Gaskell Arms

A great night's stay and...

Liked: The room was very spacious, clean and the bed very comfortable. The pub is very charming, tastefully decorated with a lovely, big garden. The staff extremely friendly and helpful.

Wow factor

Liked: Absolutely loved the room ,we were in mews 1 and it was beautiful definitely had the wow factor.
Disliked: No blind in the bedroom window so in the summer evenings everyone in the beer garden can see you trying to get changed plus it allows the early morning daylight straight into the room which gave us an unusual early 4.30 am wake up call also meaning we couldn't go back to sleep after.

Friendly, comfortable and ideal place...

Liked: Room was lovely, bed comfortable. Plenty of storage space. Nice and quiet at night. We needed oat milk for our tea in the morning and staff were very fast to provide this for us. There was always a parking space in the car park and although the front door opened onto the car park traffic was not an issue at all. Breakfast was lovely. You can either have continental which is included or if you want a little more than either something on toast or a full fry up which you pay for accordingly.
Disliked: Check the light bulbs please! One of the ones above the bed and one above the shower does not work and needs replacing. My partner did not want me to bother or I would’ve told you. it would have been nice if one of the windows downstairs could have been been opened to create a through draft. It was extremely hot inside Sometimes so I appreciate there was a fan supplied. (This would have just circulated the hot air inside) to compensate for no open window, we left the front door open while we were downstairs. At night the green electric emergency fire sign is right opposite Art in the bed and lights up the room like Piccadilly Circus. Far too bright, we were not told if we could have turned it off and I doubt it. Get the manager to sleep in there so they can appreciate how bright it is!

Lovely stay at the Gaskell...

Liked: Lovely modern room, comfy bed, the staff were great and the breakfast was delicious.

Awful place and dishonest people.

Liked: The hotel was closed for renovation and we had to find somewhere else to stay. I have sent numerous emails and tried to call but only jusy had a response from booking.com 3 weeks later. Nothing from the hotel even though there were 2 members of staff at the hotel who knew nothing and did not help.
Disliked: The hotel was closed and we were not told.
