Enjoyed every minute of our stay
Beautiful place, the room was gorgeous, lovely bath, decor amazing, my only disappointment was missing the owners sausage dog as it was their day off. We ate in the restaurant food and service was top notch, every staff member we came into contact with was so lovely. Hope to go back soon

Un peu de cuisine française en Angleterre!
A really great find! Un peu de cuisine française en Angleterre! Service is excellent, food is so good 10 isn’t enough. They actually know what a ‘kir’ is and the steak comes with a béarnaise thats perfectly made and at the right temperature. The dauphinoise potato was unspeakably good. The rooms are excellent, you can tell that someone has sat and thought about all the little details. Honestly, if you are anywhere near Lancaster for any reason and can find any excuse, you should eat and stay here. We are defo going back.

Short but sweet stay.
Had a lovely stay at QSF. The suite was well thought out and had everything we needed. The shower was lovely and the little touches like dressing gowns, slippers and lavender sleep spray were appreciated. We didn't have the chance to eat at the restaurant but it looked lovely and I would definitely like to return.
