I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a warm and cosy place in Lancaster.Owners are lovely, always ready to help and take care of you. They made me feel at home. I spent 3 fantastic weeks there and I couldn't wish for a better place.

My aunt and I stayed for one night on our way from Scotland to Holyhead to catch the ferry to Ireland. Holly greeted us after our cold and wet afternoon with tea and biscuits in the fornt room - fantastic. She then set about giving us a map and instructions for making our way through the CBD -where to eat... More

I've been staying at the Shakespeare reasonably regularly for some 16 years - ever since I started at the University, and I've got to know Fred and Sally quite well since they took over the B&B. It's just consistently excellent. Wherever I stay now it is always compared and rated against the Shakespeare - from the rooms to the wonderful... More

Nothing was too much trouble for the owners of this marvelous Bed and Breakfast and they did everything they could to make my friend and I feel at home. Warm rooms, immaculately clean, central location, great breakfasts, friendly chats, tea and coffee always being offered, and travel tips and tourist information to boot!!! We shall return!

Sally and holly sorting... More

I just stayed one night but the reception I got was first class. Room comfortable and clean. Very flexible as regards breakfast times, and very nice breakfast. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Well situated in the centre of Lancaster and quiet. I can't comment on the parking. For me a perfect stopover.

We wanted a warm, friendly B & B in Lancaster city centre so that we could visit our son who lives there. We were made extremely welcome, we had a nice comfortable room and a really good breakfast. Our son was also made welcome. We would recommend The Shakespeare to anyone who would like to stay in Lancaster. It is... More

Sally and Fred go great lengths to accommodate you. Upon my arrival Sally was able to check me in early and brought me some tea while I was unpacking. Later I decided to visit Morecambe (nearby coastal town), and Sally made sure I knew how to get there, gave me a map and all the directions. You have to let... More
