Lancaster House Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We very much enjoyed our one night's stay. We had brought our dog, and were allocated a dog-friendly room which was clean, well-appointed, with a comfortable bed and the decor was fresh. The dog treats, bedding and bowl were a nice touch. There are additional parking charges (none if booked directly with the hotel) and £30 charge per night for the dog - a bit steep but the all-in cost was similar to other hotels for this period. Breakfast is very good with a wide choice of options and there is a special area for those with dogs with good access to the buffet."

8/10 Good
"The room was clean, but in need of some TLC. The lights did work, when the receptionist was told she came fiddled with the light bulbs, eventually they came back on. Once turned off they would not come back on. Very much felt that was an issue the hotel knew about, but had not fixed. The staff at breakfast were not welcoming. When the breakfast came the bacon and black pudding were not fully cooked. The sausage was poor quality and very peppery. Rather disappointing. Will not be staying again."
