Inspector comments
"Industrial chic, urban glamour and great food."
Overview
Quite Simply French restaurant with boutique rooms is something of a hidden gem. It consists of four rooms above a two-storey restaurant tucked away in a narrow building wedged among some former riverside industrial buildings, right in the heart of Lancaster. Modern, spacious and comfortable accommodation takes stylistic cues from Lancaster's industrious past, but feature a number of up-to-date features such as huge smart TVs, coffee machines and funky lighting. Food, as the name suggests, is French at heart with a rustic approach to style and portions. The welcome is warm and breakfast memorable too.

Our inspector loves...
Modern comfort - Bedrooms are deeply comfortable, stylish and feature some nifty mod cons.
Riverside location - Wedged in amongst former industrial buildings and next door to the Maritime museum.
French influenced restaurant - A popular venue split over two floors.
City Bolthole - Bang in the city centre but also feels a little removed and out of the way.
Great base - deal for both Lakes and Yorkshire dales outdoor activities.
