Nice hotel but unfortunately our room was too close to the recycling area and we were woken in the early hours by a bottle collection with crates making a clattering sound. The cold water basin tap was also faulty in the bathroom, no more than a slow trickle sadly.

The location was great, close enough to Blackpool to go for the day. The actual building itself is nice and inviting, inside and out. Staff were friendly.

Although inside the room, a note from the hotel advising we couldn't bring our own food or drink into the room was a little disappointing, especially when the menu was a little over priced and not much on it to our taste.

The room was due a coat of paint, stained walls and chipped paint. The windows were matted in webs.

We went for the weekend, it was a great weekend but just a few small things brought it down for us.

A great overnight stay at The Bluebird. We were attending a wedding nearby. Close to the motorway, but in a quiet area. The room was a good size & had everything we needed. We requested an iron & ironing board, and the team brought it up.
We wanted food in our room & had to order this downstairs in the bar, wait and bring it up. Not an issue, but the option for room service would have been welcomed.
The staff were all very friendly, helpful & welcoming.

A reasonable choice for a short stay

We stopped off at the Bluebird for one night following a wedding in the area. We chose the Inn for the location, which was on our route and very convenient. We were able to check in early and very easily - the bar manager was very pleasant and helpful. The cleanliness of the room left quite a bit to be desired. The bedding was somewhat stained, the window panes were mouldy and equipment for hot drinks needed a wash before use. However, we overall got what we paid for and had no issues with parking, noise, broken amenities etc that would have hampered our stay.

Wedding base.

We stayed here as a base for a family wedding, using 5 rooms. Everyone said how good the pub was and the rooms were lovely and quiet.
My husband and I had a meal on the night of arrival which was excellent. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful.
It was nice to have plenty of tea bags and milk cartons in the room instead of the usual 2. Very comfortable bed.
Can’t fault it at all.
Would definitely recommend over the nearby garner hotel as we dropped someone off there and it stank. Sewage works opposite behind some trees.

Can’t get passed the cigarette smell.

Despite the contemporary decor and comfy beds, we could not get past the incredibly strong smell of cigarettes in the room. It made the place feel dirtier and made us feel uncomfortable having our small children sleep within it. Had we not arrived so late, we would have quickly checked out. The smell was strongest in the bathroom. Walking in made us feel sick and felt the need to hold our breath, I’ve never smelt anything so strong.

The beds were comfy and the room was quiet and dark. The room wasn’t the cleanest and did need the paint work touching up. It’s such a shame, the smell needs sorting out.

From the moment that I arrived for my 2 day stay to the moment that I departed, the service was excellent. The restaurant offered well prepared food that was extremely hot, flavoursome and nicely prepared.

My accommodation was very good with a well appointed bathroom and good facilities. The road outside is very busy and quite noisy but, by 9 o'clock, it quietens down.

It's a pleasure to stay somewhere where the staff were all extremely pleasant, well trained and knowledgable.

If I'm in the Preston area, I would certainly return the Bluebird Inn.

Great place to stay

Just stayed for one night and wished we were staying longer. The Bluebird Inn is very easy to find and there's plenty of parking spaces. The property looks really nice from outside and is so much better inside. Lovely bar area and this is where you check in. Our room was really nice. Nice and warm, bed was comfy and the shower area was roomy as well. Excellent evening meal and the breakfast was one of the best we've ever had.Lovely and clean, friendly staff and a very well run establishment. We'll definitely be going back to such a nice, relaxing hotel. Perfect.

Location not the nicest being off a main road with large industrial units in the vicinity but fine for a quick stop over. Major downside for me was that the restaurant stopped serving food at 8pm which was quite strange.

We stayed here for 2 nights mid-week. The property was easy to find. There is plenty of free on-site parking. The staff were friendly on arrival and throughout our stay. Check in was a quick process (checked in online the night before). Easy to locate our room. The room was clean and spacious. The bathroom could do with more of a deep clean as there was some mould from the shower. We didn't have breakfast there as the timings and cost didn't appeal to us but we did eat in the restaurant one night. The staff were friendly and the food was good. The room was well decorated, quiet and had all he needed amenities. Good choice of tea, coffee and hot chocolate. We would stay again.

Stayed here for past few years over Christmas as convenient location to relatives. Everything looks a little tired now and in need of a decent deep clean. The corridors in particular did not smell clean. Unfortunately the main problem was no hot water. Tried to report at 10:30pm, stated they closed at 11pm but bar area etc all in darkness and no staff. Tried the 24/7 emergency number - no answer. Reported next day to staff who said they would send someone to room whilst we were out and if not able to sort could change room. Got back late from Christmas Day, having not heard from anyone to find still no hot water. Bar all closed again. When checking out the following day informed staff again who said they knew nothing about it.

Nice place to stay. Great service and the food was excellent. Very comfortable and clean room.
Only observation was that the floorboards above room 2 are very creeky and can become quite tiresome if you want uninterrupted sleep.

Would recommend a stay here. If in the area again we would book this hotel. Spotlessly clean. Nicely furnished spacious rooms. Good breakfast.

Anniversary weekend

This is a very comfortable hotel, it was perfect for us as a base. Our room was spotlessly clean and so cosy. We ate in the hotel both nights, once in the bar and the second night in the restaurant. Both times the service was excellent and the food very tasty. One afternoon we sat outside on the terrace and one of the local peacocks came to say hello. The staff were efficient and friendly. I would definitely return to the Bluebird Inn.

Great Place for a stop off heading South

Booked The Bluebird Inn for a stop off en route further South. What a find. Easy for the M6. Great rooms. Super friendly staff. Great Food. Great Drink. Spotlessly clean. Very quiet. Great value for money. Totally faultless tbh and the black pudding at breakfast is to die for, only complaint was that there was only one piece, although I dare say if I'd asked I would have got another bit.

Well kept, new fresh decor, quiet, great staff, great onsite dining. A few resident peacocks and peahens hang out in the courtyard, so charming! So far of the 5 non-chain stays we’ve had in England this one was our favorite! Would love to come back!

good and bad

Room was quite small but adequate and very clean. My husband found the bed hard - I didn't. (2 singles) |The worst aspect was the floodlighting in the car park outside the window. Although there were blackout curtains, the light seeped in round the sides as the curtains could not cover the window...it being a dormer style.
As someone who cares about the environment, I could not understand why so many floodlights where necessary nor why they should still be on after 10 a.m.
Of course it's good that rooms are not heated when empty but it would be useful if instructions as to how to work the system were available.
We didn't have breakfast but the evening meal was lovely

Good comfortable place

Great stay, good food and beer. Only 2 niggles, you can't put the beer or food on your room, and food closes at 8:30pm so be careful not to miss out. You can't get a complete bill on checkout and end up with lot's of seperate receipts. If this was fixed, would be 5 stars for sure.
