The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The staff at breakfast time, were especially helpful as I have mobility issues. The breakfast was very enjoyable with lots of choice. The hotel is in an excellent location, close to the centre of Lancaster as well as on the lovely river side walk. We would definitely stay there again.

Hotel was convenient for us we booked on day but found out on arrival the lift was broken so we had to take our luggage upstairs and our room was right at the end of a long corridor plus we booked a double room to find that 2 single beds were pushed together and no zip to keep together luckily we didn’t end up between the beds hahahaha

Large Hotel situated in a great location with convenient access to all national park attractions. Ample car parking and public transport available within easy reach. Accommodation situated on the ground floor is somewhat tired although no complaints regarding cleanliness was offered. Good selection of food and beverages are provided. 2 good nights sleep was had.
