Reviews The Stork Country Inn

What a wonderful couple of nights we've just spent at The Stork Hotel for our honeymoon getaway. The room was beautiful, the food delicious and the staff are an absolute credit to the hotel. You made us feel so welcome. Absolutely love how dog friendly the hotel is, we will definitely return with our Weimaraner Penny 💛🐶🙂 Thank you so much Stork Hotel for a delightful stay. Best wishes Vicky and Kris

Recently refurbished. Lovely food. Early bird menu. Portions good. Became quite busy

Nestled away where the River Lune meets the coast, the Stork Hotel is a great stop for food and a place to stay. After a last minute cancellation elsewhere we booked the Stork for a one night stay. We paid £90 for a double room with cooked breakfast included. For a Friday night during the summer holidays in this location, we found this great value for money. The exterior is loyal to the local countryside and the interior has been updated since our previous visit a number of years ago. The well decorated modern room featured some extra luxuries like a Dyson Fan and a smart TV. Not to mention the shower was huge! As with a lot of hotels around this area, the nights are silent. Combined with a quality mattress, we slept really well. We were in a room towards the rear of the property. So I cannot speak on road noise for rooms towards the front. We had an evening meal in the busy restaurant. The menu had a good selection of pub classics and specials. The food was of a high standard and arrived in good time. The following morning we got down early for breakfast. When shown to our rooms the night before, the friendly staff told us the breakfast was at 7am. The website said 7.30am and the leaflet in the room said 8am. Safe to say we were a little unsure and tried the door at 7.30am, which was still locked. Either way this was a minor inconvenience on an otherwise flawless nights stay. The full English breakfast was prepared in good time and set us up for a day of walking. This included coffee and juice. There was an option for yogurts and cereals as well. However, we stuck to a cooked breakfast. Overall, we were really impressed with our stay and would like to return again in future to try out some of the local walks from the Stork and head over to the Smoke House in nearby Glasson Dock.

The Stork manages to combine a country pub feel with a modern twist that works very well. The food is creative with lots of choice and is good for vegetarian/vegan options. You can stay in the room above the pub and they are nice modern rooms. It is well positioned for walks to Glasson Docks or down the nearby canal.

Great Sunday lunch with friendly staff and a nice dining atmosphere. We pre-booked and so were treated to a free dessert which was delicious and there was a varied choice. I would highly recommend.
