I have visited this establishment on numerous occassions over the recent weeks and have been extremely impressed with both the venue and the staff. I have read some recent reviews and they seem a bit wide of the mark!!! With regards one of the recent reviews I can completely contradict the writer....as I was sat very near to them and... More

We stayed here for one night.The rooms are absolutely fantastic and more than worth the £75 we paid for bed & breakfast. The bathroom is really nice especially the shower. The weather was scorching during our stay, the surrounding areas and the location of the pub were perfect. The staff were really busy as the pub was packed but they... More

I absolutely love the food here, I've been going for years and even after the place keeps swapping hands the food is still fresh and tasty.

Good, private, motel-type rooms and an excellent restaurant serving good food next door.

The room was a good size with a massive bed and lovely bathroom. The rooms look as though they are newly decorated with new furnishings. The... More

We have just returned from spending a night here. Loved the little rooms which are separate from the pub/restaurant so no noise here. The room was clean and modern but I loved the bathroom. A separate bath and rainforest shower which I did not want to leave. I have no complaints about staying here and would love to return in... More

Try the starter platers! They're really nice. Service is always of a high standard. Food is always great. There's a nice coffee shop bit you can have a warm drink before going into the restaurant and having a meal.

my wife and i called in at the boatyard on our way back home from garstang and sat in the coffee lounge where we ordered a light lunch of soup and sandwich ,scone and coffee.one word of warning-only order one soup and sandwich between two people because the portions are very generous and it must be said that the quality...
