Stayed overnight on way to coast. Reception was excellent and well noted my Gold Card.
Room was on 6th floor with good views of the city. Very comfortable although furnishings a bit dated. Bathroom absolutely fine with good shower and bath.Beds and pillows were super comfortable.
Had dinner in the hotel restaurant and it was "steak week" with very good medium prices. The steaks were perfectly cooked to our requirement and the staff were really nice.
Same can be said for the breakfast with big choice of hot and cold foods.
Overall we were very pleased with our stay. Very good value for the money.

The staff were all very nice from reception to the Restaurant. I had room service my 1st night and it was very nice and a very large portion. The breakfast had plenty of choice and was really nice. The bed was really comfy. Room a little bit dated but fine for the 3 nights I stayed. My only negative is I was overlooking the bus station and the noise of the constant announcements from the station and the traffic I found it very very hard to sleep. Also through the night there was a noise like a generator not sure if there was next to my room as my room 312 was the last on the landing next to a cupboard and stairs. As I've been on a course when I'm back in August I'm not sure I will stay again as I need my sleep.

We stayed at this hotel during a visit to Preston for a special occasion. The room was great and staff were excellent. We even got a free bottle of fizz delivered to the room which was greatly appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate in staying here again as location was great for our needs as only a short walk to the city centre.

A weekend Coach Trip took us to stay at this particular hotel overnight for D/B/B. Very impressed with the cleanliness of hotel and our rooms were first class, no complaints there! The Staff, where all exemplary, which always makes a difference, they were all so pleasant, even when, dozens and dozens of folk descended on them for both dinner and breakfast! It was chaos, queueing and waiting for tables....However, we agreed it was only probably like that when coach trips turned up! Evening meal was o.k. but breakfast was excellent, with something for everyone's palate and plentiful...well worth the wait! I do believe that something should be done about the organisation at mealtimes as although we took it in our stride, others didn't and were becoming irate. Staff dealt with it all admirably..Well Done to all of them

Stayed for one evening whilst working in Blackburn - a quick and easy 30 min drive away.
The hotel is an average Holiday Inn - all perfectly sufficient. The staff were very friendly, and the room service dinner very nice.
Decor is of the older Holiday Inn standard - so could do with an update. But it’s fine for a nights stay.

My mum had wnated to visit these gardens for a long time and we holidayed in Cheddar so drove there for the day. First impressions were good - we needed disabled parking and it was there...we strolled (with a wheeled pusher) along the flat to get a light lunch...staff were friendly and food was lovely. We then went to get the stair lift to the entrance...broken. It was a long walk round (comparative - for able bodied only a few hundred yards) for Mum but such is the power of the mind! We were given a map of walks including a "no steps" one - great idea, however it was full of slopes - again hard work for her. The central gardens in front of the house were very pretty but I really can't say it was the effort...there was not a huge selection of plants although the roses smelt heavenly.
So did the strawberry jam in the cream tea that we forced down afterwards!
The shop is nice albeit small and the plants were a good selection, all healthy and reasonably priced.

This is a 'must' visit and make sure you have lunch - the food is delicious and very well presented. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly and bent over backwards to accommodate our every need. the gardens were lovely even though it was raining so in the sun they must be even more special. Please visit - you will miss a gem if you don't.

I arranged a birthday lunch part for 30 friends to be held in the courtyard [if sunny] or the Lutyens room.The weather was not on our side but the staff did a wonderful job in catering for our every need. All the staff both before and on the day could not have been more helpful and pleasant. The lunch was exactly as we ordered and delicious.It was beautifully presented and tasted every bit as good as it looked. We could not have aked for more - our only negative was the weather which prevented us from totally appreciating our beautiful surroundings and walking off a few of those excess calories!

We had heard lots about Hestercombe, and that it was worth a visit, first on the agendq was a cream tea, beautiful, the gardensi thought, were a bit of a let down, we went 1st July & expected a nice show of flowers but except from nice rose's there was'nt much colour in the garden, on the other hand the woodland walk was smashing, well worth going for.
