The Lawrence

First time today for Christmas day. So friendly and professional. Lovely atmosphere and amazing food. The young blonde lady, who I think was front of house, greeted us with a beautiful smile as soon as we walked in. Waiters and waitresses always on hand. Thank you for a lovely meal.

Enjoyed a lovely themed Afternoon Tea at The Lawrence. We could not fault anything, the food was fantastic, the staff were all friendly and the service was excellent too. Beautiful venue and looked lovely all decorated for Christmas. Highly recommend this place, excellent value for money. Will definitely visit again.

We went for a Sunday sharing platter and certainly weren't disappointed. The staff were polite and very efficient, and after a drink we were shown to our table. The platter was amazing, beautifully cooked and every item full of flavour. The beef was cooked to perfection and the gravy was delicious. We managed some sticky toffee pudding for dessert which was also amazing. Highly recommmended.

I stay regularly at the Lawrence because the staff are great and the rooms & facilities are always well maintained and clean. It’s good having a kitchen with a fridge & microwave. There is parking in the area and 2 large supermarkets within 15 min walking distance.

The service and food was all brilliant. I don't think there was many people staying when we were there but it was very very quiet in the room. The only reason for a downgrade in the location was the hotel itself is in the middle of a built up residential area but it is only a short drive away to get to some very nice places.

I am writing to express my disappointment and frustration with the service I have received regarding my booking at The Lawrence. We paid a deposit in May to secure the main room for my mother-in-law’s 60th birthday celebration in January 2026. Despite this, I received no communication from the team for several months. When I finally contacted you in August to begin arranging the details, I was informed—without any prior notice—that my event had been moved to a different room due to a wedding booking. The alternative room offered was the cottage two doors down, which is completely unsuitable. It is not large enough for our event and does not provide the disabled access or toilet facilities required for our elderly guests, including grandparents. Since raising these concerns, I have only been offered three unacceptable alternatives: moving the event to a Friday or Sunday instead of the Saturday we originally booked, or relocating to your sister venue 25 minutes away. None of these options reflect the event we planned or the booking we secured months ago. To make matters worse, I have repeatedly been told that a manager would contact me to discuss a refund of my deposit, yet I have received no follow-up whatsoever. This situation is extremely disappointing and unprofessional. I will update as my experience continues.

A lovely boutique hotel. Historic building. Staff are really friendly and accommodating. Food was lovely both evening meal and breakfast. A few local pubs nearby as well as a nice hotel bar and terrace. Shower was powerful. TV had Netflix. Great value for money.

We went to the Taste of Lancashire 6 Course Dinner. We had the overnight stay with a surprise upgrade to the Ayr Suite. The service, staff at atmosphere were fantastic. We would defiantly visit again. Highly recommend.
