What past guests shared about their stay
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Crab Hall offers a convenient location near the bus terminus and railway station, making it easy to explore the harbour and seaside town. Guests frequently mention the spacious and clean rooms, some even featuring a four-poster bed, and many appreciate the on-site free parking and the ample supply of tea and milk in the rooms. The connection to Bagdale Hall, a period house with a beer garden, adds to the hotel's character, although some guests have occasionally found the signage from the road to be unclear. Breakfast is often highlighted as lovely, and some guests were pleased with being offered breakfast even after the kitchen closing time.

mixed feelings about the stay

firm pillows bright room
the location was good, with access to nearby attractions.
the pillows seemed like overstuffed sacks and i barely slept the first night.. the room was too bright because of the car park lights shining in until late.

Fantastic Stay!

free parking helpful staff
I appreciated the on site free parking it was super convenient. The hotel showed distinct character and the room was both clean and quite spacious, which really adds value (a definite plus!). The staff were friendly and ready to help with anything. Breakfast was lovely with many delicious options.
I found it somewhat difficult to locate since the road lacked clear signage directing to it. This caused a little initial frustration upon arrival. Better signage could really improve the first impression.

underwhelming stay, some issues need addressing

dated decor noisy road
the location was convenient, close to amenities.
the room decor felt dated, and the carpets looked worn. also, the noise from the main road made it difficult to sleep with the windows open. i think they need to upgrade those rooms badly, .

Really good stay

convenient access generous selection helpful staff
The location provided convenient access to local attractions. Breakfast offered a generous selection of items, which i found very satisfying. Staff were helpful and very polite. I liked the on-site parking. It was hassle-free (and a relief in a busy area).
The television was partly obstructed by a bed post. This made viewing from certain angles difficult. It was a minor inconvenience. Otherwise everything was spot on.
