Hotel is very nice in a good location. Staff were all excellent (young Katherine in the restaurant was brilliant!) Breakfast was really good. Food in the restaurant was lovely too. Don’t like having to pay (£12.00) to park in the hotels own car park, if I’d noticed this when booking I would have booked elsewhere. Also there was only one bath towel and one hand towel for the two of us……. Otherwise it was good..

It was a lovely room but there seemed to be a problem with the heating because it was rather chilly. I was dismayed to be charged £12 for parking as nowhere was it stated at the time of booking that it would be the case. I was told by the receptionist that it was a charge for Expedia who take the money. I shall enquire with them.

Stayed one night on a business trip. Overall okay, but for £200+ a night I expected more. The hotel feels outdated and is probably more suited to the older generation. Food was overpriced and disappointing, £70 for four small plates with chicken, sausages and cauliflower steak tasting off. Service was quite slow due to staff shortages. The room had stains on the carpet, a patio door letting in water, and faulty doors that felt like they could come off the hinges at any point. Pillows sank in the middle but puffed up at the sides, leaving me with a sore neck. Positives were the pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and the cosy fire in reception. Fine for a quick trip, but I’d eat in Lancaster town instead. Would recommend a decor update.
