Crofters Lodge

Visiting our son for 5 days and booked into the Crofters Lodge for the first time. Very nice room, clean, warm and great shower. We didn’t eat in the pub next door but we did stop in one evening for a drink. Very friendly staff. We will book here again for our next visit.

It was a quick overnight stop on the way north. It’s a strange location. Feels like it’s in the middle of a housing estate and trapped out of time. But it’s nice enough once you get in. The room available is t really what’s represented in web site images. Very very small. But clean and comfortable. The bathroom is a bit of a laugh. I felt sorry for the cleaning staff. The shower over the bath and bath shower screen makes it more or less impossible to not end up with a saturated bathroom. Don’t leave anything on the floor while you shower. Otherwise it’s fictional and at the special rate of £67 you can put up with it. The bar and restaurant are ok as well. The service was laboured but pleasant enough. At the price and for a quick stop I’d stay here again. For longer, get the bigger rooms. The ones they suck you in with on the web page searches. The location is poor but once again probably reflective of the price when it’s right.

Came here after visiting Ulverston and travelling further north. Pub is in the middle of housing estate, but it wasn't noisy from cars, etc. We arrived a little early and were able to check in. Luckily, we asked about a sandwich or something as we had 10 minutes to order. The opportunity to order lunch wasn't offered before we asked. We sat on a very torn leather sofa, which is weird when all the other furniture seemed new. Sandwich was ok, nothing special. The room was spacious. We were in a ground floor one, HMS Albion, it was clean (bathroom needs regrouting), and the bed was comfy. We had evening meal, chips were hard, i felt they were frozen oven chips, hubby had curry and he said it tasted like a sauce from a jar. Although restaurant on site, there was no breakfast available

When we booked for 1 night we where not told at the time off booking there food stopped at 7pm , when we did go to eat the food was awful , I had a roast my husband had a chicken dish , my cheese sauce on the cauliflower was a packet mix and tasted awful , my husbands chicken was dry we didn’t eat the meals , we had a few drinks and where disgusted the way the managers just sat there drinking shouting at the staff to get food when the bell rang when the staff were busy , but they still sat there drinking not helping , not the way to manage a pub/restaurant, this place could be a goldmine in the right hands, no breakfast options and nowhere to do food in the rooms, the bathroom was so dirty , no hairdryers, iron or ironing board , obviously not checked by the managers , it’s a shame as this was our 2nd time here and the first time food was nice , room was nice ,
