Rooms slightly dated, parking poor but staff very welcoming and courteous and evening meal and breakfast great. Central to Preston and right next to bus station. Not situated in the most pleasant area of the city.

Stayed for 2 nights and was disappointed to see the whole hotel, from carpets to paint to furniture to bathroom fittings was all very tired, worn. The hotel desperately needs refurbishment especially when you consider the cost per night in comparison to the local competition.
The parking out the front of the hotel is free and very limited, if you're out of luck then there is plenty opposite which is only a short walk.
On arrival the rooms air condition wasn't working & kept showing fault this was reported and resolved within the hour - apparently the aircon machinary on the roof is tempremental, continues to fault/trip out & needed a reset (another example of a 'tired' hotel)
We found the staff all very helpful & polite.
Best part of the stay was the continental & English breakfast which was perfect.

We enjoyed our stay here. The staff were friendly and attentive. The room was clean and pleasant. Breakfast was good with a nice range of food, the cooked breakfast was buffet style and very fresh. The bar stayed open as long as we wanted it to in the evening. No complaints at all!

Firstly the web site says no parking, so we parked elsewhere only to be asked atvtge front desk if we had parked with them out front for free? Then given a twin room as they had no doubles left. Other than that an adequate hotel for the price location great for the city and the bus station.
Decor a little tired and past its best but staff friendly. Breakfast good and varied.

In August 2012, Dingleford said about Hestercombe Gardens
These are really lovely gardens with something for all the family. Children can play in the brook, summerhouses, woods and grassed areas. Garden enthusiasts can enjoy the fantastic Gertrude Jekyll formal gardens. My only criticism is that labelling of plants and trees would have been helpful. The cafe at the gardens is excellent.

An excellent Edwardian garden planned on the soacious style of thise days with immaculate Gertrude Jeckyll-type colour co-odinated planting: several feature areas such as long water garden, great herbaceous beds, etc -- plus another, larger, older one with temples and buildings: entirely diffeent in character. Both extremely enjoyable and material for two visis instead of just one! The atmosphere is relaxing and restful despite the large number of visitors

My friend just got married here and it was just beautiful. The view was heavenly, and the scent from the flowers was great. The ceremony was in the orangery which was very pretty. The food was great too.

We absoltuely loved Hestercombe. The formal gardens are incredible and the layout and hardscape make you want to go home and start redesigning. Really enjoyed it.
