Good Hotel Guide Review
Watch the tide race in from Robert Lyons and Lesley Wheeler’s traditional pub-with-rooms overlooking the Levens estuary – it’s a thrilling sight that harks centuries back to the days when the inn was a stopover for coaches and horses before they crossed the sands to Lancaster. An ‘amiable’ place, this is a community hub that draws back birdwatchers, cyclists, walkers, dog owners and fishermen year after year. Homely bedrooms are supplied with board games, books and magazines; six rooms have an estuary-view balcony – all the better to watch the sunrise from. There are casual bar meals to be had, or candlelit dinners in the newly redecorated conservatory restaurant by the water’s edge; mornings, breakfast is praised.
