    I had a single bed room, which was expensive for what it was - quite small and basic, though a nice view of the river.

    Location is fine - nice view of the River Wyre, but near to the noisy road bridge, which unfortunately detracts from the serenity of the setting.. Staff were all friendly and breakfast good. All fine for a one night stay.

    It’s on the estuary so at low tide the area smells a bit, and the cows next door didn’t help matters! But we are from London,so quite sensitive to country smells!

    The rooms were clean and quiet even though they are above the pub. The food in the pub was really excellent and they went out of their way to make something suitable for my daughter. The breakfast was also very good.

    We were on the second floor so there were a lot of steps to reach our room. This was no problem as the staff kindly brought up our bags, but may be an issue for some people.

    The staff are always welcoming and friendly. We had a room with a river view. The outside area was a relaxing place to sit and read with a drink. The breakfast is very tasty and made to order.

    Bed! Too small, the room could have taken a king size bed easily. It was very lumpy and uncomfortable. We were part of a bigger group, our friends said their beds were comfy (apart from the sofa bed which had broken straps) so we must just have been unlucky. Towels, too small. Would have liked a bath sheet. As I find in a lot of hotel rooms dressing table didn't have a mirror over it. They had provided a very small dressing table mirror which was better than nothing. We were happy with our overall stay

    Lovely location, great view from our bedroom. Good size room. Breakfast was good. The staff were very friendly. All in all had a good stay

    Superb hotel let down by noise and needing updating shower and mattress.

    The room was the let down. All rooms are all upstairs, might be a problem for some (steep stairs.) Reasonable sized room, views over the river. Mattress was old and very firm and uncomfortable. Shower worked okay, but old and worn fittings which refused to tighten up so it flopped about. The shower drain was also partially blocked so the tray gradually filled up. Quite a bit of noise from guests going to bed for several hours didn’t help the poor sleep we got.

    Breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice, prepared quickly and hot. The bar and public areas were quality and the view was probably one of the best on the Fylde Coast.
