Overnight stay for a wedding guest.

Friendly and organised reception team, clean and tidy hotel room, plenty large enough for what I needed. Very comfortable bed and well-kept bathroom. Great view of the woodland are from the window too. Quiet surroundings, easy to find and good facilities in the area.

First room we were given had mould on walls and ceiling in bathroom and smelly damp and mouldy. Not very pleasant nights sleep! Staff were helpful in giving us a new room for the remainder of stay. Bar staff ‘Jay Jay’ very polite and helpful during our visit to the bar area.

It's hard to say much as we checked in late and checked out early following morning. The receptionist was friendly, no hustle checking in. The room was hoovered and dust free. The bath had a big chip. That didn't affect us with having a shower. Overall, we were happy with the room and the price we paid.

Pity about the food next door

Hotel was fine but basic. The only real problem was the food served at the Hungry Horse next door. After a 40 minute wait for a baguette sandwich I was served with a still parbaked cold baguette. When I complained I was offered a replacement but I didnt have the time. So I just had to put up woth a “sorry”

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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

The property is on the outskirts of Preston City Centre with easy access off and to the motorway. The family room was well laid out, comfortable and clean. There was no cooling in the room (Summer) and a medium thick duvet which is not conducive to a great nights sleep but overall, a good stay.the only negative comment. Iwe had a good overnight stay.

We liked our stay both times ,the reception lady is very helpful and pleasant. The room very clean and comfortable . Tea and coffee sachets etc refilled daily ,and the place smelt fresh and clean . My only slight down comment is the rooms are looking a bit tired in places . Otherwise an excellent place to stop for a couple of nights while visiting friends up north . The restaurant serves excellent breakfasts at reasonable prices ,and we will be happy to stay again in the future.

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.

We have had a wonderful stay at LeaGate and the Staff in the hotel were all fantastic. Jane Morgan one of the Receptionists was so kind and went out of her way to help us as we are disabled. She even carried our luggage to our room for us. We would definitely recommend this hotel. Sylvia & Colin Fosberry
