Great spot. Good food options nearby and at the hotel.
The staff went above and beyond when we were running late to ensure we were able to get into our room. They even deep cleaned my room before arrival to assist with my potential allergies. It really made our stay wonderful. I can most definitely recommend!
Only note to be aware is the bedrooms are upstairs and you need to be able to carry your bags up to them.

The rooms are modern with tech and design.
Push buttons for almost everything- great!
It’s a little weird to “check in” via the restaurant, this was the only awkward part.
The rooms become rather warm when it rains as the automatic sensors close then windows when it rains

Stunning boutique hotel with superbly designed, extremely stylish luxury rooms. Gorgeous rain shower. Thoughtful touches and everything you could need for a wonderful stay. Attached is a smart French restaurant with a superb reputation if you’d like a luxurious evening meal or breakfast too! Very short walk to Lancaster town centre, the castle, Judges Lodgings etc and countryside walks with views just to the rear of the hotel. Parking permit for the car park to the rear was provided for the duration of our visit. Totally recommend!

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.
