I had a great stay at a hotel in Barrow-in-Furness. The room was spacious and impeccably clean. The hotel facilities were convenient, as the bar and restaurant were connected to the hotel, making it easy to grab a meal or drink. The location was ideal, within a short walking distance to the railway station, and it was also close to Morecambe Bay and the southern Lake District. The staff were friendly and helpful, always willing to answer any questions I had.
Nothing to be said.
We had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location was superb, right in the centre of everything. We were able to easily explore the city, and there were plenty of bars, pubs, and shops nearby. Plus, the prices for drinks in all the pubs were very reasonable. The room was spacious and well-appointed, with a high ceiling and a lovely ensuite bathroom. We were also impressed by the cleanliness of the room and the hotel facilities. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially during check-in. We also enjoyed the adjacent restaurant, which provided excellent and affordable meals, including a great breakfast choice for under five pounds. Additionally, the hotel was within walking distance of the local railway station, making it convenient for us to visit local tourist spots like Walney Island, Furness Abbey, and even the Lakes. Lastly, we were lucky to have lovely warm and sunny weather throughout our stay.
Can't fault the property in any way.
