A hotel in Lancashire has been named among the most stylish the UK has to offer near its beaches in a new list by The Times.

Introducing the list, the newspaper said: “These are the boutique hotels that really shine in the summer – with easy-breezy spas, superb food and cocktails overlooking some of the UK’s loveliest beaches”.

Hotels in Cornwall, Kent, County Durham and more feature in the list alongside one in Morecambe.

The Bath, a pub with rooms that opened just two months ago, features in 13th place on the list and is described as being the best option for a “great-value weekender”.

What did The Times say about The Bath hotel in Morecambe?

The Times said: “Lancashire’s coastline has been overlooked as a destination in the past but character-packed hotspot the Bath, a pub with rooms, is putting it on the map.

“Opened in May 2024, this beachside hideaway has 11 doubles to bed down in, simply but stylishly decked out with geometric-print carpets, art deco-inspired headboards and jewel-coloured feature walls.

“The venue serves local Morecambe Bay chowder on Fridays and Saturdays, while the adjoining pub is now the Bath Tap, focusing on craft beers in a list featuring 70 per cent local producers.

“Morecambe has a classic seafront promenade, sandcastle-worthy beaches and good old-fashioned ice cream, fish and chips.”

A guest said: “Had an absolutely lovely stay at the Bath Morecambe. The rooms were spotless and the staff were super friendly, couldn’t do enough for us! The bar was right up our street, full of local craft beers and ales and they serve delicious chowder which was local produce from Morecambe Bay!

“Plus, being able to meet our friends and their dog was a huge bonus as the bar is dog friendly. Honestly the whole place was fab, we’d recommend it 10 times over :) will definitely be back!”

Another said: “What a superb little hotel! Beautifully designed and decorated, spotless and in a great location just yards from the promenade. The staff were very welcoming and helpful, cannot fault this place.

“They do not offer breakfast however they provide complimentary food I.e. porridge pots, alpen bars and of course tea and coffee making facilities which had oat milk available!

“There’s a hairdryer, ironing board and iron and complimentary toiletries! The bar is a lovely relaxing place which serves local ales and chowder. I would highly recommend a stay at The Bath rooms when visiting Morecambe.”
