Owner was really friendly understanding and polite . A joy to stay overnight and would go back again.

Steven United Kingdom

Excellent breakfast. Location convenient as we were on our way from Scotland and needed to break the journey. A paooer by told us where to park the car which was behind the house off the main street.

Peter United Kingdom

Host was very helpful. Room was clean and breakfast was great. A gardenview would be better.

Allen United States of America

Superb. Really comfortable, cosy room. The breakfast was superb and the hotel is located within a 2 minute walk of a great pub on the canal. We stayed before cycling the way of the roses and it was a great jump off point.

Marshall United Kingdom

Fantastic breakfast, plenty of good quality and tasty food

Mark United Kingdom

We have stayed here before as it is close to were we wanted to be. Our dog is always welcomed as well. Angela is a perfect host, she's very friendly and helpful and there's always little touches in our room fresh milk in a thermos flask to slices of cake and jellybeans in a jar. The breakfast is superb, with a really good choice. At the present all guidelines are followed with hand sanitizer outside each room. Our room was spotless.

Jan United Kingdom

Host was friendly and accommodating.Rooms were clean and clear measures to maintain hygiene with sanitisers available and reminders to wear masks. Breakfast was very generous and the place us oet friendly.Close to the sea and scenic walk nearby too.

Georgina United Kingdom

The property is outstanding value for money. The owners are lovely and room was spacious and spotlessly clean. Lots of little touches made it even more special and the breakfast sausages were amazing.

Angela United Kingdom

Friendly hosts who made us very welcome. Lovely clean, large, well-equipped room, with en-suite. Fantastic breakfast. On site parking. Would definitely recommend.

Sadie United Kingdom

I was only stopping over en route to Scotland but would happily have stayed longer, the location seemed like a great base to explore the Morecambe Bay area from, the room and bed were very comfortable and the breakfast was great with plenty of options.
