Common area a little tired but room was a good size, very clean room and shower room, comfortable bed, iron and board, fan, hairdryer, extra pillows and well stocked tea tray. I ate in the restaurant where there was a quiz going on but still excellent service. Free parking and kids play area, lovely views. Easy to find, on a road that is busy during rush hour but otherwise fairly quiet. Will definitely stay again

Stayed for one night with my 13 year old daughter who had a football tournament near by. Booked cheapest hotel I could find and was pleasantly surprised, the pub area is lovely. The rooms had everything we needed and the beds were like clouds! Only encountered one member of staff and she was great. Would highly recommend

But, the room needed a good paint. Shower needs the mould cleaned off to and the worst part was the mattress

Good food, shame about the fire alarm and quiz.

Food was good, service good also. Lack of spare toilet paper a surprise. After talking about it: an oversight not a policy. Shame also about quiz night. As a man by himself, I would have liked to join in. But the organiser went to the regulars to ask if they wanted to partake, and ignored me. Shame. So went to bed and did not spend money in the bar. Also, in four nights, fire alarm went off on two nights. Get it fixed!
The 'balcony' advertised as being part of the room is an emergency exit and raised table area - shared. Who gets the table first!

Nice stay, just not sure what I was staying in!

Stayed for one night, as had an early morning meeting locally. Long drive so booked this hotel. Hotel is a kind of pub / restaurant / hotel, I am not quite sure if it knows exactly what it is, can it be all 3, maybe? Its a nice enough place, I stayed on a Wednesday evening, so very quiet. People are nice enough, food is excellent but not pub prices, definitely restaurant prices, but then its not pub food, but its in a pub! Bedrooms are fine, no problems, couple of small low cost improvements could be made, but nothing worth downgrading or complaining about. Great nights sleep.

Breakfast is fine, no juice topped up, which was frustrating. I was in a rush so didn't ask, and to be honest I shouldn't really need to.

Paid £80 bed and breakfast in this pub / restaurant / gastropub / hotel / motel* and would certainly stay again.

Cleanliness of room/hotel

This is a lovely Hotel in a quiet country lane, Christine who served breakfast and cleaned our room was absolutely lovely, breakfast was delicious and plenty choice. Felix, who owned the hotel had an unfortunate manner, he never acknowledged us at all, but his wife was charming. The room was a good size, cozy, bathroom had a great walk in shower. The only down side was evening meals were very very pricey. We never ate in the Hotel in the evening, but there were loads of reasonable places around Preston.

Weekend Stay

This was our third stay at the Birley Arms Hotel. On the positive side, the hotel is clean, the room was very comfortable and the staff friendly. Unfortunately, there were some negatives on this visit:- The hotel is under new management and it is evident that they are making some changes, one of which is the menu, I must say that the food was beautifully cooked, however, the selection was all a bit too fancy and my daughter struggled to find something she would eat. Whilst fully understanding that not all the rooms can have a pleasant view over fields, our ground floor view was of the back of the hotel and a large skip piled high with boxes, pots and pans etc. more evidence of the new management having a clear out, maybe some thought should be given to this?? On checking out, there was total confusion over the bill, eventually left, having paid the difference between the bill and what we had already paid via Expedia, only to receive a call when we were a couple of miles away, saying that it was incorrect and requesting that we returned to the hotel. It was sorted out in the end but not ideal.
It is a probability that I will return to the hotel and I'm hoping that these are just teething problems and the new management settle in OK.

romantic stay at the Birley Arms

the hotel executive suite was very comfortable and spacious,clean and welcoming with a large screen tv and two confortable settees.the rolltop bath looked great,but on further inspection it was a plastic version,the walkin shower was also welcoming with a large raindrop type large showerhead,however the water pressure was not strong enough to get the full effect.
as for the pub restaraunt dont be fooled by the menus on the website,they dont exist.breakfast was sufficient,even though there was a queue for the self service 4 slice diy toaster...could possibly do with a rethink there.however having said all that we would return.
