The County Lodge

I booked The County Hotel as a last-minute treat for my partner while we visited for his late brother’s birthday memorial. Sadly, the stay was hugely disappointing and we didn’t even end up staying the night. When we arrived, the room was in a shocking state. The bedsheet had a brown stain on it, which immediately made us question whether the bedding had been changed. Half the lights in the room didn’t work, making it feel dark and unwelcoming. The door to the bathroom even had a hole in it that looked like it had been punched, which made us feel uncomfortable. On top of that, the TV remote was broken, with the back missing so the batteries kept falling out — another sign that the room hadn’t been checked properly. The final straw came from the guests in the room next door. Smoke from their room came through into ours, and as I suffer from asthma, this quickly triggered irritation in my chest and breathing problems. In a hotel that should be smoke-free, this is completely unacceptable and left me with no choice but to leave. This was meant to be a comforting trip at a difficult time, but instead it added unnecessary stress and disappointment. Clean sheets, working lights, safe doors, and smoke-free rooms are the bare minimum any guest should expect — but The County Hotel failed on every count. We left without staying and will never return. Sadly, I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone.

Our room was clean but tired. The County hotel is not as it appears on the website. The hotel was closed, no dining , remote check in . Was Ok for our brief overnight stop but not longer.

No reception scrufy area below building steps not safe for elderly people

we didnt stay 1 hour in this hotel. Stinks of damp also horrible smell from carpet and bedding wouldnt adivse anyone to stay here

All good can’t complain and room was fab for what we paid Shame pub not open anymore but didn’t spoil our experience Great base !

Virtual check in to open a key safe on the front door of the adjacent building. Our room key wasn't in it. However, someone was in the annexe (where the rooms are) and met us at the door. Room was large, but quite dark as the only window was obscured by trees. There were cobwebs all over both at ceiling and floor level. Bathroom was very dated and the basin tap dripped loudly so we had to wrap a towel round it. There was damp on the ceiling of the bathroom and the sealing was mouldy. Grab rails were rusty. TV was too small for the size of the room and the remote was dirty and didn't work. The entire site had litter around it and the car park wasn't maintained. There was a boarded up window in the passage. On the plus side, the hot water was good as was the shower and the hotel (use the term losely) was centrally located. Ned was too soft for me, but my friend liked hers. Bedding and towels were clean. I would.have expected to pay under £50 pn for something of this standard. Wouldn't return and can't recommend.

It served the purpose for the night however it was a very uncomfortable stay there was a large Moth and Spider in the room to greet us. Quite dusty room and bed. And the overall area and building felt unsafe. Will not recommend this place or return for a stay. Only decent part of our stay was the kind lady Emily who remotely checked us in.

Property was closed.no food available no bar. No staff.cpompletely run down.wouldnt recommend to anyone

If you just need somewhere to sleep this place is ok.

No staff at hotel. Room tired. TV about 14” and other side of room. Damp and itchy place.

Issue a parking ticket for guest parking.

Really overpriced , most basic uncomfortable room ive ever stayed in

I was left on my own, worked out great, planned all my excursions to the lake district, ate when i wanted, slept in the day, if needed. Bike was safe in car park. En suite room. No complaints 5* cleaner was friendly, too!

Room was quite big which was great. Had all we needed. The condition was tired and bathroom is in need of an update. Wobbly tap, mildew surround, tiles coming off. Shower pressure was good. Two beds in the room, one mattress was fine, the other you could feel the springs. Dismantled it to add the spare quilt under the sheet for comfort and found stains on the mattress cover. There was a dirty towel left on the back of the door and a coffee cup lid behind the chair-more care needed when cleaning up. No toilet roll left. It was warm, adequate for our needs.

The room is clean and was adequate for the weekend stay

A bit shocked when we turned up. Not what a expert. Overgrown bushes around the place, locked up properly which looked closed down (which it was) phone number to call to get a key code to get the keys to the room, lady was really helpful, the rooms are not in the main building, they are separate to the back. Finally got into hall way, never good to see a window boarded up, got into the room, First impression where wow, how big is this room, never stayed in one so big. Thats where the good bits end. Wind noise from the window due to it being broken (no latch and catch), poor lighting, one not working in the bathroom, one broken in the main room. Next, some youths use the space under the building to smoke weed, stuck really bad. On are last night, someone in the next room had left the bathroom extractor when they left, sounded like a helicopter in our room, phone the number that where given for out off hours service, both went to answer phone, 5 days later still no reply. 3 nights away with only one nights sleep. Will not be going back. Carnforth itself isnt a bad place, the locals where friendly.

Spacious family suite for a very reasonable price. The bathroom and bedding was clean. A little dusty in places. Corridors need a good clean and there was a boarded window. Check-in worked well but couldn't get hold of anyone before arriving despite using all channels via booking site, direct telephone number, text etc. Was concerned it didn't actually exist but it worked well for us.

Clean and quiet area, ideal for an overnight stay.

After phoning twice their published number to get access codes for my stay they responded mid evening to my calls. As I was not sure I would get a response I had had to make alternate arrangements to ensure accomodations for the night. To rub salt in the wound I was sent two parking tickets for 60 pounds each when I parked in their lot to make the two phone calls. What a joke!!

Lots of bad reviews about this place, it is im a run down looking building And pub coffee shop were shut But lady on the phone was lovely The room was massive , nice bed and clean Very quiet location Its a little run down and needs a bigger tv But great location We enjoyed our stay
