Thurnham Hall Resort

Everything you could ask for as a base near Lancaster, with great facilities and lovely places to visit nearby. Lovely leisure area with pool for a daily swim. The studio room was large and clean. We had a longer stay than usual, so used the cleaning service a couple of times. You do need a car to get around, but the small shop is handy on the premises, if you run out of the basics. Great choice of eateries in local pubs and in the city. There is also a lovely restaurant on site if you want to eat in.

Thurnham Hall is splendid in every way: location, the buildings, facilities, and service. Our studio was spacious, had all relevant kitchen appliances including hob and grill (even though these weren’t used), and had superior furniture—compared to the inferior ikea-type in many other places. We loved many special things, like the expansive green spaces of every sort around us, the pool, excellent service, and the serenity. It’s a special place.

Set in beautiful grounds with lovely walks, the rooms are catered with everything you need from microwaves to bottle openers. There is also a small on-site leisure centre. Unfortunately, we did not get to try out the restaurant, but other than that, there really is not anything not to like.

The property was larger than what I expected; given I only wanted something to sleep 4 (A Adults, 2 children), I had chosen a single room with double bed and a sofa bed. To our surprise, it had a large open plan living room and a conservatory too which was a bonus. The property and the overall resort seemed well kept although we did not go around very much tbh. The pool area was clean and had a spa and sauna too. The kids enjoyed their time here.

All the staff were brilliant and their friendliness helped to make us feel relaxed during our time there. Dan and Georgina on reception were extremely helpful and approachable, going the extra mile to make sure we had an enjoyable stay. The rooms were very clean and well equipped and the pool area was also very clean and surprisingly quiet so that I was able to enjoy a relaxing swim along with an occasional dip into the warm jacuzzi. While I was swimming my daughter was having a massage at the Beauty Retreat, which she really enjoyed. As Claire isn't available every day we took the advice on the website and booked the treatment before our stay. This was our second visit to Thurnham Hall and we are hoping to book again soon.
