Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and well-equipped rooms with crisp white linen, but the service during breakfast could use improvement. The location is perfect for both countryside and city access, and the dining experience is of high quality with Lancashire helpings. But the store cupboard and wedding services need attention.
The hotel offers a mixed experience, with comfortable rooms but potential issues with cold temperatures initially and inconsistent wifi. The service, while friendly, could benefit from more professional training. The location is great for travelers but may be affected by early morning noise. The dining quality varies, with breakfast being the highlight. Overall, a stay with some ups and downs.
The hotel offers a mix of experiences with some positive aspects like exceptional service and a convenient location, but drawbacks such as noisy surroundings and subpar dining options. Despite these, the overall stay was decent.
