Great Stay

The room was clean, modern & spacious. The staff were helpful & friendly. The breakfast was good. The only thing I’d have liked is a bit more water pressure from the shower. Everything else was spot on.

Booked 3 days to use the spa as celebrating our 55th anniversary but the spa was closed for 2 of them which spoiled our break. Spent most of our time away from the hotel because of this. Otherwise we had a lovely room and the staff were all very nice. Breakfasts were excellent.

Parking charge

Appalled that the hotel attempted to charge £12 on checkout for parking ! No other way to get to hotel other than drive and not as if the car park was busy! Should not be charging residents/ guests for parking.

Would definitely visit again! We had a free room upgrade and it was a significant improvement on the room we had anticipated - thank you very much! The room looked a little tired and so were some of the corridor/stair areas too. Our wasn't perfectly clean - the windows, mirrors and a large crisp was fairly obvious but overall, it was good. The sound deadening was notably good even with a wedding party in progress. We had a meal in the Sandeman restaurant with our daughter and friend. We all enjoyed our meal, excellent service too. The leisure facility as previously, was excellent. Really enjoyed it. Again as previously, the staff were excellent, warm, welcoming and helpful. Mr Srees served us twice on reception, top marks!! Ok, needs some maintenance and a little extra attention to cleaning but overall, a lovely hotel. The entrance and reception area is particularly enchanting. Hope to visit again in the coming year.

A lovely hotel with great facilities and excellent location next to the University and stones throw from the City of Lancaster. What stood out for us was the staff. The customer service was of the highest quality and we were made to feel extremely welcome. We highly recommend this high quality hotel.
