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.

Nice stay in a basic budget room

The lodge bar and restaurant was closed during my stay and I collected my room key by calling a number then opening a lock box. This was fine and no trouble. The room was basic but clean and tidy with everything I needed, tea, coffee, kettle, milk, soap etc. I was on my own for a one night stay and the location was great with plenty of parking. I travelled by motorcycle so it was to find plenty of things to chain it to. Even with the bar closed there were plenty of places to eat and drink within a short walk and I found some cracking real ale and craft ale pubs with friendly locals.

Very good sized room - but definitely the building and surrounding area were very 'tired' looking. When we arrived to be absolutely honest we didn't think it was open. That all said, the location was excellent (we used it as a stop-over travelling down from Scotland to The Midlands) and the staff we spoke to remotely were very friendly and helpful. Although The County Lodge Brasserie wasn't open when we stayed, the Station Hotel (few minutes walk away) was a decent place to eat. Overall, the location was decent value for money (but would be good to see weeds from guttering removed and broken windows repaired, then I think overall it would look far more appealing)

Overnight Stay.

Clean and a comfortable room. Access to the shower is to climb into the bath. Not a brilliant stay as chef went home I’ll but in with this they shut the hotel bar. Why?? We didn’t get an answer. Convenience for food then an issue.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room in a separate block was ok..but strangely you had to walk right ariund the main building to get to it...and in reverse for breakfast..ok today but in the winter? The wall holder for the hairdryer was loose and therefore unsafe..continental breakfsst was very meagre and items had to be chased up with the waitress who came in and out. Location is good and parking convenient and the room was clean though smekt musty as if not used for a while At the end of the day you get what you pay for and for what I paid I suppose it was just ok

You get less for your money

Check is is self service key in a key lock which was fine. Lodge had broken/boarded up windows in corridor which wasn’t very welcoming. Room was clean but Curtain hanging off Tie backs for curtains gone showing paint and screw holes so not finished decor Aerial on TV didn’t work. And very noisy early in the morning. Pub itself we never saw it open ( I know it doesn’t say it’s a pub but that’s not clear from some of the pictures shown on site).

One to miss

Took nearly 30mins to book in. Keys missing to room. Had to get the housekeeping key. Bathroom light and one wall light not working. Bathroom extractor ran continuously even when light off. Bed sloped from foot to headboard like sleeping with feet up. Very poor mattress. Cleanliness overall poor. Seating in restaurant very badly stained to the point did not want to sit on it so missed breakfast. Carpets and radiators in bedroom very dirty.

The Decline of the County

We have stayed at the County several times over the years the main reason being the superior car park and its central location. Unfortunately this hotel has suffered through changes of ownership and a lack of investment plus staffing problems to lose its status as Carnforths premier hotel. The hotel is mainly clean and tidy with a modern bar and dining room but the bedrooms are dated with the bath rooms still sporting the original coloured bathroom suites from the mid 90s and old showers which could only be described as a drizzle. The staff who were very friendly and helpfull all seemed to have been drafted in at the last minute to cover staff shortages. We were informed that due to a lack of a chef there would only be a continental breakfast a great disappointment.I was involved in the construction of the accommodation block in the mid 90s so i feel qualified to comment how this once great hotel has lost its way.

The communication was really poor. I only got an answer from the hotel on the day of arrival. The emails were polite but the in-person customer service was not good or welcoming. The lockbox is faulty and difficult to open, unless you rive it open at the bottom. There is a knack to it. You won’t be able to open it if you have arthritis or hand issues. The general building is dingy. And rundown. One of the windows in the corridor had a wooden panel in. The room we stayed in was one of the better ones, I imagine, but the mattress was extremely soft and old. Do not sleep here if you have a bad back or shoulders. The main room was clean. The sugars for hot drinks were from McDonalds! The bathroom was not cleaned properly. There were bits of dirt and scum on the floor and bath panels. And around fittings and fixtures. The water was hot and plentiful. Toilet rolls and toiletries were included. No towels were provided. We had to ask for them the next day. It is more of a hostel than a hotel. No breakfasts were provided when we stayed. It’s worth no more than £40 per night. I would never stay here again. It wasn’t a good overall experience.

Ok for two nights

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.

Not a place to 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.
