Brilliant day out for the family .Plenty of space for the children .The flower beds were so colourful just coming into their own shame the daffs had finished but the tulips were coming out in wonderful colours and such different types not always seen

Took my elderly 'in-laws' who said they enjoyed it, but I found it rather disappointing. Firstly I thought it was rather expensive to get in and no discount for OAP's. the woodland walks and lakes were good. But when we got to the formal gardens we decided to stop for coffee. We enquired in the house but was told it would probably be too formal for us and were directed to the stable cafeteria. Good coffee etc. was served here by very pleasant staff. But on leaving found we could not get back directly to where we had left our tour but instead had to climb stairs back up to reception and round the block back to more stairs leading down to the house which was not very good for my disabled mother-in-law.
The house itself had various art exhibitions in different rooms some of which were just not for me. I thought after the Fire Brigade had left the house would have been put back to its former glory, depicting its history rather than just a sheet of paper as you went in. The gardens were well laid our but due to the time of year somewhat lacking in colour and some of the water features could have had cleaner water in them and maybe some fish?

Stayed in the Holiday Inn Preston, for 4 nights. I have to say this hotel is fab.
Rooms were lovely and spotlessly clean.
What stood out for me was the
Friendliness of all the staff.
The reception staff were so welcoming and friendly.
The Bar staff were amazing too.
Charlotte and the polish lady and the Bar manager couldn't do
enough for me.Even though I liked bitter in a san miguel glass.😆
They were all just top class..
The housekeeping staff also were amazing and always said good morning and all the staff at breakfast again top class.
I have stayed in a lot of hotels
over the years, but without a doubt, the staff at the Holiday Inn Preston, leave all of them behind in courtesy and friendliness.
Well done to all, this is how to run a hotel.👏👏👏👏

Great example of the Holiday Inn brand!
Ash and Kamila were truly wonderful in the restaurant and all the staff were top notch and professional.
Room was well looked after and I was made to feel properly welcome. Hope to use this location whenever I’m here.

Stayed here due to our train terminating here due to a storm. The staff were brilliant. We were getting a bus the next day so we’re happy to see that the bus station was right next door. We ate at the hotel and the food was great. Had a late check out which was perfect.

Parking is in short supply at the actual hotel car park but both times I managed to get a space, there is a car park just nearby if you can't get in.
Hotel is clean, rooms are good and recently refurbed, but the staff are really good - Leah on reception, Jess in the bar and Charlotte on restaurant duty all couldn't have been more pleasant and accommodating, which made the stay a real pleasure.

All the staff i encountered were super friendly starting with the Receptionist who checked me in and when i checked out remembered where i'd been. Had an evening meal on the 2 nights of my 3 nights stay, all good, as was breakfast!
Have to question why the air-con is not switched on until April though. There is a note saying if you need a fan request one, so i did, and i needed that to cool down, my room temperature was 23c, and at night a little to warm for me without a fan. The fan guard was a little dusty if i'm being picky so perhaps the hotel could give these some attention. During my stay there was roadworks outside, not something the HI can control ofc, with the fan on it blocked out most of the noise so i still had a reasonable nights sleep. I was pleased with the general cleanliness of my room, my room high up so had nice view of the Bus Station and Car Park. I came by train which is around 15 mins walk from Preston Station to the hotel and i made sure i'd walk past the Wallace and Gromit statue in the Market place! i'd be happy to stay here again, but perhaps needs a little refurb in parts?

Fantastic Hotel. Staff are friendly and welcoming. I'll be coming back here if I stay in preston again in the future. Great location next to bus station. The food was delicious and yummy. And the drinks are fabulous. There are plenty of plugs to charge up any device.

We stayed here last weekend for a night. The hotel is perfectly situated for exploring Preston city centre. The room was well maintained and crystal clean. The staff we encountered during our stay were all really nice particularly Ash on the bar. The bar is a lovely area to relax in whether you are on business and need to work, you want to lounge back in front of the TV or play a bit of pool. All in all great stay
