Find the Cheap Lower Holker Hotels

My mate & I loved the B&B here - friendly owner who’s an ex-cyclist herself and adept at looking after Bay Cycle Way customers, comfortable rooms and a particularly good range of breakfast options. And she gave us a comprehensive rundown on all the restaurant and pub options for an evening meal too. It’s easy to see why this is an enduring favourite. Look out for the extraordinarily colourful display in the front garden too. Highly recommended.

The hotel experience was quite poor. We checked in at around 4 o'clock that day. Even the front desk receptionist couldn't find the room we were given. After checking in, we found that the two double beds we booked were actually one double bed and two simple single beds. We went to the front desk to negotiate and were told that the rooms were full and there was a solution at the second level. At 10 o'clock in the evening, when we were ready to go to bed, we found that one of the simple beds had collapsed. When we turned over the sheets, we found that three wooden bars were missing. We went to the front desk to negotiate again. The night manager said that he was only the restaurant manager and could only add a mattress first and solve it the next day. As a result, the simple bed was only replaced with a wire bed the next day, which was not as good as the mattress the night before. The next night, we went to the bar on the first floor to consume with the 5-pound voucher for not cleaning the room. After ordering, we found that the bill price was different from the price we had just arrived. After checking, it was indeed a problem with the bar's price system, but when the bartender came back with the menu, he threw the menu next to us, and his expression when delivering the meal was also quite unhappy. Hypocritical British apology. This hotel is not worth the price at all.

Lets get my gripe out of the way first. When booking, I mad clear that the presence of a lift was important to me because of my age and lack of movement. It was confirmed that there was a lift. Imagine my distress when, on arrival, I found it to be not working and it was 26 steps to my room (not counting the 16 steps required to get into the hotel). 52 steps just to pop down for breakfast or the bar! To be fair, I was given a very generous discount in compensation on my final bill. The hotel is a beautiful building in a lovely setting. Great views over Morecambe bay from my bedroom and the dining rooms. My room was very comfortable, spotlessly clean. The old window-sills showed their age. The breakfast was excellent and I was quite touched when staff assisted me in getting food from the help-yourself buffet. The menu for dinner was imaginative; the food was excellent and well presented, but I felt that it was quite pricey and that a 15% reduction would have been nearer the mark. Staff: all were friendly and very helpful. The range of beers in teh bard was rather poor though bar staff were friendly, in keeping with the hotel staff generally.

Booked afternoon tea here was very nice. Finger sandwiches, hot scones with jam and clotted cream and various cakes. Hot onion rings, sausage rolls slices, breaded brie and mozzarella sticks with a nice sweet chilli was very nice. Served with 2 glasses of decent fizz and a pot of tea was great only downside was the various cakes on top plate didn't taste like they were cooked fresh. Ordered 2 kids meals aswell and couldn't fault them for the price homemade chicken goujons and decent portion too. Would highly recommend
