A wonderful place to stay

We were greeted on arrival by a very welcoming young lady who checked us in and showed us to our room. Room was spotless and beautifully decorated. Stayed to eat some lunch, service was friendly and efficient. After a wander round Lancaster, back to our room for showers and a change. Bathroom was clean, toiletries to hand and enough towels for the two of us. We had a quick drink before heading off for our evening meal, the bar was busy but didn’t have to wait very long. On checkout the following morning, we were asked how our stay was and wished well. Couldn’t have asked for anything more, we felt welcome and enjoyed our stay very much.

The room was freezing cold and no matter what they trid to do with heating it would not warm up the room, I ended up buying a portalble electric heater. What wasnt mentioned about the hotel was you had to climb 6 flights of stairs to your room(no lifts available) and with us both having mobility issues it was really hard work

Parking was an issue, but that seems to be the norm on this trip to Cumbria. Otherwise, we loved the dining options, friendly staff and spacious room.

Absolute gem!

Absolutely fabulous hotel and bar. The service was fantastic, everyone was friendly and cheerful. The room (superior double) was spacious, modern and spotless. Bathroom was lovely, with big walk-in shower (no bath). Breakfast was very good. The bar was a bonus, lots of local beers and open until 1am of a weekend - we didn't hear any noise from our room. We used Cable St. for Parking - a 4 minute walk, £14 for 24 hours -

It is quiet and well-maintained, right near the train station, the Lancaster Castle, and lots of downtown shops and restaurants. The food is tasty. There are a lot of steps into and out of the hotel spaces (and no lift). If you're up for that exercise, it is a charming place to stay.
