My wife and I stayed here, together with around 100 (two coaches full) for an overnight stay on the outward bound leg as part of a Lochs & Glens holiday in Fort William. We loved the food and the room but think that L&G should just send one coach at a time there in future as the staff had some... More

We stayed here as a halfway house between Blackpool for the lights and Southport visiting relatives. The hotel is functional and relatively clean. The room we were given actually hadn't been prepared so we were moved to a different room which had been. The hotel is right on the roundabout at the M6 junction, we had a room overlooking the...

I was sceptical about the Tickled Trout, having read some of the reviews on Trip Advisor. However, as I was using my Tesco vouchers to pay for the majority of the hotel bill, I thought it was worth giving it a try. I was pleasantly surprised. That said, we had booked an executive room which was of a very good... More

As a "Club" member and having used this hotel over the years as a halfway stopover between Ayrshire and family visits to Hertfordshire, it had been a few months since our last visit. Well, what an (internal) improvement has taken place! The once dull and dreary entrance hall and open plan lounge has now been replaced with a tastefully decorated... More

I booked a suite in this hotel for x2 adults and x3 children with the central booking service who were incredibly helpful. I then got email confirmation which detailed persons staying etc within 5 mins - all very efficient this far. Then we arrived......On arrival Abul was very polite and reception looked good. We arrived at 20.00 which was already... More

Several months prior to booking our wedding with this hotel, I was let down a few months earlier when the hotel rang and informed me that the Christmas Party I had booked for twenty work colleagues had to be cancelled due to a ‘lack of response’ for their party packages. With only two weeks until Christmas, I was left to... More

This hotel must have had a 'former life'. It looks really off-putting from the kerb - no appeal whatsoever. One of the staff said that it had a swimming pool once........was it a leisure centre or a Travelodge....or? It certainly needs a coat of paint on the outside. Once through the door it looks like a MacDonald Hotel, but they... More

Hotel is very clean , I had a very nice room, nice comfortable bed. Food was good but pricy, scampi and chips £13.50 , and to be honest a bit poncy, served on a board which seems all the rage these days. £4.40 for a pint of Guinness I must be going mad. Wifi, work this out free in public... More

Very friendly hotel just off jct31 on M6 near Preston. Beautiful setting also. It seems to be set up for businessmen but I think with a bit of a push this could be family-friendly. Lovely restaurant also. Highly recommended.
