Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The two-bedroom setup with a separate room for the kids was convenient, and the bed was comfy. However, the dining options could have been better, and the price seemed a bit high for what was offered.
This hotel is at the heart of town, making it super convenient with easy access to the Carnforth railway station. The rooms are spacious and come with cozy double beds, great breakfast, and incredibly comfy beds. The service is top-notch with attentive housekeeping and a warm welcome drink upon arrival. However, the dining could have been improved by offering freshly made coffee instead of instant sachets. The location is excellent, especially for train travelers, right by the station and close to the Lake District. The facilities are well-maintained, providing a pleasant stay overall.
The hotel is conveniently located within easy walking distance to Carnforth railway station, making it a great spot for travelers. The rooms are well-equipped with all the basics and feature really good bathrooms, offering a comfortable stay. However, the dining options could be improved for a more satisfying experience. The service is efficient and welcoming, adding to the overall positive stay. The location is a standout feature being right at the center of the town. The price is reasonable for the value offered.
