The whole place is dated and could benefit from a freshen up. Rooms are of a good size and clean. Breakfast has enough choice, cereals, pastries, toast and preserves, plus a variety of cooked food. Ask and if they have it they will give it.
All the staff were very good and polite. Couldn't do too much.

Hotel needs a revamp. Very cheap and cheerful. Beds weren't comfortable. The bathroom was dated and worn, with bits falling off etc.
It served its purpose but that's about it.
Pub attached is a nice pub and food was good.
Staff were lovely though so nothing bad to day about them.

Second time staying here in the past month.
First time was excellent, this time not so good.
The bathroom lights didn’t work in the first allocated room so I was moved to another room.
In the second room the spare bed was dirty and upon retrieving the extra pillows from the top of the wardrobe, I found them to be filthy. Not just a little dirty, but disgustingly dirty.
The lady on reception was very apologetic and helpful, but the standards this time around were well below standard.
Such a shame as I thought we’d found a hidden gem at good rates but I would be hesitant to book here again.

We were able to find the hotel easily and there was ample parking. Despite being near a busy road, the room was very quiet (woken up by the birds!). The hotel staff were very friendly and informative when we needed to check out early.
The room was tidy and there was plenty of hot water. The bed was comfy.
The bar next door has lots of offers on food and drink and the staff are friendly. We ate there both nights and the food was good. Our only complaint was the lack of real ales, but we compensated with what was available.
Also great bus links to Preston.

The room was very clean and the bed very comfortable. The bedding and towels looked virtually brand new, soft, white, fabulous, spare pillows available for those who need them. Despite being next to a pub and on the main road to Blackpool, I couldn't hear a thing from outside the room, Bliss!
The staff (when I eventually found them - no-one on reception on any of the 3 days I was there), were lovely - very kind and courteous, going out of their way to help me park near the entrance (I have a Blue Badge and cannot walk far), and carrying my cases up the stairs. (No lift). Refreshments were topped up every day.
Two (very slight) negatives:
1. The furnishings looked very tired, edges of furniture chipped, carpet a bit grubby - time for a refurb perhaps?
2. The shower is over the bath; although it had a non-slip surface directly in front of the shower, it didn't extend far enough to stand on whilst exiting, so a bit nerve wracking! The shower itself was lovely and hot, and plenty of pressure.

If all you want, like me, is a clean, comfortable room to stay in overnight, then I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Woken at 3:45am by 2 extremely drunk men & a lady sharing the room next door who proceeded to shout and bang until 6:30am.
Went to reception and spoke with night manager who was unwilling to intervene in case the situation escalated.
Other guests also complained, including a family with young children who were constantly being woke up by the noise & crying.
Terrible night, which affected our plans for the next day as we were extremely exhausted.
Adjoining pub had no heating for evening meal or breakfast,

We had travelled 3 hours from the north and she found us an empty room to get changed in which was much appreciated. The room was perfect, clean and warm.
The bar was clean and tidy, we only called in for one after the funeral, no problems.

Reception not manned when we arrived. Had to go over to the pub to find someone to check us in. Room was a bit grubby and could do with re-decorating, lampshade missing, another light not working etc... pop up bed was awful, no padding, so an uncomfortable night for my son. Main bed was OK. Pretty much as expected for the price point, but will consider other options for future visits to the area.

Lea Gate Review 30-Mar-2025

Alex was working behind the Reception desk on the night I arrived and I found him to be a very pleasant, cheerful and helpful young man who knew how to interact with guests. The checking-in procedure was efficient and quick. The room was spacious and clean and the sound-proofing very good. The mattress was very comfortable as I don't like rock-hard mattresses that you tend to get elsewhere so that was a bonus for me. There are plenty of car parking spaces available at both the hotel and the attached Hungry Horse restaurant. Breakfast was a mix of self-service for cereals, toast, coffee and fruit juices with waitress service taking orders for cooked breakfasts. I didn't have to wait long for my cooked breakfast to arrive and it was very good. The price was very reasonable compared with other establishments listed in the search engine results. The location meant that I was only ten minutes away from my client's premises and I arrived for my business meeting in good time feeling refreshed having avoided the stress of a commute on the M6 and M55.

The room smell is absolutely disgusting, damp and the room in general dirty. There is a squashed dead bug on the skirting board that clearly hasn’t been cleaned. My daughter is coughing continuously from what I believe will be damp/mould spores. I have had to leave the extractor fan on continuously in the bathroom. Can’t even get a decent signal for a wifi so can’t contact anyone and the children are unable to use their tablets. I’ve paid for a family room and haven’t been provided any bedding for the spare bed. There is nobody in reception to complain to or get bedding from so currently 3 of us in bed together which is not ideal. I’ve been bitten on the back of my neck while laid on the bed. 2 of the light fittings don’t even have bulbs in them. I had a 2 and 5 year old with me so couldn’t take them elsewhere especially on bank holiday weekend and over 90 min drive back home. Appalling accommodation
