Right alongside the River Lune in central Lancaster, this traditional pub serves real ales and hearty full English breakfast. The shops of the city centre are just a 5-minute stroll along the river, and a picturesque cycling route passes by the building.

Familial ambiance. Polite and friendly staff:) Good comfortable beds.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location near to town, lovely walks along the canal path and bus to uni right across the road for my son who went to an open day. Also like possibility of bringing the dog on any future visit. Lavazza coffee machine - they’re the best!

    What an amazing place to stay! A spacious room with a huge, comfy bed and a big bathroom with a huge bathtub and shower. Great location in the centre of Lancaster city and plenty of cheap parking places available just round the corner. There is also a nice pub downstairs for food and drinks. Great value for money! Would stay again if back in Lancaster!
