Convenient location
The hotel is situated off the M55
motorway. It is close to the amenities of local Kirkham, which offers a great
selection of shops, bars and restaurants. Guests say the hotel is also is a
reasonably short drive from the delights of Blackpool, one of England's most
popular seaside towns. It might be important to have a car though, in order to
fully enjoy this wonderful location, feel guests

Negative Reviews
negative:
Disturbed by dogs barking
As this is a pet-friendly hotel, one can expect to see a number of dogs here at any given time. However, not everyone likes dogs and some of the guests have found it very difficult to bear the sound of dogs barking during the night, as it prevents them from relaxing and getting a good sleep.
negative:
Small bathroom
Some guests have complained that the bathroom is too small. While not everyone has had an issue with this, for some guests it clearly has been a cause for discontentment.
negative:
Deficient bathroom supplies
Some guests felt that toilet rolls should be available in the bathrooms rather than a tissue dispenser. Also, there is no brush available in the bathroom with which to clean the toilet, mention guests.
