Stayed a few times. We had a lovely room in the house next door see you next time we travel through.

A slight problem with the laundry meant that we had to wait until 7.30pm for our bed to be fully made up, however the room was lovely and the homemade shortbread added a nice touch. The bathroom was gorgeous with a big bath plus a walk-in shower.

Stayed in the townhouse rooms, very spacious and quiet, lovely bathroom. Couple of little niggles such as worn furniture but nothing to detract from stay. Very large comfortable bed. Breakfast was included which we hadn't realised so that was a bonus. Excellent location for Lancaster.

Second time staying on our way to Bristol. Met family eat in restaurant garden. I was a chef. We had 4 brilliant meals. Our room was in the town house. Lovely room downstairs with little courtyard.

The hotel is well located in the heart of the city, very close to the shopping centre and a ten minute walk from the railway station, but in a nice quiet area. The room I stayed in was spacious, comfortable, warm and clean. The breakfast (which was included in the room rate) was substantial and varied. The best I've had for a very long time. I would certainly stay at the Borough when visiting Lancaster again.

The Borough is a pub. Accommodation was reasonable. The size of the room was good. minor irritants such as the washhand basin not draining quickly or properly and the shower soap dispenser being poor. The breakfast was excellent and included (inclusion was not mentioned when I booked). Lancaster is a great place to visit.

We stayed in the Townhouse Luxury suite which is situated in a separate building from the main hotel and accessed from a quiet road to the side. The room was spacious and nicely decorated, bed was huge and very comfy. The pillows and linens were very nice too. Bathroom was also spacious and nicely decorated with a very large shower which was lovely, even if the water pressure wasn't great, the temperature was constant. A full length mirror in the room would have been nice, but otherwise was very happy with our stay.
