Guest Reviews of St Winifreds Hotel

"Very good"

Attentive staff and an excellent evening meal

Bedside lights were not functioning

"Breakfast was nice,views over the bay from bedroom are lovely.We all enjoyed our stay."

The owner was a very friendly man who made us feel very welcome

The hotel needs updating

"No comments as I did not stay in the hotel."

None that I could see

I checked in surrounded by an overwhelming smell of stale curry powder - the whole aspect looked seedy and unclean - I did not return and made other arrangements for my overnight stay - the hotel looked clean and bright on the website but the opposite was the case in reality.

Too many too summarise

"Please note, I was the guest staying NOT the above mentioned. Doug Graham"

No menu choice for evning meals, could do with decoration and there was a frayed carpet on the staircase which needs addressing

Great views of the beach, fantastic food and hospitality!! I would recommend having an Indian home made dinner. Very delicious, great price and a lot of food! The hotel is in a good location since you can go on a day trip to Lake District.

The rooms are a little old but not bad for the price.

"Adequate for a short break."

Friendly staff, pleasent lounge.

Choice for cooked breakfast very limited. Hotel decor a little tired and dated - could do with a makeover.

"All been said really.Excellent value for money,comfortable,clean and welcoming.No complaints although next time I might bring a screwdriver!"

Nice little hotel.Friendly and courteous staff who appear to be the owners too.We did'nt have breakfast or dinner so cant'comment on that.Most things we needed were there and if they were'nt they were provided on request-i.e.hairdryer,extra coffee,fresh towels,lightbulb.Cleanliness was good.

These are not bad points and I appreciate this was not a full service hotel.However I did feel that the used towels could have been replaced when the room was made up,also tea/coffee/milk,etc.Fixtures and fittings need attending to.Hooks behind doors need replacing,a bathroom shelf would have been useful and just a little attention with a screwdriver for the odd things that have come loose,i.e.the bathroom towel rail.Double glazing would also be a good idea as the room was quite noisy being on the busy seafront.We were in room No.3 by the way.We are both airline crew so we stay in a lot of hotels and some of the points I've raised can be found in the best of them so St.Winnifreds is'nt doing too badly.

"The hotel was very quiet but the welcome and the warmth were exceelent"

Room was warm and comfortable. Very welcoming Excellent breakfast Easy parking Good view

"room was at best adequate, hotel gave a general could not care type attitude."

Position and views.

Tired looking rooms, in need of redecorating.

Cooking odour throughout the hotel.

"Served our requirements. Weather could have been better!"

Hotel alright but position regarding restaurants etc. not so good; fair way from main town.

"Not worth "

There were none!

Hotel was very outdated and old fashioned. Had a very strong curry smell on the ground floor. Sign outside hotel states there's a cocktail bar! There was no draught lager. No fridges. We were offered warm cans of stella brought up from the celler. My cousin ordered a malibu and lemonade which was served in a pint pot! A third of which was Malibu and the rest was flat lemonade that looked like it had been sat on the side for years! Hotel room was very basic and old fashioned. Bedroom window did not shut properly so wind was howling through all night. Not enough towels for 2 people. 1 bath towel and 1 and towel for 2 people!

"A very poor quality hotel 30 years out of any prime it may have had"

In desperate need of refirb, vaccuum cleaning,........knocking down?

"Very disappointing"

Clean

Poor service at breakfast. Generally shabby decorations light fittings and carpets etc. No food served after 6pm

"Good"

Friendly, clean and good breakfast

"If we hadn't already had a long journey we would have packed up and gone elsewhere. The room was shabby and unclean. "

Windowsills dirty Linen on 1 bed stained. Walls badly in need of re painting. Dents in the bathroom door.

"OK"

Staff very friendly

Really dated, needed decorating.

"Quite an adequate hotel, though rooms are a little small."

On street parking, access to beach.

Rooms and public areas could do with a bit of decoration. Lift has no internal door so young children need to be supervised to prevent accidents.

"Atrocious hotel,ruined our weekend."

The hotel is a run down, 70,s style decor bed and breakast hotel.We booked three rooms,all of which had damp stains on the floor and ceilings.My daughters room had not been cleaned,with beer cans and dirty tissues in the room.All the shower curtains were covered in mildew.The stairwells were no better,with wallpaper hanging off the walls,paint peeling and damp patches everywhere.My daughters sink tap came off spraying water everywhere,She complained and got moved to a new room which had a new bathroom suite,flat screen tv,repainted walls and new windows!!!When asked why we could not have this room when we booked in,we were told we it was a new one and not available at the time of booking!To cap off the weekend,through the night we were not able to get any sleep as groups of men were partying and playing music,trying door handles and generally being a nuisance,We complained to the manager who basically did nothing much but knock on doors.We did not stay for breakfast and will not stay in one of these hotels again!!!This cost me

"As an overnight stay in Morecambe it was good value."

Friendly and welcoming staff, clean, plenty of towels and hot water, really nice breakfast, good position near, but not at, the crowded parts of the front.

No shelf in bathroom to put anything, shower falling off wall so tricky to shower, no bedside lights, bit mean with the teabags in the room -only got two! All these points could be put right in minutes!!

"O/K no problems"

View from bedroom window.Free parking in front of hotel on prom.

"We were ok stopping one night as location suited us, however if we had booked for longer we would have looked for alternative accommodation"

Very welcoming, friendly. Rooms clean Breakfast good

Decor in rooms and stairways poor, generally felt shabby

"fine, no problems"

Very helpful staff nice lounge area excellent breakfast comfortable bed

room door sticking - just need a plane.

"I would stay there again and would recommend it. It was very clean and tidy with lots of room to sit if one did not want to go out."

All the staff were extremely friendly and very welcoming. I felt very comfortable there being on my own with a young child.

At breakfast I needed to keep asking for various items that shoud have come automatically IE milk with the tea, butter for the toast etc. But having said that, they were very busy.

Windows were left open when the room was cleaned, it was raining, therefore the water came in windows soaking carpet and making the whole bedroom damp. Toilet seat split. No sugar, milk or coffee. Had to sleep on towel, on top of the bed as it was too damp to sleep in the bed.

"We enjoyed our stay"

Everything was fine,the meals were just right, not too big and not too small. The staff were very helpfully.

Smelt abit musty, could have done with a bit more airing of the downstairsrooms, but our bedroom was well aired

"old but clean, needs a bit of an overhaul, no restraunt, staff very good though."

friendly attentive staff. excellent breakfast

Reasonable price overnight stop. Earthquake in the night entertaining. Friendly greeting.

"Water was a little cold in shower but might have been my regulating"

Location, Friendly owners a period hotel very obliging i hasd booked 2 nights but cancelled 2nd there was no fuss

"An excellent hotel, with tasteful and relaxing decor. The proprieters were very friendly and welcoming and couldn't do enough for their staying guests. A delicious and hearty cooked breakfast in the morning. I look forward to my next stay at St. Winifreds."

A lovely spacious and quaintly decorated room, with a superb view of Morcambe bay.

I have nothing negative to say.

"Hotel needs updating."

Breakfast good.

Bath too short. Television too small.

"the whole inside appearance of the hotel was quite dirty,room was not made up for us next day, nor clean towels,had to ask for them or a general check of the room, like bin needed empyting, also set meals, was not given a choice of meals, roast beef and that was it, pork chops next day, we ate out as we are veggie's.......... def would not go back"

through active hotel web site

had to ask for clean towels/room not check next day for towels and general tidy

"I was not expecting a Marriot hotel,however i thought that it was overpriced also breakfast was,nt up to much."

The sea view

Very dated,t.v. did not work properly,bathroom and shower poor.

"For a one night stay it was more than adequate and provides a superb sea view if there is not mist...which there was."

The whole establishment is comfortable and welcoming.

The decor is overdue a refurbishment

"Very pleased by the welcome we recieved, this has to one of the cleanest hotels we have stayed at. The sitting room very comfortable all furnishings good, bed room very comfotable. The view from our window over the bay was spectacular"

comfortable the cleanest hotel we have ever stayed beds etc great very nice sitting room and cocktail bar. Staff very welcoming and pleasant

only niggle was at times the room was too hot, opening the window solved this.

"I found the hotel reminded me of past glories and country house hotels.Although this might not suit everyone I found it pleasant compared to the modern hotels.The service was attentive and the clenliness excellent."

Although dated the rooms were clean and the beds were comforable.The choice for breakfast was good as was the food,the dining room and overall surroundings were old fashioned but pleasant.
