Hotel berhampiran Lancashire Infantry Museum, Fulwood

The Tickled Trout Hotel was a great hotel. We only stayed 1 night, room was bigger than I thought it would be. Only 1 problem was that the bathroom needs a complete revamp because it is extremely dated. There was only a trickle of water from the shower head. Eventually we got hot water, it took ages to come. The rooms are a little dated but they r cute.

It’s good location very clean but food menu is very poor. Breakfast it’s good I would highly recommend it

Friendly reception, very clean, superb breakfast, great hotel, our only criticism was the room lighting was very poor. The bulbs must have been ultra low wattage.

I initially booked and paid for this stay back in January but due to ill health I could no longer stay. The stay was put on credit for me and less than a week ago I got in touch asking if it was possible to use the stay this weekend just gone due to a mishap with calendar clashes. With no issues or delays, it was instantly organised for myself and my partner to stay there, and our room was even upgraded a larger room which was available at short notice. I questioned late at night when I arrived where I could park due to uncertainties with signage, and was immediately advised whilst I was still in the car! We stayed in the Lime Tree room and it was beautiful! Very modern, thoroughly clean, and there were even tea, coffee, milk, bottled water and snacks available which was a great finishing touch and a saving grace for the unorganised! The bed was extremely comfortable, the bedding is great hotel quality too. We will be regularly visiting Preston for our sport as we compete in a local Strength & Performance gym, and we absolutely will be back. It’s definitely made us rethink about driving up and down the country on the day, and put us at ease after previous bad experiences. Winkley Square Residences is the place to stay if you are ever in Preston, located in a lovely area, and an even nicer place to rest your head, run by very helpful and genuinely nice people. Hats off to you guys👍🏼

We have just returned home after a three night stay at Astley Bank. On arrival, we were pleased enough with our room even though it looked a bit dated and tired. Friends joined us for dinner in the restaurant that evening and the food was good. On our first morning, we had breakfast in a small side room where we had the choice of fruit, yoghurt, pastries and a cooked choice from the A la Carte menu. All very nice. We had been informed their was a wedding that evening but as our room was on the second floor we weren't at all bothered by the noise and had a good night's sleep. Our main issues are around breakfast on the second day. Because of the wedding party, breakfast was a buffet in the restaurant. Also, on our last morning breakfast was again served as a buffet in the restaurant. On both days we were told to leave the restaurant at 9.30 sharp as the staff needed to prepare for lunchtime guests. We were also told there were no more pastries left as they had all been eaten. Astley Bank is a four star hotel but from our experience on the last two mornings, breakfast was not a four star event. We should have been informed that the A la Carte menu would not be available and, in our view, offered a refund. Our other issue was the over the bath shower in our bathroom. The water came out little more than a dribble, again, not what you expect from a four star hotel. The majority of the staff were very pleasant, with a ready greeting and smile. Mainly because of the issue over breakfast, we would have to think hard as to whether we would return. Any changes from what one might expect should be clearly explained upon booking.

Very clean and perfect location just off the motorway. Breakfast was a bit of a let down. Bacon and sausages appeared to have been sitting a while and overdone. Otherwise done. Would use again

Excellent all round!
