Greeted by the owner as we stepped through the front door, shown straight to our room which was immaculately clean then showed me were to park my car. Overall he was extremely helpful told us of a restaurant to go for an evening meal which turned out to be very good, breakfast was excellent. If I am passing that way again then I would definitely return.

Excellent location, very friendly and helpful staff. Fab breakfast. The room was clean, had everything we needed. Some areas are tired but you can see they are working hard to upgrade the tired areas. Thank you your kindness and hospitality.

Always a pleasure to stay at this place

I am a regular traveller to Glasgow and Preston and Manchester and living in a country area between the east and west coast of England I use Arkale lodge as a stopover for to rest and to catch my trains to my final destination the next day . Room 10 was spotless, great breakfast and a nice host as always. Comfortable nights sleep and plenty of rest during my stay and a nice Sunday night stay which was restful

Stayed before, always excellent value

I have stayed at this property many times before and it does not disappoint. I love attic rooms and the nice owner upgraded me to Room 6 on the top floor . If you need snacks there is an Asda across the road and next door a pub that does meals and craft beers . Excellent vegetarian breakfast which helps with a medical condition I have which was tasty. Good price and what’s not to like

A good stay.

I enjoyed our 1 night stay made all the better by Ishwar the host. Really nice man. Even got in the car to direct me to his car park after I got confused by directions. It's 2 mins away behind buildings over the road. About half a mile, flat walk to station and town centre but £1.80 on one of the many buses that stop outside. Fantastic breakfast with cereals if you wish, juice/tea and full English.
