A frequent visitor at this hotel I feel as if I know the place too well sometimes.
Rooms not big but well maintained with friendly and willing cleaners (I was on 3rd floor)
Reception staff always helpful and breakfast staff add the personal touch and engage with residents allowing a feeling of wellbeing.
Parking at this hotel is a downside with an already small car park reduced in size by building works. It’s frustrating at best with Parking Officers prowling looking to extract money off unsuspecting and law biding hotel residents who hadn’t registered their car registration numbers within 15 mins of entering.
Anyway that aside, I’ve said it before this hotel might not be the Ritz but it’s clean, well run and if you need to stay in Preston close to the city centre it’s the best option.

Nice clean hotel. Bed very comfortable. Breakfast lovely. Staff very polite and friendly. Hotel in perfect place for central Preston. Hotel undergoing refurbishment, but apart from a bit of scaffolding we wouldn't have known.

Stayed here to attend a course last week. While looking to book a hotel I always check first to see that there’s parking which evidently it did. On arrival the car park was completely full and I had to park on a road with double yellows just to check in. There I was advised there was an overflow car park I could use. Brilliant I thought, but the catch is you got to be out by 7am when I didn’t have to leave until 9am. Saying that the staff food and everything else at the hotel was fine. Getting up a lot earlier than I really needed to though wasn’t the best.

Right on the doorstop of the bus station, friendly staff, clean facilities, central location. Poor parking facilities, first come first served basis, so if you're not booking in early you will struggle for a space

This was our second visit in two months to this great city centre hotel. We had a few problems with our room on our first visit but it was all dealt with promptly by Kay. This time we had a fully refurbished room on the 5th floor overlooking the bus station. The rooms are of good size and the bathroom fittings of good quality. We only had issue with the wardrobe rail, which is too short if you are staying for 4 nights as we did. The hotel has a great bar and restaurant area which has a nice atmosphere. Dinner here is very good, limited selection, but all cooked to order. Breakfast is very good too, with plenty to chose from. The staff at the bar and restaurant are excellent and a big thankyou to Tess and Lorraine at breakfast. They even remembered me from our first visit. Large city centre hotels take note. The hotel has an excellent location for the city centre unfortunately the carpark is very small and spaces are unlikely to be available if you arrive after 4pm. Car parking is available at the bus station opposite - £4 overnight and £6 all day. We would recommend this hotel.

Stayed here for 4 nights on business and was allocated a refurbished room which looked like it was unused previously.
Very quiet 6th floor room, really comfortable bed and a great breakfast served by Lorraine who was very helpful and friendly.
Unfortunately there was a bus load of visitors, many of whom were rather bad mannered especially at breakfast.

These are lovely gardens that have been painstakingly restored. Not an easy garden to walk around, plenty of hills but the effort paid off with the wonderful bluebell woods. Later in the year one can see where more colour will appear in the garden. A bit more in spring would help, especially in the more formal part of the gardens. Whilst the signage is generally OK, it is a little confusing in places.
A dog friendly garden. If one can take a dog into an iconic garden such as this - designed by Edwin Lutyens & Gertude Jekyll - it shows up the poor dog attitude of so many National Trust properties. We will visit again.

Went for a wedding reception and the venue was outstanding. From what we saw both walking around and from photos a beautiful place
