Okay for a stay

The room was small hard to get the desk chair out without hitting the bed, the extractor fan didn’t work in bathroom - no parking had to use public car park and walk to hotel, the evening meal was ok but nothing special the English breakfast was not great, beans cold, egg hard and mushrooms inedible - sorry

Stayed overnight on a dinner bed and breakfast rate. The hotel staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was nice but the bathroom was in need of an upgrade, that being said it was very clean. Inner was fantastic all meals are homemade to a very high standard not a frozen item to be seen. Breakfast again was a good. Very central to the centre of Lancaster. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.
