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

Lovely stay
Brilliant service from Ishwar and Sabita, true care and consideration for an octogenarian guest. Great breakfast menu - cooked to perfection. However, stairs no lift and parking circa 100m in private shared carpark. Not at the pub next door which is only available for pub dining.

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.
