The property is old and the decor could definitely do with a facelift but don't let this put you off. The position is great for both exploring Lancaster and the South lakes (5 min from the Moor Lane Car Park in the city) and within a short drive of the Western Dales, Ingleton, Settle etc and the people were helpful...

Check in from 3pm - arrived 5pm to be told the heating would be coming on in 15 minutes. Approx 30mins later the lukewarm radiator came on. We had booked a table for an evening meal but decided it was too cold to eat there. The heating went off again overnight and was still off at 8am. It was very... More

He advised us on places... More

Fraid to say, rather run down, damp and dusty smelling property that would of been modern and in its day in 1975. Old blue tatty cups and saucers, anaglyptic wallpaper and frosted glass awaits you in reception. Toilets were old and miserable looking, really need a full refit, hotel was cold and resulted in me walking about with my jacket... More

A warm welcome from a very knowledgeable chap. Tea offered and taken in the lounge with a lovely roaring log fire. When we went to our room we saw why the delay, it was freezing, they don't fire the boiler up until 4pm. Am I being a bit sceptical? It also didn't fire up until 8 the next morning and... More

We had a good sized TV, hairdryer, tea/coffee making and there was a fan heater in case we felt cold. The bar was cosy with... More
