"Used for 14 guests, rooms and showers very clean, kitchen not the cleanest but was ok, some of the cookware in need of replacement, tho the spacing of the 3 cookers bemused me, (I did over 3 miles in the kitchen alone on the Saturday). The pool table was a bit of a disappointment, cues with no tips and very dirty cloth, maybe worth getting new cloth and then charging for damage, as easy to spot. Luckily weather was great so we sat outside, but would have been nice to have a tournament. Overall...

"When I arrived there was a complete muddle with my booking. My room had been assigned to someone else!! They said I was not listed as a guest and had I actually booked at another hotel. It turned out that my name was on the list but had been crossed off, when, what should have been my room was assigned to someone called Ross. I was kept standing around in reception while this mess was sorted out. I had just driven up from Liverpool and I was not impressed by any of this. Apart from this initial foul up the hotel was a very pleasant place to stay and I had a lovely breakfast on the Saturday morning before I left. This hotel is really convenient for access to Carnforth Station from which I travelled on an excursion to Whitby."
