Sixteen family members spent the night at Lancaster House to celebrate my Mother-in-Laws 70th birthday and we all had a wonderful time. I was able to arrive early to decorate the table for the evening meal and we could check-in as soon as we arrived from 1.30pm onwards. The food and service in the restaurant were of a very good...

I have just stayed at the hotel as part of a big wedding party. Everything was fine until the next morning when the shower ran cold. I was already suspicious because it had been set at maximum and given the very hot bathroom taps, I was worried the shower would also be burning hot. In retrospect it was probably because... More

I have stayed in this hotel a couple of times. The classic double rooms that I have had have been tired and in dire need of redecoration so much so that the last time I had to upgrade to a luxury suite which was very nice, save for the fact that the shower had a mind of its own as... More

Nicely located for the M6. Arrived later on but a warm welcome. We had to eat in the bar as the restaurant was closed (as from 2130) which wasn't a major issue but a little dissappointing as reception had asked if we could be fitted in as we arrived, the answer had been yes, as long as we were there...

We held our wedding at this hotel back in 2005 and we go back now and again for a meal (we last went on our 7th wedding anniversary in March 2012). We've stayed here many, many times over the years and it always retains very special memories for us. We actually stopped staying over again because we had a bad... More

I stayed with my wife visiting the local area, we were both impressed by the hotel, and it was both warm and welcoming. The food and bar facilities were of a high standard and reasonably priced. My only criticism is that this hotel does not offer a Forces Discount which is rather disappointing.

We have family in Lancaster area and so regularly stay at Lancaster House for relaxing week-end breaks. This May Day weekend was another enjoyable stay. The luxury studios are so comfortable. A massive bed, large bathroom and a lounge area. If the shower was double size to match the oversize bath it would be perfect. Reception staff are always friendly... More

Decent rooms. Nice bar. Good breakfast although a little crowded as a result of a wedding party which resulted in lengthy delays in food being replenished.

We stayed at this hotel so that we could watch our son compete in the annual York & Lancaster Universities sports event, Roses 2012, and were pleasently surprised. It forms a part of the University of Lancaster campus and as such can be a bit off putting, however the room was very good, well appointed, clean and spacious. The hotel... More
