    My wife and I decided that we would celebrate 40 years of marriage with family and a few friends…read more The Parkway was not our initial choice but fate intervened and the Parkway it was. They provided a free room and PA system all we paid for was the meal and wine. The service was outstanding and the portions of superbly cooked food enough to satisfy any gargantuan appetite. Martin held control and in his own inimitable laid back style mastered the evening, truly amazing. The facilities at the Parkway gave our out of town guests the opportunity of using it as a base to visit family and/or the tourist attractions which they all took advantage of. A particular guest has back problems, the Parkway sorted out her bed and she had a wonderful stay. One can ask for nothing more.

    We had a voucher for Afternoon Tea, and decided to make a stay of it by staying over for the night…read moretoo. The Afternoon Tea was nice, but not quite at the quality I would've hoped for. You were offered "tea or coffee" but with no choices of tea blend etc, so what came out was a teapot made with teabags (PG Tips judging from the tea elsewhere in the hotel), but that was no dealbreaker, just surprising. The sandwiches were ok, but nothing overwhelming, and on cheap thin bread. The scones were really delicious, I just wish they were bigger, or there were a few more of them. The cakes were pleasant, if a little dry. The posset (after we worked out what it was... we thought it was a subtle strawberry mousse) was pleasant. Afternoon Tea was served in a pair of beautiful Victorian reception rooms, but the musical accompaniment was odd... Walkin' On Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves, and a few other pop hits. Also a chamberpot was placed by the fireplace... so I'd assume the staff weren't familiar with what a chamberpot actually is! So overall not bad, but not great. However, the hotel part of our stay was wonderful! Yes it's a bit of a pricy stay, but as a one off, it really was a lovely luxurious treat! We stayed in the Serenity Spa room, which had a lovely comfortable king sized bed, ensuite, conservatory, and an outdoor sauna and hot tub in a secluded yard just for our room. The hot tub was lovely, we really enjoyed that, but we couldn't get the sauna to work. Also the shower in the ensuite was one of those all singing all dancing numbers with jets and sprays and waterfalls and allsorts. Very nice! The en-suite was modern and spacious, which was very nice, and in contrast to the main room itself which was Victorian elegance with chandeliers and high ceilings. The furnishings were warm rich colours, and although we thought the bed looked like it had a bit of a dip in it at first, it turned out to be veeeeery comfortable! It's a shame there was no plug near the bed, but there were others throughout the room and conservatory. The addition of a free-to-use mini fridge, bathrobes and slippers were nice too. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, both the continental and the full Yorkshire that we opted for. The grounds of the hotel are truly stunning, real Victorian English country gardens with winding paths and quiet seating areas, with some of the most beautiful views you'll ever see. Parking was free and roomy (we saw 7 cars parked there at one point with no major squashing). It's also within just a few minutes walk of the main village and street. If I had the money, I'd happily stay here again.

    Great food and a comfortable room, plus helpful staff. A great place to stay when visiting the…read moreBronte Museum.

    We really enjoyed our time in Preston, and the hotel and spa here certainly made our quick trip…read moreeven better. The hotel was very clean, stately, and the grounds were lovely. The bed was very comfortable and we really appreciated the high ceilings, beautiful grounds, and enjoyed our walks around the estate. If you're working like we were, note that the internet is indeed fast enough for a developer who runs team meetings to lead all their meetings! I had a spa session with massage and facial and it was excellent! I swam every day and used the sauna facilities. The locker room and pool area was kept very clean and dry. The lady attendant was fastidious in keeping the changing room dry and clean. There was a bit of an incident where one of my favorite vintage pieces I sent off to laundry was not returned to us when they dropped off our clean clothes. I had actually been at the entrance to the hotel when the cleaner dropped it off and I verbally acknowledged to her that I could see my laundry because of my vintage piece and she stated they'd be delivered to my room shortly. Front staff sent back an empty hanger amongst our other clean clothes and had lost it. We found it on the floor amongst boxes behind the reception desk. They returned my item, and apologized personally. Not a big deal and glad it was resolved.

    Nice venue, adequate, yet a little distant staff. On the first night a gentleman, who as I learned…read morebook a romantic package for him and his wife Kelly, decided to beat her up. Lot of swearing, screaming, hitting and shouting in the room next to us. Police intervention, mr roach was arrested and poor kelly brought to hospital by ambulance. In other words, our first night was not very restful! Sure that the hotel can't do anything about this, however some pro active compensation would have been in order. The downside of this hotel is the aggressive pricing for wedding packages, meaning that there are many wedding parties going on. I counted six in two days, which brings a lot of drunkards to the hotel, which does not help if you're seeking a quite place to relax. Will I ever get back to this hotel, no.
