The Engine Inn

Informed on arrival that food no longer served in the evening despite the signs out side saying the opposite. Picture on website is very old and frontage certainly doesn’t look like that now. Room was tired and not especially clean. Disappointing on nearly all levels. Staff were friendly though .

The staff were very nice and friendly but the room was terrible. I’m not normally fussy but here are just some of the things I didn’t like: poor quality mattress, collapsed bed base, hairs and stains in the bedding, a thick layer of dust on many surfaces, toilet seat not attached to the bowl. I hate to leave a bad review but the 8.0 rating on this website and four stars are very misleading.

Lovely old pub in a little village, no car park as such, staff were lovely and helpful but room was dusty on skirts and tables and the complimentary biscuits were out of date, two of them were October 2024, the small long Life milks had expired early October as well. We couldn’t get Wi-Fi in the room despite the instructions being in a welcome book and we couldn’t get the tv on anything. Beds were nice and clean and the family room was very spacious with a lovely view. Could easily accomodate four people. Convenient stay over for the Holker Hall Winter Market.

Lovely place to stay. Staff we met Mike and Jonathan were friendly pleasant and helpful.

Cold, freezing room, radiator not working, empty bottles by the shower… was too tired to complain so left early.
