Possibly the friendliest welcome from reception/bar man we've ever received. Small room but well designed and beautifully decorated. Quality touches such as a cafetiere and coffee. So much nicer than sachet coffee. Fantastic shower and quality toiletries. Room was spotless. We've been in the bar many times and the atmosphere and choice of beers is excellent.

One of our top picks in Lancaster.This 17th century, luxury, boutique hotel is the only 4-star hotel in the center of Lancaster, and is superbly located in the heart of the city center.

The hotel was originally built in the 17th century and is the oldest bar/hotel still operating in Lancaster. With luxurious rooms and comfortable furnishings, the hotel is an ideal base for an upmarket stay in the city.

The hotel is located in the very center of Lancaster, within yards of the castle and all the city's other attractions. St Martin’s College (University of Cumbria) and Lancaster University are both an easy commute from the hotel. The hotel regularly welcomes many visiting academics from both institutes.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.

Breakfast price only included a cooked option and tea or coffee, no fruit or cereal or toast. This seems a bit mean and it was not.made clear to us at the time.
