“Howarth House strikes me as a particularly well-run boutique hotel, equally suited to families and business travelers seeking a bit more charm than the standard chain. I especially appreciate that dogs are genuinely welcome, not just tolerated, and that the stylish rooms manage to be both immaculate and inviting. Its proximity to St Annes beach and the option to use leisure facilities at a nearby sister hotel are definite advantages.”

small shower poor soundproofing

the breakfast was acceptable.

the shower in my room was quite small. the water temperature was unpredictable, it would go from hot to cold without warning. the soundproofing was poor, and i could hear a lot of noise from other rooms.

low pressure every day

The room was large enough. That was acceptable.

The shower had seriously low pressure, I barely got wet. someone came into the room every day to straighten things up and empty the bin. I did not like that. I prefer my own space for multiple days.
