George Washington Inn

The room was lovely. Shower a bit small in the en suite but otherwise tip top. I was worried about being over a pub but needn’t have been. Good night’s sleep and no trouble at all. Hospitality ok. A bit stilted and not overly welcoming on arrival and service at breakfast was a bit high and mighty but still decent enough. Note the door into the bar for breakfast isn’t locked, despite looking like it is. Why they don’t just open it I don’t know but I could tell I was considered thick for not knowing this. Breakfast itself was excellent. However note you only have a 30 minute window (8.30-9.00) to take it and it’s the full English or nothing (apart from cereals). Not even a choice of eggs. Not a problem for us but best be aware of this. Quality of ingredients was excellent as was the cooking. Price was decent too. Overall very good.

Loved this pub. Have stayed at many pubs over the years and often regretted it as they can be unloved or grubby or tired. Not this one; spotlessly clean, light room and surprisingly large too. Super-comfy, big bed. Clean, pleasant bathroom with nice shower. Hospitable, welcoming hosts (in a suitably understated Lancashire style of course). Lovely cooked breakfast, nice coffee. And the real ale was all excellent as well. Many thanks, I wish there were more places like this.
