Best Barrow-in-Furness District Hotels

The most filthy disgusting dump ever. From what I could see. The main door was wide open when I arrived I looked in and just knew instantly I would have issues. I never dreamed it would be as bad as it was. I tried to gey the key from the lockbox and it wasn't working. I followed instructions to the letter. I obviously called to enquire and was shocked with how MARK dealt with me, rude, abusive and unhelpful. I didn't get in and I am sorry that I politely closed the door as he asked. I should have left it, as I didn't open it. I ended up going back to hospital and had no choice but to sleep in my car, which in fairness was probably a better option given the state of the door way and hall leading to other doors and a staircase with ancient dirty red carpet. Let's hope *********** and PayPal sort out my refund and block this scumbag ripping off anyone else. I was in a vulnerable situation and was left without a bed which I paid for.... what a horrible experience on top of having ongoing hospital treatment the following morning, which was why I booked the room in the first place. ADVICE.... PAY A LITTLE MORE AND KEEP AWAY FROM THOS SESPIT .

First of all, I want to correct you. The area of ​​the hotel room mentioned on the platform as ”4m²” is wrong! The room is large and the bathroom is 4 square meters. Secondly. This hotel is quite far from Lake Windermere. It takes an hour to drive.

Booked in advance, please with B&B rate. Arriving by rail, so train station a couple of hundred yards across the road made it ideal. Friendly welcome & allocated a room on the ground floor. Large double room with a huge bathroom, large/deep bath and seperate walk-in shower. Plenty of towels and shower gel etc. also. Large tv (many freeview channels). Bed was huge and comfortable, plenty of pillows also. I was a little concerned about road noise, however did not affect me getting off to sleep or wake me (stayed a Thursday night). Had a lovely evening meal with a couple of drinks, not too expensive. Likewise the breakfast ( had a full !) in the morning was very good also, plenty of choice. Checkout was friendly & efficient. Overall, no issues staying here and will stay again the next time I am in Barrow.

We decided to return to the South Lakes Zoo since we hadn’t been for nearly 10 yrs & decided if we did we would stop over as we live in newcastle and it’s a long day to drive there in morning & straight back in 1 day so I looked for accommodation close by. I came across the Abbey Apartments in Barrow-in-Furness only a ten minute drive from the zoo and being a young family we wanted to be close to bars & restaurants but have our own space not a pokey hotel room. The apartment is perfect I booked the penthouse (number 3) for the night and the location is perfect and comes with a onsite parking space which is a bonus being in a town centre. The apartment itself is very modern and I’d say very recently converted or re decorated as it’s spotless and the sofas still have their tags on them. The penthouse has 2 good double bedrooms with king size beds there’s a family bathroom with a bath and a separate shower and there’s a cosy living room/ kitchen diner wit all mod cons 60” curved tv with sky ,free internet , electric hobb a washing machine that I doubt has ever been used as that also has the big sticker on the drum door & everything you have at home plates glasses knives forks condiments iron ironing board everything although we didn’t use any of them they are there ! The beds are very comfortable for a rental. The location is brilliant we visited the ODD FROG restaurant /bar which is a 2 minute walk from the Abbey road entrance (turn left when exiting apartment block from Abbeyroad entrance) it’s a live music modern bar / restaurant that serve Tapas I strongly recommend visiting & in the morning again if you exit the apartment from the Abbey road entrance if you turn right this time & walk approx 4 minutes you’ll find Weatherspoons which we all know is a great stop off point to grab breakfast before you set off on your day there’s also a Tesco Extra about a 10 min walk from the apartment if you want to dine in and a dominos , subway ,McDonald’s all walkable. I would highly recommend the abbey apartments if you looking to stop in Barrow-in-Furness.
