The rooms were good and the staff were really helpful, however, if you want peace & quiet I strongly recommend that you ask for a room which doesn't overlook the terrace, unfortunately on the last night of our stay, a wedding party was still going strong on the terrace at 12.30am. The other criticism is the chef is very heavy-handed with the salt, most of our meals were inedible, which the waiting staff thought was hilarious

Arrived at reception about 14.40pm, but room not ready so had to wait until 15.20pm. Room was ok but very hot so had to turn of all radiators. Breakfast was very good.

Tired and old fashioned
The property benefits from ample parking and quiet surroundings. The staff in the breakfast room and at the check in where extremely polite. However, the hotel is stuck in the past. From old fashion televisions which probably still utilise ceefax/telefax to old furniture and ancient carpets These things are not that crucial but the heating in the room (which was not on and was extremely cold outside) and soap in the bathroom dispensers were however were not present. Also housekeeping is not longer a service they offer unless requested. So if you want your coffee facility replenished and your bed made in the morning or fresh towels … either go somewhere else or make sure to tell the hotel to do the basic hotel service every morning. None of this "downfalls" are reflected on the price as I paid £99 per night for an executive room ( still wondering what was executive about it other than the space).

Great Georgian architecture. Quite hotel in lovely grounds. Near to city centre and coastal towns. Staff made the hotel, they were welcoming, courteous, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The room was large and bright with a comfortable bed, but could do with updating and was shabby, which let the hotel down.

From Damien checking us in to Paul and Dean in the restaurant,a superb stay in Preston. Dinner in the evening was historic with Paul's unique warmth advising us to try the venison was a wise decision.Rhubarb creme brulé is to be recommended. Breakfast was equally as good with Paul's supervision again. Farington Lodge is a cut above the normal average Preston hotel fayre.Well worth a try.

Great experience but signage to the hotel was terrible! We arrived at night in the rain and our gps took us to the wrong area. Apparently, this happens a lot. I would think the hotel should either address this or put up more signage to direct customers to the hotel entrance.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was generous with good facilities. Hotel has a nice period feel to it and the grounds are lovely. Bed was comfy and I slept well. Cleanliness was okay, a bit of dust in the wardrobe and found a few stray strands of hair on the bathroom floor but bed linen and towels were perfectly fresh and fine. Shower was nice and consistently hot. Breakfast was very good with a traditional Full English, cereals, fruit and juices on offer. It's the staff that really lifts the stay from a good to an excellent one. Thank you.

Overal, a very pleasnt stay. Very friendly, pleasant and helpful staff. My major dislike was that I could hear fans running all night. At time they seemed to speed up, sounding like a small plane getting ready for takeoff Very minor dislikes... Room was a little smaller than expected. Tv was very small But, on the whole, my stay was very pleasnt

Pleasant days away.
We had 3 days there, the staff at reception were very pleasant, as were the bar and dining room staff. One breakfast we ordered scrambled eggs and bacon. One day it was one scrambled egg and one piece of bacon, which I thought was very small for breakfast, the next day 2 eggs scrambled and 2 ra#hers of bacon- no consistantsy.

Previously stayed for 4 nights in September 2022 and both Damien and Paul recognised us. Having a dog (the hotel is dog friendly) meant we had the 5 star treatment with private dining for both dinner and breakfast with service to match. Bedroom quite large but a little austere. Look forward to visiting again if in the locality.

No air conditioning, far to hot in our room, checked out nearly 2 hours before breakfast served as just couldn't stay in the room any longer. Staff were all excellent, rooms clean and tidy and apart from lack of air conditioning would highly recommend.
