Farington Lodge Hotel

Very characterful hotel

Breakfast was good and plenty to choose from. Location was ideal for us as a halfway point from St Andres to London

Large room, very clean and a very comfortable bed. Plenty of safe parking on site. Lovely building, lots of character. Good value, we were with a large party, well looked after by the staff.

Worth noting the hotel don’t accept cash anywhere for future visitors.

The staff were extremely warm and helpful. Breakfast was tasty and the bed comfortable.

The Farington Lodge is extremely dated and in need of rejuvenation. The first room we stayed in was clean, albeit dated with damp spots around the ceiling. During our stay it was 32 degrees and none of the bedrooms have air-conditioning. Some of the windows were also sealed shut and unable to be opened. This made getting ready and attempting to sleep in the room unbearable. When we asked whether there was a fan available, we were told they didn’t have any. We had to request to stay in a different room, which was slightly cooler and the windows could open. Again, the room was clean but very dated. We slept with the window open due to the heat and at around 08:30am, gardening work began right outside with a leaf blower going for around an hour. Upon check out, the cleaning staff had started tidying the rooms with the doors open. We noticed each room being cleaned had a working fan in the room, being used by the staff. Slightly frustrating as when we asked for this, we were told that there were no fans available. I wouldn’t stay at the Farington Lodge again. It’s dated aesthetic doesn’t allow for a feeling of a modern, luxury stay.
