“Great hotel; excellent food; lovely spot!”

We stayed there with our son from 22nd-24th April. Our rooms were excellent; the double room had a separate sitting area with tv and the bedroom also had a tv! They were spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished. The bathroom was huge - but there was nowhere to hang clothes up in it! The evening meal was delicious with appetisers and... More

I reviewed the hotel last year and rated quite poorly, on the basis of the very down-at-heel rooms and variable service. So, I wasnlt looking forward to it when I knew I would be staying here again. Much to my surprise, my room was beautiful. Newly re-furbished, with very elegant modern furnishings, all very Oka, flat screen TV, natural carpet... More

We stayed one night at the Clifton Arms in March. The hotel is situated right on the front at Lytham with a fantastic view acros the estuary. Unfortunately our room, although large, was very tired.

“rest not on your laurels”

A hotel resting on its laurels with no real competition in Lytham. Lovely rear room with no view. Breakfast tables not quickly cleared and hot food below expected standard. Letter of concern not acknowledged. An expensive one night's stay disappointing. Not to be recommended! More

The staff at the Clifton were fantastic. The breakfast was expansive (gorgeous smoked haddock) and the food was consistently very good at dinner. The hotel could use a moderinzation in the bedrooms, but even then I still think the overall experience is superior for Lytham, which doesn't have much in the way of upscale hotels. I would choose this for... More
