Reviews

Karen 8/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Lovely old pub with comfy beds and good food and beer

Pros: The room was lovely with oak beam above bed. The bed was very comfortable and it was nice to have a bath as well as a shower. The food was really nice and the local beer was good too. Good position near Lancaster.

Cons: The window was difficult to open and there was nowhere to plug phones near to the bed. We managed to plug them in elsewhere but where we put them was quite crowded with other things.

Lovely pub, comfy rooms, excellent food & lovely staff.

Pros: This is the third time we have stayed at the Fleece. Great rooms - very comfy. Great breakfast. Plenty of choice from cereals, fruit, pastries (continental breakfast) to full English breakfast or selection of egg dishes etc. Food available for dinner & lunch in the bar area - good selection of locally sourced dishes - fish & chips were excellent as was the steak & mushroom pie. Generous portions! We stayed here to attend a friend's birthday lunch - excellent service, beautiful roast dinner on the Sunday. Helpful & cheery staff. Many thanks as always.

Cons: Some noise from the bar/restaurant up to our room (our room was above the front of the pub) but this was within daytime hours & no noise later on when we retired to our room.

Pros: The room, facilities, drinks and the service was fantastic.
