Glenthorn Private Hotel, Morecambe - Reviews & Ratings"Enjoyable stay and would certainly recommend to others." (108742258)
Staff were helpful and friendly. Good breakfast made to order. Good value despite lateness of booking.
Only bad points were noise from a nearby late night bar and the rundown state of other properties in the road.

Clean, modern. Although it edges onto a not so good area of Morecambe, we did not have any issues with the Hotel at all.

Glenthorn Private Hotel, Morecambe - Reviews & Ratings"This is the first time I have stayed in Morecambe for many years. We like to go there for day trips now and again as I went there for my holidays every year when I was growing up and it brings back many happy memories. Sadly Morecambe went down hill over the years and I stopped visiting as a result, but now there has been many improvements in recent years and although it will never be the same, it is once again a very nice place for a short break. The hotel is ideally just a few seconds walk from the sea front and all the attractions, it is well run and clean and I will certainly stay there again." (97638010)
Food was very good, the rooms were good too (especially the family room)ideal location for all the attractions. Couldn't fault the hotel at all.

from Preston , GB on January 27, 2008
Glenthorn Private Hotel, Morecambe - Reviews & Ratings"Very easy to find and is close to the 2 music venues The Platform and Dome i.e. 10 minutes walk. Parking could be a problem we managed to get the last one on the street (it was 5pm so may be easier earlier). The whole hotel is freshly decorated and clean. Our pre conceived ideas of Morecambe were of a depressed town, but not now, we were pleasantly surprised and will return to this friendly place." (97168529)
A pleasant well rennovated building. Bright and clean. Owners friendly and helpful.Good big full breakfast.Close to Dome ,Platform and sea.
No designated parking ,have to be lucky to get a space nearby.

from Waterlooville , GB on February 26, 2008
Glenthorn Private Hotel, Morecambe - Reviews & Ratings"There was no off-street car parking. Our stay was in February and we managed to park quite close to the hotel. I imagine that in the height of summer it might be very much more difficult. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and tidy, there were tea and coffee facilities. The breakfast was good and cooked freshly for us. The water pressure to the shower issue needs fixing as this could be a health and safety problem." (97642542)
It was clean and the room was quite big.
Beds were uncomfortable but I guess this is a personal issue. Water pressure to shower varied all the time - very difficult to rinse hair without getting scalding then cold water.

The location was ideal for where we needed it to be, the staff were very friendly and accomodating; the breakfast in particular was real value for money. The room was clean and tidy also.
There was a lack of space to hang clothes, especially for a couple, and the shower was very poor, warm, but a really slow trickle. No place either to store bags, suitcases etc.

Convenient for where I needed to be. Friendly staff.
Perhaps an earlier start than 8.30 for breakfast? It was OK on this occasion but would generally be far too late for me.

the accommodation was very clean and the room well decorated. I would have liked it had there been a couple of bedside tables in between the beds to put things on. The beds were very comfy.

Glenthorn Private Hotel, Morecambe - Reviews & Ratings"Overall the our stay at the Glenthorne was a happy one. The hotel was as I expected from the information given about it on-line. The staff were all friendly and helpful." (3305148826)
It was clean and comfortable with en-suite facilities. The owners were friendly and approachable. Breakfast was excellent.
The corridors to the rooms were very narrow. The television in the room did not work well (poor picture quality and remote control did not work). The beds were covered in a plastic sheet it was clearly meant to protect the mattresses but made the bed get hot and sweaty.

Glenthorn Private Hotel, Morecambe - Reviews & Ratings"A good friendly greeting, We arrived early but it wasn't a problem . They're fairly new to it an d I hope they keep their enthusiasm ..I'm sure they'll do wel in an arewa that can only improve given the climate nowadays it has to become more popular to holiday at home ...and morecambe is so close to some of the most beautiful places in the NW of England . The area has obviously not had a. easy time as Morecambe has not been an 'in place ' for years - but given the climate this could all change and Glenthorne private hotel is in the right place to take advantage of this . The area is undergoing extensive renovation too ..so we'll be back again ." (3304974800)
Very friendly and helpful owners / staff . Excellent value for money . Good breakfast . Plenty of information at hand .
Nothing .
