Booked a room for a last minute trip up north to visit family. Booked a standard room and was told there were only twins left on arrival.
I checked in at 10pm on a Thursday night and hadn't prepared for the parking being full. As a lone woman in preston I wasn't thrilled about the £4 parking that I was offered at the bus station but had little choice. The hotel parking spots are on the rooftop of the car park (floor 9) and the stairwell shuts at 10pm so I ended up having to walk down the car park ramps in the dark on my own. Slightly daunting but the walk accross from bus station was short. Just be prepared that you might have a little walk from parking so I would suggest to drop off bags beforehand. When I re-read the website it said parking is limited so just be aware that they're not lying 😄
Hotel itself is modern and well kept. Very clean and was impressed with the size of the room, even for a standard twin. As I was on my own, it was all I needed. Tea and coffee making facilities and bourbon biscuits (the BEST biscuits - if only I wasn't gluten free 😢) were good.
I noticed that pizza could be ordered even at 10.30pm so that would be great for travellers arriving late, like me.
I was on the 4th floor and it was easy to get to by lift or stairs (I did a bit of both) and all the staff I came across seemed friendly and welcoming.
Bathroom was nice and clean and shower curtain had poppers so that it could be removed and washed- all kept in really good condition. Dirty shower curtains are a bug bear of mine but it was all spotless in there.
Really impressed with the ease of access (other than the parking blip) and the quality and cleanliness of the hotel.
Would definitely return with husband or family! Thank you for a convenient and enjoyable stay.

Visit for the third time in the last couple of years this time with our local Gardening Club and the gardens were looking the best we have seen them despite a few showers during the visit. Plenty to do walks wise and we aim to return for a winter walk having only visited in the early/late Summer time up till now. A lovely place.

Visited with a group, not knowing what to expect and was absolutely thrilled. Simply beautiful, lots to see at every turn, and the unexpected around every corner. Will be returning as soon as possible. Loved it.

Hestercombe Gardens can be enjoyed slowly and at your own pace without too many other people around. It has lovely formal gardens you can wander around and look at the well maintained flowers. The wilder gardens are good to walk around with some interesting little features and a small waterfall. It is a nice place to sit and take in the fresh air or just wander. The walking is easy and the gardens not too big. We paid to go in and one friend took an annual subscription which seems a much better option and value for money.

Stunning venue with excellent service and hospitality. My friends married by the waterfall, and it was idyllic.

I love this place. I have gone a couple of times now, this place has something for everyone. Inside the house there is an art gallery, and high tea. The front gardens are pristine but my favorite part is the back gardens. Perfectly wild, the back gardens run lush, with even a waterfall and lovely resting places to boot. I've seen deer and swans here. A great place to get lost.
