Catterall Hotels

"Varied choice for breakfast, although hot food was cheap, overcooked and cold on the servery. Rooms were dated and unclean, sleeping on a park bench would have been more comfortable than the bed provided! We arrived late (after 10pm) had to pay for 24 hour parking permit, not listed as a requirment and when asked if we could stay past the 10am check out was told could be arranged at £15 per hour for up to 2 hours! Ammenities such as the pool, sauna, etc were actually closed, (opening hours are between 9am -3pm!) Hotel is in dire need of some maintenance, a lick of paint would do wonders! The old woman on reception was rude and arrogant especially when asking about staying later, but when I pointed out the data breach, giving me a door card in a stapled envelope showing details of a previous guest (name, telephone no, address, email, etc) she wasnt bothered! Shall not be back, ever. My advice, find a better hotel or guest house, nothing grand about this hotel"

"Breakfast was lovely however, we were in the Elizabeth Suite which was urgently in need of updating and a good clean. The bed was horrendous, like sleeping on a brick. It would have been nice to have a coffee machine in the bar area for when the bar was closed in the mornings. Be warned, parking in horrendous when its busy. Had to park my vehicle well away from the hotel due to lack of spaces."

"Good transport links or close for walking to town. Slightly out of the busy part really nice hotel"

"Room was spotlessly clean and of an excellent size, staff very friendly and helpful ,would definitely book the RUSKIN HOTEL for future trips."

"Well worth the money, lovely breakfast lovely view of the beach"

"We were given a room in the courtyard area no43, It was small for 2 people It smelled musty and damp The wallpaper on the outside wall was blistered.One end of the radiator, the thermostat end, was tied to the wall with a plastic tie wrap.The window was to high to reach to open There is no lift in the main part of the house or the Courtyard rooms.No43 is on the ground floor"

"Staff very nice and helpful, room nice, beds really comfy, and crisp linen. Basic shower room needs upgrade but worked ok. Downside, the room was next to the back of restaurant so staff smoked under our room window all hours, and where coughing loud so not nice. Also was freezing, waited for heating to come on in the evening and morn but didnt, left early morn as to cold and smell of smoke was off putting."

"Lovely location Beautiful apartment, clean and nicely presented. Lots of parking"
