Ok for two nights

Room was quite big which was great. Had all we needed. The condition was tired and bathroom is in need of an update. Wobbly tap, mildew surround, tiles coming off. Shower pressure was good. Two beds in the room, one mattress was fine, the other you could feel the springs. Dismantled it to add the spare quilt under the sheet for comfort and found stains on the mattress cover. There was a dirty towel left on the back of the door and a coffee cup lid behind the chair-more care needed when cleaning up. No toilet roll left. It was warm, adequate for our needs.

Not a place to stay.

A bit shocked when we turned up. Not what a expert. Overgrown bushes around the place, locked up properly which looked closed down (which it was) phone number to call to get a key code to get the keys to the room, lady was really helpful, the rooms are not in the main building, they are separate to the back. Finally got into hall way, never good to see a window boarded up, got into the room, First impression where wow, how big is this room, never stayed in one so big. Thats where the good bits end. Wind noise from the window due to it being broken (no latch and catch), poor lighting, one not working in the bathroom, one broken in the main room. Next, some youths use the space under the building to smoke weed, stuck really bad. On are last night, someone in the next room had left the bathroom extractor when they left, sounded like a helicopter in our room, phone the number that where given for out off hours service, both went to answer phone, 5 days later still no reply. 3 nights away with only one nights sleep. Will not be going back. Carnforth itself isnt a bad place, the locals where friendly.

Spacious family suite for a very reasonable price. The bathroom and bedding was clean. A little dusty in places. Corridors need a good clean and there was a boarded window. Check-in worked well but couldn't get hold of anyone before arriving despite using all channels via booking site, direct telephone number, text etc. Was concerned it didn't actually exist but it worked well for us.

After phoning twice their published number to get access codes for my stay they responded mid evening to my calls. As I was not sure I would get a response I had had to make alternate arrangements to ensure accomodations for the night. To rub salt in the wound I was sent two parking tickets for 60 pounds each when I parked in their lot to make the two phone calls. What a joke!!

You get less for your money

Check is is self service key in a key lock which was fine. Lodge had broken/boarded up windows in corridor which wasn’t very welcoming. Room was clean but Curtain hanging off Tie backs for curtains gone showing paint and screw holes so not finished decor Aerial on TV didn’t work. And very noisy early in the morning. Pub itself we never saw it open ( I know it doesn’t say it’s a pub but that’s not clear from some of the pictures shown on site).

Very good sized room - but definitely the building and surrounding area were very 'tired' looking. When we arrived to be absolutely honest we didn't think it was open. That all said, the location was excellent (we used it as a stop-over travelling down from Scotland to The Midlands) and the staff we spoke to remotely were very friendly and helpful. Although The County Lodge Brasserie wasn't open when we stayed, the Station Hotel (few minutes walk away) was a decent place to eat. Overall, the location was decent value for money (but would be good to see weeds from guttering removed and broken windows repaired, then I think overall it would look far more appealing)

“Run down” would be a generous description. “In need of renovation” would also not suffice. Rooms are in the annex a short walk across the car park. Toilet would not flush properly but they had kindly provided a bucket to fill from the shower! Went to check out at 8:30 and found the building locked and abandoned with a key safe hanging on the door handle, presumably to drop off the key. It wasn’t even very cheap; wouldn’t go back if you paid me.

Nice stay in a basic budget room

The lodge bar and restaurant was closed during my stay and I collected my room key by calling a number then opening a lock box. This was fine and no trouble. The room was basic but clean and tidy with everything I needed, tea, coffee, kettle, milk, soap etc. I was on my own for a one night stay and the location was great with plenty of parking. I travelled by motorcycle so it was to find plenty of things to chain it to. Even with the bar closed there were plenty of places to eat and drink within a short walk and I found some cracking real ale and craft ale pubs with friendly locals.
