Lovely room

A slight problem with the laundry meant that we had to wait until 7.30pm for our bed to be fully made up, however the room was lovely and the homemade shortbread added a nice touch. The bathroom was gorgeous with a big bath plus a walk-in shower.

Reasonable Pub Accommodation

The Borough is a pub. Accommodation was reasonable. The size of the room was good. minor irritants such as the washhand basin not draining quickly or properly and the shower soap dispenser being poor. The breakfast was excellent and included (inclusion was not mentioned when I booked). Lancaster is a great place to visit.

Nice hotel if your room isn't above a birthday do

The hotel is in a great location in the town and within a minute's stroll of the main street. The room was spotless, with a huge walk in shower. The beds were comfortable, however, they were very narrow, but that wasn't an issue. We'd had a long day and went up to our room to relax at 8 pm. Unfortunately there was a 30th birthday party in the room below us and, however much we tried to ignore the noise, it was impossible to even hear our television. Perhaps the hotel should take that into consideration when putting guests in rooms 8 or 9.
