Accommodation
Pros:
"The rooms are a good size and have the usual amenities included, bath and shower, tea and coffee, iron and ironing board, hairdryer etc..."

"The room was spotlessly clean, spacious, warm and bed was comfy."
"Very comfy and spacious room in the new build beetham room."
"Beautiful spacious room, very clean and tidy, amazing views."
Cons:
"Room description is misleading. Triple rooms are actually behind the main building and the beds are dreadful."
"The walls were a little thin - we were kept up by a snorer from a nearby room."
"The bed was uncomfortable though."
"The room was tired, too hot and there we dried up tissues stuffed behind the bedside table."
"The room could do with a paint as ceiling paper falling off bedside clock not working."
"The room was superficially cleaned, but there were huge cobwebs at eye level behind the wall-mounted TV."
"Then was taken up 3 flights of stairs (despite telling them I am disabled) to a room that I can say without a doubt was tiny and cramped."

"Food fair but expensive for what it was."
"just had Sunday dinner, to be honest its the worst I have had £9.95 2 small potatoes a small Yorkshire pud, 3 pieces of carrot and frozen peas with corn 2 slices of beef chewy, 1 slice of ham, the gravy was tasteless it was a childs portion."
"The Lancashire hotpot had virtually no meat in it and was served with a pastry top!!"
"Enjoyed the area, and the pub itself was large. But we were a little disappointed in the food, only because my soup was too salty."
"The food was marketed as beef - not old boots!"

Cons:
"We ended up leaving at 7:30 am after the chef shouted at us for not pre ordering breakfast and refused to serve us."
"I find these people to be very arrogance, also have inflated opinions of themselves, if you want my advise don't waste your money or find a bed and breakfast that it would be being considerably kind to give these people a star, prices are to high and service with a smile is non existence, never bother awful people with no people skills."
"He was extremely sarcastic and acted as if we were bothering him, even though at the time we were the only people in the pub."
"I found tony the owner very arrogant person who doesn't like to be challenged by guests who complain."
"Patronised by someone who seemed like the owner (but shouldn’t be with his aggressive tone)."
"Tried to book a table for dinner but was told it was fully booked all week with residents. Only to see that it was empty at about 6.30 onwards...frustrating. staff on phone not helpful."
"When staff told him of my dissatisfaction didn’t even raise his head or remove himself from the chair to apologise!"
