The Borough Lancaster

We stayed here for a couple of nights recently on our first visit to Lancaster and can’t recommend it highly enough. On afternoon arrival we were warmly welcomed in the bar area and had a couple of local beers. Lunch was in the beer garden area, service was quick despite being busy and our wraps and sandwiches were very tasty. Our room was in a separate annex of the hotel and was clean, spacious, comfortable and had its own small outdoor space which was perfect for our spaniel. After a walk round town we booked a table in the restaurant for our evening meal which was great value. I can recommend the tomahawk gammon steak- absolutely top class! Service was again excellent and a mention for Beth whose service in the bar and restaurant was first class, very friendly and ensured that we will definitely return.

The photos don't do this gorgeous place justice! Set on a quiet, historical square, it's got a feeling of comfortable decadence. I stayed one night and had breakfast. From arrival to leaving, staff went above and beyond to make me comfortable. The food is truly excellent and the room - room 5 - was utterly luxurious. A little tricky if you have mobility problems, stairs up to the room then stairs within the room to the bathroom, but the vintage gorgeousness makes up for it. Huge thanks to the staff for helping me with bags, tweaking my breakfast order perfectly and generally being like a home from home (but much posher!) I hope I need to come back again, this will be my first port of call.

My twin brother and I were exploring around this part of the city when we decided to drop by The Borough Pub,been here before on previous holidays to this fascinating city, always had a good time and so it proved on our latest visit to here. A great looking pub, interior is superb, multi roomed, dark wood features abound throughout this pub, a cool looking serving bar dominates the main room, pubby decor and furnishings and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub, its just a really good pub to unwind in. We had a study of their real ale's which I must say I was impressed with, in the end we both opted to have pale ale's from Hawkshead Brewery, these were served in excellent condition, we chilled out and planned out the day ahead while sipping our pale ale's. My pale ale was really good, a crisp, golden pale ale, hints of toffee, a delicious aroma and aftertaste with a smooth finish, a classic British pale ale served in a classic British pub. We both really enjoyed our pale ale's in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to The Borough Pub we had a great time. The Borough Pub is easy to locate on Dalton Square. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday, open from 11am. Well worth checking out if you're in the area or planning a trip to Lancaster.
