveleys, Lytham etc, evening meal available, good price. On arrival they checked the bookings and found they could give... More

I really don't understand the hype around this place. OK the view is great if you are lucky enough to have one. But the rooms are not much up from a well known budget lodge chain. The deluxe and signature rooms are just a slightly larger version of the standard with the possible addition of a bit of wallpaper. All... More

Hi cheshiremanc, 19 out of our 23 rooms have a direct and unspoilt river view, and our Deluxe En-suite doubles are excellent value. I know this because literally thousands of people stay in them every year and the vast majority leave happy after enjoying their stay. Sure we don't get it right 100% of the time, but we do try...

Called in for lunch. What a brilliant place. Best ham sandwich I think I have ever had. Came with home made piccalilly and home made skinny chips. Lovely modern place, friendly staff, reasonable prices. We'll be back the next time we visit the area.

Called here for lunch on Saturday and was very impressed with both the standard of food and the surroundings. Our party enjoyed draught local beer and cider, can highly recommend the Bowland brewery ale.

The riverside setting of this hotel made it for me. The river is tidal, so the view is constantly changing, and I loved watching the birds on it. We had a family room with a window overlooking the river, which was a plus. The restaurant also looks over it, worth booking a table early to be sure of a riverside... More
