Harden's says
Re-opened in 2008, this spectacular Art Deco hotel boasts equally impressive views of Morecambe Bay from its restaurant.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“The glamour of the building competes with the beauty of the outlook” at this “superb Art Deco hotel with the most beautiful views across Morecambe Bay, which makes this a fabulous location for dinner”. “Better still, the food is very good!” – Lancastrian sourced, and in an unfancy, modern British style. There’s also a “quintessential afternoon tea, with perfect sandwiches, scones and cakes”, while “it’s worth staying over for the breakfast – and the view of the birdlife on the shore”.

Summary
The “stunning view across Morecambe Bay” certainly adds to the magic of this “real gem” of an art deco hotel – “well worth a detour from the motorway” (the A863). Unusually, the food actually lives up to the backdrop, and it remains particularly reputed for its “superb, well balanced afternoon tea”.
Summary
“It would be difficult to think of a better backdrop to a meal” than the “amazing views across Morecambe Bay to the Lake District” at this “iconic” and “very stylish” art deco hotel. Perhaps surprisingly, the food itself is also “lovely” and “not overpriced” – with the “quintessential English afternoon tea” a continuing highlight.
For 30 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
