In February 2026, Graham S said about Holiday Inn Preston
I had not stayed at a Holiday Inn for about 15 years after a mediocre/poor experience at one in Central London so I approached my recent stay at Preston with some anxiety. After having had 6 nights at Preston however, my anxiety was totally misplaced in that virtually everything was excellent. What stood out however were the staff - without fail, from checking in to leaving, they went out of their way to make the guest experience a superb one. Whoever is responsible for hiring at Holiday Inn Preston, clearly knows what they are doing and the staff were a true credit to HI.

Stayed here over the weekend. Loved it! What makes this hotel stand out is the staff. We had a fantastic weekend stay and couldn’t fault a thing. The hotel was lovely, comfortable and welcoming from start to finish. A special thank you to Fekri, Ron and Tess who were exceptionally helpful and made our stay extra special.. Breakfast was fab too. We’ll definitely be back

Great stay, right in the city but easy to get out to our place of work.
We had some drinks and food in the bar and Jess was great at making sure everything was to our liking.

I've been staying at this hotel and using the conference facilities for Business since 2022 and never had a bad stay. All the staff are super friendly but Amanda, Maria and Lorraine deserve a shout out!
The hotel food menu is great and changes regularly.

Allow 3-4 hours to properly explore the formal gardens, more naturalistic landscape, and the dozen or so follies therein. The courtyard cafe is reasonably priced (allow £20 for lunch for four) whilst the adjoining shop and plant nursery is compact but with a diverse stock range - visit there last, as it stocks many of the plants you'll have seen in the formal gardens. Book online in advance for a useful discount.

This was an organised trip as a day out for 30 people. Most went on a prearranged guided tour and everyone agreed the tour guide was terrific. Those less able did what parts of the garden they could and enjoyed the wonderful lay out and the flowers still in bloom and some of the historic interests. As we arrived early everyone had coffee or a drink in the café before setting off round the 48acre garden and although we were a large party the café dealt with us quite quickly. Heavy rain had been forecast but amazingly did not arrive so we were all in good spirits for the excellent food served at lunchtime something for all price ranges. We did not partake in the wonderful afternoon teas served from 12noon in the upmarket dining area, but had a quick look, these ranged from £8.50 to about £21.00! Try it for a real treat but the café is fine and has indoor and outdoor seating. Toilets placed in strategic places and a nice shop that included plants. Plenty of parking and picnic areas and you can take the dog.

Perfect place to while away some hours, enjoy the formal gardens and walk around the grounds. Lovely cafe area- make sure you check their serving times for hot food as we unfortunately were caught out and could only have cake!! (which was lovely).
