I can’t thank Rochelle & the team, Tracy, Abi, James, Katie, Irene just a few, enough for what they did for us. They made sure our day was perfect, Rochelle is amazing and such a perfectionist, just what any bride would want. I was so stressed leading up to the wedding with one thing and another but on the day I felt so calm and relaxed. Rochelle and Jimmy told me not to worry about a thing, that was their jobs! but to be honest they were that organised and professional.. but I must add friendly.. that there was nothing at all to worry about. They were absolutely amazing. I would 1000% recommend them and the hotel. Every member of staff at the hotel are wonderful and after visiting a number of times for different things have become like a second family, nothing is too much trouble for any of them.
Next the chef.. Keaton, all I can say is WOW, our guests will be talking about our ‘Mad Hatters Afternoon Tea’ for a long time.. it was amazing, both to look at and to taste, he certainly excelled!
On to our photographer Jo Bishop Photography she is fantastic, the best.. I am camera shy, but Jo made me feel so comfortable and confident. She is such a lovely person, we couldn’t have wished or wanted anyone else. It was like having your best friend there and having a good laugh. Saying that, she is very professional, but knows how to bring out the best in you. I didn’t want her to go when she’d finished, not to carry on working, I just enjoyed her company that much.
So to anyone booking the Mecure Hotel Georgian House & Jo Bishop Photography, you have booked a wonderful place and the best people to make your wedding perfect ❤️ and I wish you all the happiness in the world xx

Well what can I say and where do I start I had my wedding here on 8/6/24 my wedding planner Rochelle jeffereys was amazing from start to finish, she was more like a friend to us even pointing out things us brides forget about along the way lol, I would highly recommend having any event at the mecure and I will definitely be back next year to celebrate our 1 year anniversary for sure ❤️, Rochelle went above and beyond for us throughout our wedding from trying to find us a singer 3 days b4 as ours cancelled to sourcing us a new venue dresser at midnight the night before our wedding as ours massively let us down , I believe it was the one who the hotel actually use themselves and my room was out of this world , I am forever grateful to Rochelle and all the kind, caring staff at the hotel mecure and I class them all as family , love mr and mrs watkin Laura and Barry xxx

We stayed here on Saturday night for a Fawlty Towers night
We booked an early check in to make a weekend of it and use the pool and hot tub etc. Sadly the pool and hot tub were not in use and they’d no rooms available at 10-30am ( early check in from 10am). We had drinks in the bar until the room was ready at 12.30 pm but as we could not swim there was no reason to be there until 6pm
To be honest the room was nice and the breakfast ok but the food with the show was less good - the show itself was good though.
I felt ripped off by the early check in fee which was useless to me.
The bar in the foyer was pricey and poorly stocked but the lady there (Irene) worked hard - I got the idea that there were very few staff that day.
This is a nice hotel and it should be so much better….

Room was clean, was quite small and everything seemed crammed. Average accommodation, personally feel corridors could do with a brighten up. Bar was nice and breakfast had a good selection, great location.

Don't ever arrive in Preston in rush hour times, because finding the Holiday Inn in the extremely complex road system they have, makes it almost impossible to find the front entrance,and doesn't help this hotel at all.This city has a major traffic problem, which I can't see anybody finding a solution to it for many years, so I won't stay there again, which is a shame because it's a nice hotel,ruined by too many cars.

The Holiday Inn is located on a busy ring road and has a very small car-park, but the accommodation is typical of the Holiday Inn chain, and it represents reasonable value for money. The breakfasts are very good value, and the hotel is pretty heavily patronised during weekdays by business people. The staff are attentive and friendly. Good value for a business trip.

Stayed at the hotel on 28th November.
The hotel staff where very good on arrival and helped with me parking my 35ft long car and trailer.
The room was adequate as the hotel seems in places dated.
Due to it being in the city it was obviously noisy.
The great find was the food in the restaurant.
Muscles to start with a hot crusty roll
Beef Stew and Dumplings with veg for main.
The menu looked very very good and all the food I saw looked top draw.
The price £15 for 2 courses.
£20 for 3 courses.
I have probably stayed in about 100+ hotels this year all around the British Isles and Ireland.
By far the best food I have had.
Breakfast also didn't disappoint with a vast array of options.
Decent hotel with great food.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn for a week whilst working in Lancaster. It is situated on the edge of the town next to the bus station. The hotel is a typical Holiday Inn and everything looks the same as the others that I have stayed in. The one twist was the bar manager who was excellent, he managed the bar, took room service calls amongst everything else. By the Wednesday he knew who I was when calling in room service. I also requested something off the menu and he made sure this was correct. Hotel is 3*, service is 5*

We found the staff to be extremely polite and helpful. The breakfasts were superb with a great choice all nicely cooked, and sufficiently strong coffee. We had dinner there one night and found that to be really good too. The hotel car park is small but there is large overflow car park 50 yds away which you can park in for free all weekend.

Now I felt lucky to get a side-on view of the remarkable bus station from my window - but maybe not everyone would. There wasn't much on the overpriced bistro menu at the restaurant, but it is a small place that seems tightly managed. Built 15 years ago, the building functions well, with it's reception on the floor above with all the other services like the inevitable over-priced bar. Bed was great. It's a notch up on Premier Inn. Nothing exciting, but cosy and functional.
