The best balcony on the seafront.
Good sea facing room. I think it has one of the largest balconies on the seafront. (Cromarty room) Fine breakfast. Why would people complain about hot plates?. Recommended.

Trudy & Peter were welcoming, warm, friendly from the very start. The Portland Room was very adequate for our families use. The breakfasts were freshly cooked to our requirements, fresh fruit daily, cereal. With cooked breakfasts, when Peter says the plates are hot he really means they are HOT. We found one draw back at breakfast was the coffee - these are coffee bags and take an age to “brew” - not really a criticism though. A really enjoyable 10 days.

A great homely B&B to stay in, I was greeted by the owner with a lovely smile and chat. I found the room warm, quiet and the bed was very comfortable. If I was to return to Morecambe, I would stay again.

Room with a view
The room was fine, albeit with a sloping floor - but the view more than made up for that! The ensuite was VERY small, with a shower over bath setup which might be better suited to a shower only. Breakfast was good, especially as we had some specific food requirements, and we were made to feel very welcome. Overall a pleasant stay, only slightly marred by the small ensuite, and the very squeaky doors!

I stayed 10 nights at The Shipping Lanes Hotel on my recent trip back to Morecambe. The hotel is well located on the prom, walking distance to bars and restaurants with private, off street parking. Trudy and Alan worked hard to make my stay as pleasant as possible. They both took time out of their busy schedule to chat and show an interest in me, My room was immaculately clean and had a 180 degree view of Morecambe Bay with its bay window. There is no better view in Morecambe. The full English breakfast each morning was cooked to perfection and served with a smile. Thank you Trudy and Alan, you deserve a 12/10 rating.

Everything was perfect except the shower over the bath. It was impossible to get a consistent temperature from the mixer taps - it would go from cold to scalding and back. A minor quibble though.

Good value hotel over looking The Bay
The Shipping Lanes Hotel far exceeded my expectations. The owners have obviously put in a lot of work to improve the rooms and facilities and the hotel has a lovely fresh feel about it. Great breakfast, nicely located on the seafront and close to town. Ticked all the boxes for a very reasonable rate. Found it a bit odd that I was asked to pay on arrival although I don't think that is the norm as others paid prior to leaving in the morning.
