    Nice Hotel”

    Breakfast, Suite, Location

    We had a great stay in Lancaster at this hotel. We booked the suite which was very large and comfortable and for a special break, this room does the trick. Location is great with a lot of restaurants and pubs nearby to enjoy the evening followed by a lovely cooked breakfast in the morning.

    Leuk hotelletje met bar midden in Lancaster”

    In de Luxe kamers (groot) een groot comfortabel kingsize bed, bar en eten naast/onder het hotel en vriendelijk personeel

    We waren enkel op doorreis, maar dit is een leuk hotelletje in het centrum van Lancaster. Ze hebben onder het hotel een bar/restaurant en het eten is daar erg lekker. Het personeel is erg vriendelijk en alles was goed geregeld. Het enige wat iets minder was is dat je je auto niet bij het complex kon parkeren, deze moest in een safe-park iets verderop.
