Ferry cancelled

An unexpected stay here after a cancelled ferry at Heysham but what a gem, such helpful staff, off road parking, amazing food and spotless clean. Ignore any dubious reviews, yes there are tired spots but these are all far outweighed by the positives. Only a 15 minute drive to Heysham too…

Got a dog? Worth a stay.

Nice hotel - good food, doggy super-friendly (even meals and ice-cream) - car park huge but not in peak times - only negative was the walls a little thin but nothing major. Distance to carnforth, lancaster and morecambe fine. Lovely people.

Room clean, linen well provided, crisp and clean, bed very comfortable. Television good. Good on-siute toilet and shower . Staff friendly. Out of hours exit requires use of fire escape to poorly lit area of uneven ground. Lighting to that area needed. Otherwise carry a torch. Would defiantly stay again.

Fire escape needed to leave room!

The room was fine, if a little noisy from the road and the food in the pub was good. However, once the pub closes if you want to leave the room to walk the dog etc you need to use a steel, slippery fire escape. I'm 67 and didn't like it, my dog hated it too. I'm afraid I will not be returning.

I'd return without any hesitation.

The manager was helpful as the roller blind did not work properly and the retaining cable(s) had to be cut for the blind to drop and cut out the daylight. The evening meal was excellent.

A great hotel in a good location close to the sea with an excellent beer garden backing onto the canal. Fantastic food let down by a slow service between courses. The room was clean and comfortable although the extractor fan for the kitchen was directly outside the windows. Easy access for those who needed to leave early with a key dropbox and friendly efficient staff on reception and behind the bar. Bus stop outside to take you to Lancaster, Morecambe or pther destinations. Good walks along the canal in both directions.

The room was comfortable and clean and the food, both at breakfast and dinner, was great. However there is a main road outside and it's a bit loud if you are not used to it.
