4-Star Hotels in Lancashire, United Kingdom

This majestic building is steeped in history which really adds to the enjoyment of a stay there. We had 3 nights B&B with friends and also dined in on one evening. Food was excellent but the real standouts were the friendly, helpful staff. Not only did they help with all our holiday stay requirements they shared the story and history of the hotel - which is almost 150 years old. For an old hotel the owners have done a great job in maintaining the building and it was a warm, comfortable setting for an autumn break. Highly recommended.

The hotel is right next to the station. There are also large shopping malls and supermarkets opposite. The room space and facilities are great. The only drawback is that there are not many choices for breakfast. I stayed here for four nights and every meal was British-style. The buffet breakfast is actually boring after eating it twice. I hope the breakfast supply can be more international and diversified

Nothing wrong with the hotel in general, but the PARKING IS £18 PER NIGHT!!!!! A TOTAL RIP-OFF!! No-one told us the parking was going to cost that much! All it said on the Trip.com website was paid parking, which you don't expect to be £18 per night!!!! Very disappointing and it spoiled our trip to Blackpool. Don't think we'll be back to this hotel!!

I really like this hotel, staff are brilliant and the full bottom of bottom is great. That’s where it does end though. House keeping continuously make the same errors that I have first hand found 3 years in a row. Dirty urine and blood stained bedding. Smelly and dirty stained towels being left. Areas within room not cleaned down between stays. Basic bed change and bathroom clean however wiping all surfaces and dusting etc isn’t always done. This could be improved by house keeping inspections. I was so disappointed that I returned after a bad experience on the promise of a return for 50% cost due to issues encountered last year to find the same issues we faced again. My children left urine and blood stained duvets and pillows with the covers. Disgusting. Well over an hour to be brought more , 3 children waiting to sleep whilst I am informed the staff member was sent on a wild goose chase to locate bedding - unsure of this but thanked the staff member as it’s not front reception staff fault at the end of the day. The view and location are great but without clean rooms and bedding not even a free stay is worth considering.

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.

Located within the highway service area, traveling is very convenient. The hotel has a lawn, which looks very clean and comfortable. The room is clean and hygienic. Parking is easy and free.

Lovely resort with plenty to do on and off site for children and adults. Despite the poor weather we were able to enjoy swimming, arcades and play area. Shops were conveniently located only 6 mins drive away. The lodge was clean and the kitchen was very well equipped. We particularly liked that tea towels, sponges and washing up liquid provided as well as portioned salt, pepper, tea, coffee, sugar and portion milks. Thanks for a great stay!

I like this hotel and have stayed here a few times. It is well located near Blackburn just off the M65 at junction 5. The on site pub is nice and there are also numerous places nearby where you can socialise and eat and drink. The room is of a high standard and modern, the bathroom is more than adequate for shaving or doing makeup properly. The room was warm and comfortable even though it was quite cold outside. Check-in is straight forward and handled in the adjoining pub. Once you have checked in your key card gives you access into the hotel accommodation. There is a night porter available when the pub is closed but you won't see staff in the hotel accomodation apart from housekeepers in the morning so it's useful if a little discretion is required.

I felt pretty good in Lanka Town, the environment was good, and I also checked out an old-fashioned elevator with manual door opening and closing

Whilst staying at the hotel alone I’d friends along the road with other friends staying. I’ve been to the hotel before and always had an excellent night’s sleep in the extremely comfortable rooms before being looked after in the morning for tea or coffee then helped myself to the extensive and excellent quality breakfast The staff are a good crowd and ensure that if, as I suspect happens most Fridays there’s a wedding, you’re tucked away at a distance from any racket which shows that the hotel actively considers the comfort of each guest. There’s loads of parking outside and the hotel is dead easy to find and has the easiest motorway access that you’ll find One small gripe is that the ‘fitness suite’ is shut on the weekends but that doesn’t detract from the stay in the least

房間真的很一般，除了客廳有海景，其他的各種設施都很落後，牆很容易掉灰，靠一下衣服就白了。而且房間每入住一人要到店額外交50磅衞生費，四個人一起住花了小四千，根本不值這個價，人均一千我都能住附近的五星酒店了，還能包一頓早飯，住這裏純純大冤種！我來這看那還不如我家小區放的煙花更是冤種裏的冤種！！！！

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.

We stay here quite regularly - not because the hotel is fabulous but because it's the only one in the area which has proper king sized beds available, and because the location is perfect as we are driving down the A6. They don't do weddings either which means you dont have all that noise to contend with. Hopefully now it's being rebranded this update will continue throughout the interior. The rooms are very dark and dated. There was a slight issue when we arrived as my message did not seem to have got through to say we needed a ground floor room due to mobility issues and by the time we arrived they had all been allocated and most of the lifts are currently being replaced, but the reception girls quickly got that sorted and gave us a family room with 2 double beds. The mattresses were in dire need of replacement - terribly saggy and one of them had a huge dip in the middle making them extremely uncomfortable. The duvets are horrendously heavy. There is no need to have something so heavy as you can get a good amount of heat from a much lighter weight duvet. I struggled to move under it as it weighed down so much and I have arthritis in my shoulder making it almost impossible to turn over. We did ask at reception for something lighter and were given sheets to use instead but the weather turned a bit cooler so the sheet was just too thin. I cannot imagine how the cleaning staff cope with changing the covers on these monstrosities daily when people check out. The cost of the 3 night stay for us was around £450 for room only. Extremely expensive. If we had booked B&B it would have been over £500. I do realise the spa/pool etc is probably covered in this price but perhaps a different price bracket to include or disclude the amenities might be a better idea as we were only basing ourselves there to sleep, and go out and about all day. The only other issue we had, which was of no fault of the hotel in any way, was the way some other guests had no concept of the amount of noise they make nor did they seem to care. We were wakened regularly to doors being let slam shut rather than gently closed at very early hours (there were a lot of workmen/businessmen staying) and in the room directly above us there was at least one child who sounded as if they were using the bed as a trampoline to bounce off of, onto the floor with a massive thud then run up and down the floor constantly from 6am each of the mornings.

When we arrived the barrier was down. We had to do that awkward thing of move the car over as far as you can and then stretch to reach the button to contact staff. Unfortunately the staff member who answered the gate intercom was a little hard to understand and she cut us off rather abruptly with the gate still remaining down. We pressed again and the gate allowed access. We checked in and I advised that I had already paid online via paypal. The staff advised that any payment was not an actual payment rather a hold - I would still need to pay again. If you use paypal you will know it takes several days to show on your account so I could neither prove nor disprove their claims. We got to our room and were pleased to be in an annexe as there was a wedding going on. Nice room size etc kettle, coffee machine, mugs, tea and biscuits. I checked in the bathroom for glasses and there were none available - I would assume that a hotel charging over £100 per night would at least supply plastic cups or proper glasses to drink water from. There was plenty of storage available and a decent hairdryer. The shower was nice - however the glass door was not long enough to prevent significant amounts of water hitting the floor - the bath mat was sodden. The shower tray and grout work as well as an area near the radiator had mould/blackening to it. There was also a random hole in the ceiling - possibly an old leak? The food was great although it took a while to arrive. I did ask for mild peppercorn sauce and no mushrooms - my food arrived with mushrooms and no peppercorn sauce. We left the restaurant believing that the meal would be added to the room - a member of staff followed us out advised that many people may have sat at the table and they needed a room number (this was given when we arrived at the restaurant) and could we pay now?!; perhaps they need a better booking/checking system in place? We then went through to the bar there were several tables which had been left with glasses on them. They were only removed when we sat at one of these tables, the table remained unwiped. The two staff on didn't come over to see if we wanted more drinks and didn't interact with other people who were hovering also intending to purchase drinks. I eventually took my chair and sat in front of the bar waiting for the staff to return from a patrol; neither asked if they could help so I shouted over. I believe this is indicative more of a lack of training in customer service than rudeness. Children from the wedding were becoming a nuisance by this point and were pretty much unchallenged by staff. They were running in and out, up and down stairs taking milk from the fridges and leaving plastic rings on the floor. They made enough noise to be heard on at least the first floor as the fire doors were help open by magnets. In our room we hoped for peace and quiet only to be left disappointed by music echoing over from the wedding - this finished just before midnight. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. The gym was lovely and quiet at 8am although the sauna hadn't quite heated up when we headed in there around 8.40ish. Breakfast was mostly tasty - the black pudding lacked any flavour - the scrambled eggs and hash browns were great. The tea was the wrong colour and tasted like very cheap teabags. There were bits of chips on the floor from the food service the night before.

Located within the highway service area, traveling is very convenient. The hotel has a lawn, which looks very clean and comfortable. The room is clean and hygienic. Parking is easy and free.
