Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a fabulous location with exceptional views and good value for money. The service copes well with current restrictions and is attentive, with great food and comfortable beds. However, the location may be a bit out of the way with nothing nearby.
The hotel offers lovely views across the bay from rooms with balconies, but there were some unpleasant smells. The service was excellent, although housekeeping forgot to say goodbye after cleaning. The location is ideal for a short break with beautiful views but not the best smell in the rooms. The dining experience was good with delicious food but poor heating. Overall, a decent option for a stay, especially if you're looking for a beautiful view at a reasonable price.
The hotel offers a picturesque view overlooking the Leven estuary part of Morecambe Bay, making it worth the stay. The rooms may need some redecoration but having the beds turned down at night adds a nice touch. The service, particularly from Kitti, was extremely friendly and helpful, creating a cozy atmosphere. The location is a dream for photographers and artists, with a stunning view of the bay, although it may be a little off the beaten track. While the dining experience was a letdown, the hand-cut steaks were delicious. Overall, great value for money for a relaxing stay.
