The
Auckland is a small, family run hotel offering stunning views over Morecambe
Bay, an amazing natural amphitheatre surrounded by Lake District Mountains,
beaches, and tidal mud flats. The hotel is
ideally placed for sitting and watching the spectacular sunsets. The
rooms are small, but clean and comfortable with en-suite bathrooms, tea &
coffee making facilities, flat screen
televisions and wi-fi access. There are several ground floor disabled rooms.
The food is plain and simple, consisting of traditional home-cooked
family favourites such as roast
dinners and puddings with custard! There is a lift to the first and second
floors. It has a limited number of parking spaces but there is a car park opposite, by the
lifeboat station which is free for blue badge holders and there is free
parking further down the promenade if you’re prepared to walk or take the
bus, so do use the Loading Only bay in
front of the hotel to drop off your luggage and check with reception first!
The bridge room is small so I have to restrict the holiday to a maximum of 8
tables. Morecambe
itself is a rundown seaside town which is doing its best to pull up its
bootstraps. If you stand with your back to the town and look along the
promenade, it is absolutely delightful, just don’t make the mistake of
turning round! If you like a stroll, said promenade is also informative with
circular plaques evenly spaced along its length with interesting facts about
the area. This runs all the way to the charming village of Heysham. The historic Winter Gardens are worth a
look, though there is still a long way to go before they raise enough money
for the hoped for renovation. If Art Deco interests you, why not try
afternoon tea at the Midland Hotel visited by Poirot in the television
series! Fans of the television series, The Bay, will be able to recognise
some of the locations used in the filming.
