Independent Report
locationThe hotel is nestled right in the heart of the historical University City of Lancaster at the junction of Penny Street and Aldcliffe Road - overlooking the Lancaster canal. Only ten minutes by car from Morecambe and the beautiful Lancashire coast. It's where northern hospitality meets eclectic style.
roomsThere are 28 well appointed en suite air-conditioned rooms - they are are modern and stylish with wide-screen TV's and all the facilities one would expect in a superior 4 star hotel. There is also complimentary WiFi access too.
restaurantWith a fresh approach to relaxed dining, guests can enjoy a drink and lunch/dinner in the stylish bar - or al fresco in the lovely courtyard. There is a wide selection of traditionally brewed beers to tantalise your palate and all food is epxertly prepared in house using seasonal ingredients and locally sourced produce.
exteriorSet inside a magnificent hundred-year-old building, Penny Street Bridge was originally the Corporation Toll House, but it was demolished in 1901 and rebuilt as two separate pubs - the White Cross Hotel and the Corporation Arms.
These two pubs later became known as simply the Farmer's Arms, until Daniel Thwaites Brewery of Blackburn completely transformed it with a 2million GBP refurbishment in 2007.
lobbyThe lobby is small and cosy with limited seating. It is smart and modern.
generalThis fresh and friendly hotel offers a modern twist and good value on a grand old building perfectly located in the heart of Lancaster city. The accommodation is stylish and contemporary and the vast selection of traditional beers is a must for any beer connoisseur. Limited parking is available on site at 5 GBP per night - on a first come first served basis. (GW 11/2009)
