Superb place to stay! The staff are all so friendly and welcoming. The rooms are lovely, really comfy beds and nicely decorated. The food is exceptional and there’s a great array of craft ales! We will most definitely stay here again when visiting Lancaster. 5 stars!
United KingdomPossibly 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.
United KingdomStaff was wonderful. Room a bit small for 2 but clean. Food was great.
