The room was large with two queen sized beds and a sofa and chair, a large flat screen TV and a fire place for the winter nights. Bath Robes and Moulton & Brown toiletries in the bathroom. The food was excellent (there is a sample menu on the website) and there was a large selection of wines but the best bit was the beers. They had Timothy Taylors Landlord and Best Bitter, Theakstons Best Bitter, Dark Horse Best Bitter, Moorhouses Elslack Ale and Thwaites Wainwright as well as a range of keg beers, lagers and ciders - Heaven!!!

Lovely back garden with their own hens which supply their eggs for breakfast! Tastefully decorated throughout and homemade apricot flapjack cakes available at all times for the taking.

Would stay again!

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.

The Inn is quaint, charming, and comfortable and the staff are kind, welcoming and accommodating! We arrived and were immediately happy with the safe and private parking accommodations. We actually arrived very late that evening, and called ahead, they waited up for us and were so kind upon arrival. The Hotel is SO charming, cute and cozy. The aesthetic is charming English cottage, while also being updated and feeling clean. The hotel rooms themselves are more modern (though unique) to give you all of the comforts of home - my fave being the towel warmer. Our room was wonderfully clean (and I'm a stickler on cleanliness!) and the bed was so comfortable, especially after a long drive. It was such a comfortable and clean place to lay our heads for the evening. The hotel has a restaurant that I would also recommend. Breakfast was incredible - one of the first hotel breakfasts where I haven't had to douse in pepper haha. Well seasoned and well cooked, high quality ingredients. Jonathan is a wonderful chef. My husband said the hollandaise was one of the best he's ever had. I'd recommend stopping by for sure, and don't miss breakfast! The hotel is also very unique in that they have local goods/art around the hotel, both as decor and for sale. Such a sweet touch. We bought one of Caroline's paintings - she's multi talented! Overall, I would stay here again. 10/10!!

The guy that works as the security during late serving is very friendly and attentive, during normal hours the bar and restaurant are manned by happy and welcoming staff.

To add to the atmosphere they light the fires in winter, and once established in all that cosiness it's difficult to tear yourself away. The prices are very reasonable and the staff are attentive and polite. I really can't think of any negatives about this place and look forward to my next visit.

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 got here on one of the rare sunny days in the Lake District and the room was filled with sunlight, with a gorgeous view outside to the greens and the little ponds. I'd highly recommend the spa lodge room itself. It has some amazing features: - each unit is a small wood house on its own, lots of privacy - ensuite outdoor sauna room, Jacuzzi, and indoor steam room(doubled as shower room) - spacious bathroom with huge tub, and separate toilet unit - the bedroom is nicely decorated (apparently each room has a different theme) - nice audio system both indoor and on the patio My only complaint about the room is that there are so many switches for light controls (and sauna room) but they didn't seem to be sorted in any logical order... I was very confused by them. Besides the room, the food in this hotel is amazing. The staff have also been very helpful in responding to my questions and arranging ground transportation for me. It would be my top choice for my next trip to the lake district.

Surprisingly there's no mention of the existence of a wine flight anywhere, but there is one which was very good. There's also some decent dessert and other sweet wines and I had a lovely chardonnay. What I found different here to my other (very limited) experience of tasting menus was the courses were really tasting and satisfying, I'm often disappointed by the main meat course but that was probably my favourite here. Really though I couldn't fault anything about the experience, apart from the classic struggle to get the bill at the end - not that we were keen to leave such a cosy environment! I would strongly recommend and would love to return.
