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

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.

Have stayed here a LOT on business over the last few months. Every time I stay here am greeted warmly and friendly. All rooms I've stayed in have been warm, spotless with a great TV, nice tea & coffee and good bathroom facilities. Food is amazing - everything I've tried has been great. Cannot fault the service or quality of... More

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

This is the best hotel I have stayed in and I've stayed in quite a few. From the booking process to check out the service was spot on. We stayed in room 16 on the top floor, which is beautifully appointed with a lovely view. The room has a large bed, double shower room, comfy sofa and two televisions! Breakfast... More
