Positive Reviews
positive:
Prime seafront location
This traditional seaside hotel's location in the centre of Morecambe promenade and just over the road from the beach was a hit with most guests. It also conveniently put them a short walk from the town centre, promenade attractions, public transport links, shopping and dining options. Those wishing to explore the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District liked the way they were within driving distance of both national parks.
positive:
