Disapointed
The staff were very friendly. Breakfast was good. Disappointed with the room. Decor was very old and dated Only one towel in bathroom, there were two of us, however I asked at reception and got another. The door of the room kept getting stuck. No air condition and poor lighting. The t.v remote did not work and two plugs behind the table were loose from wall.

This was quite a nice hotel although a little dated but was just what we needed to get our head down at night. The rooms were very warm which made it a little uncomfortable through the night. The lighting in the room was quite dim also in the bathroom. Drinks at the hotel bar were a little on the expensive side. We only had breakfast which was nice with plenty of options. The views in the garden area at the back was lovely and the staff were very pleasant.

This hotel is not as described!
I have seen this advertised as a four star hotel, which is laughable. The initial room I was given was at the end of a corridor and the light in the hallway did not work! The room itself was very shabby and smelt stale. Some of the issues were a stained carpet, grubby walls and windows, mould in the bathroom and dirty toilet, loft hatch with no lock situated above the bed, the scratches on and around the loft hatch were what pushed me to ask to change room! The second room was better and almost clean, the bathroom appeared to have been actually cleaned, but there was hair left on the glass on the side. The bed had been made leaving the mattress exposed at the top, there were stains on the desk and the linen and mattress (and something I’ve never seen on the pillows, possibly bobbling from cheap fabric?) I decided to accept that ‘you get what you pay for”, and then the electricity turned off. The duty manager had been told that the electric should be fixed by 10.30pm. I couldn’t believe that a hotel of this size did not have a generator. The staff were in the middle of cooking dinner when everything switched off! The staff in this hotel were all working hard and the duty manager stayed calm and treated everyone with kindness, but I am shocked at the conditions they are working under. When the electricity went out lots of guests were standing outside complaining about the hotel and sharing their stories. I couldn’t stay and have been promised a refund

This property is well pass its sell by date and is in desperate need of refurbishment and probably the worse hotel in the group as it’s in need of money spending on it but I feel sorry for the staff who are having to put up with the complaint about the rooms but the staff I have to say I cannot fault they were extremely helpful. The breakfast was moderate and odd times at the weekend.

Lovely little hotel right on the river ribble, so it was a nice view from our room. The room was nice, with comfortable beds & super comfy arm chairs. The hotel in general could do with a bit of tlc as it was quite dated. The only downside was the constant noise from the traffic from the motorway.

The service in the restaurant was terrible it took me 2hours for them to serve 2 courses. The check in was also very slow. The receptionist was far too interested to be looking at the computer screen for him to even acknowledge that I was standing at the desk. And the room was smelly from what appeared to be a leaky shower screen.
