The room had not been cleaned properly when we arrived
The staff were very helpful and re-cleaned and set the room
Beautiful place, a little remote if you do not have a car to explore Wyre further.

I liked the location for us as we were meeting up with family. It was clean. comfortable and the staff were friendly. The breakfast was delicious and plenty of choice. For the price it was excellent.
However, I wouldn't say it was 'Deluxe' - the room was basic, the large armchair was a sofa bed so not particularly comfortable, it just didn't feel deluxe at all. It was standard and they should just advertise it as is. Dissapointed with that part but everything else was excellent.
Just a 2 night stay. Small room with a small bath room. Plenty drawers and hangers enough plug sockets but no usb outlets.
Breakfast is ok no more.
Restaurant food is very very good and not silly prices.
Overall we loved our stay small room but short of nothing with good but small shower.
We will stay again but the restaurant is worth a visit

A gorgeous hotel! Staff very welcoming and helpful lovely meal in the restaurant! Good parking facilities and very clean! Lovely view of the river from our room.
Business stay for 1 night. Evening meal was great as was the huge breakfast. Unfortunately the wifi was extremely poor, which for a business trip is not good, room was not very clean and only handwash in the bathroom
Fantastic place to stay, great breakfast. My only issue was that the bed in room 19 is very hard.
Room spotless and everything else about the stay 1st class.

one night business trip. Bed extremely uncomfortable and have shared this with hotel. Was very expensive for a one night stay at this hotel but have been told that i booked for 2 people instead of one which made the cost higher
