Food with a view
Get a room with the seaview, worth the extra.
Room not the biggest and some fittings are dated and have seen better days, but perfectly adequate.
Food excellent and service very good.
Nice when the fire is blazing.

Superb eats and an amazing view of Morcambe Bay.
The only reason I would not stay here for a prolonged period is that the food is so good, I would pile on the weight.

A very warm and welcoming place to stay with lovely staff and great service. The food was spectacularly good - every part of our 3 course dinner (4 people) was stunning, and my husband and I agreed we’d had the best ‘full English’ we’d ever had anywhere (and we travel a lot) - everything on the table was home made including the marmalade and lemon curd. Our doggy friendly room was small but sweet with a stunning view and there were piles of towels in the spotlessly clean bathroom. The only let down was the bed with it’s dreadful mattress and we both slept badly - my husband constantly felt like he was falling out of bed! Such a shame as everything else was great!

Dissapointed
I was very disappointed by this hotel it looks great on the websites it is on but once you see it for yourself it doesn’t come up to scratch.
Yes it is set in a lovely location but the hotel itself is rather run down and would benefit from a full refurb the room o was on certaonly did not look as good as any on the website. It smelt rather musty and the curtains had spots of black damp over them. It was also rather worrying that the patio window had its lock installed upside dune and had a “knack” to opening it.
I had my evening meal in the hotel but cannot day I was very impressed with it so much so that I ate elsewhere the following night.
Breakfast was average the milk for my cerial was warm and the cornflakes appeared to be a cheap alternative and the bread the toast was made from was not nice. The marmalade, lemon curd etc was in a glass type pot that was obviously left out on the table for several uses not very hygienic.
One thing I didn’t appreciate was always being asked when I would be having breakfast also the night I did dine out I was phoned at 9 am and asked when I would be coming back this was supposedly because I left my do not disturb sign on my door because I did not want the staff coming in and turning my bed down again.
I think I now understand why the hotel take a deposit and had I not paid this I would have most likely gone elsewhere.

Location Location Location, but thats all.
A tired property in need of refurbishment. Good room with excellent view but marred by too heavy a quilt on the bed and no openable window that could be left open at night, just french doors. Excellent breakfast but Restaurant was very expensive. £19.95 for Fish and Chips??? Would I recommend? probably not. £120 a night is too much for this Hotel in its present condition. (I believe it is up for sale)

Not worth the money
For the price we paid the room, Lapwing, was very small.The fact that the only view through a hole in the net curtain was a hedge 2 foot away from the window. The food was good but very over priced. The restaurants floor hadn't been cleaned an it was stained.The roof was corrigated plastic and again very dirty.

Relaxing stay
I would recommend this to couples who want pure peace and quiet. We had a balcony room which over looked the beach/sea. The tide comes in at a certain time at night and although by no means the best beach ever it helps you relax. If you walk 1.5 mile down the canal you reach a decent centre with shops and decent dog friendly pubs/bars. Very nice breakfast also.
