Best Western Plus Lancashire Manor Hotel

We had one Friday night at the Lancashire Manor Hotel in a junior suite. It was a decent stay but I won’t rush back just yet. Some things about the logistics and layout bother me. It is fairly easy to find and there is parking although I suspect if a wedding is on that might get stretched a bit. We were driving up rom London and the M25/M6 were in their horrendous moods so it took 6 hours and 45 minutes. We tried to ring the hotel to make sure we were coming but it took three attempts to get an answer. When you’re getting annoyed in queues that did not help. Once there check in was smooth. All staff in open areas wore masks, there were glass screens around the bar and reception. The bar area is low, smallish and cosy. You can imagine it as a warm place to sit on a cold winter’s day. That is possibly the biggest problem with the hotel. To get to the rooms and restaurant you have to pass through the bar. If it’s crowded you are tight up with people – and as this is still Covid times that can make people uncomfortable. There are doors available that would allow passage outside and avoid this but they were not used – security perhaps? I’m not sure and probably not practical on cold wet days. Even with non-Covid when we left, we were carrying our luggage out through a wedding party enjoying the bar, so inconvenient for both. The room was large, comfortable, large bed, sofa, small TV wall mounted meaning you had to move the sofa to watch. It has a step-in bath/shower which is old school now and personally I hate. The most annoying thing was a ceiling lampshade that was bigger than the table. Six feet and above you are banging your head on it or having to duck to cross the room. I am not sure who designed it but get the money back! Impractical and unattractive. Overall it was an ok stay and there’s effort put into Covid safety, but the logistics of getting to the rooms are a problem unless you want to get your step count up and don’t mind negotiating the bar. less

Fabulous venue for our wedding. The great Hall is an excellent choice and all of our guests were overwhelmed with the room, the BBQ food and the professional staff. Big thanks to Gill, who was amazing at talking us through the planning and her attention to detail was very much appreciated. Duty managers (Big Kevin and little Kevion) who looked after the smooth running of the event. Resident DJ - Tony Macaroni Lee - who played the music we requested and tailored the rest to suit the guests. The hotel rooms are fabulous, opulent, roomy and very comfortable. Breakfasts also of a high standard. All in all, my new wife and myself felt warmly welcomed and would recommend the Lancashire Manor to anyone looking for a wedding venue that adds a special atmosphere for their big day. less

Nice & clean hotel. Beds comfy but red hot in the rooms maybe a fan in the wardrobe would be ideal. Staff welcome to guests beautiful gardens. Breakfast really nice. My room.was near a main road so heard all lorrys ect but probably due to having window open with the heat. less

My partner and I attended a wedding at The Lancashire Manor and everything was fabulous! The wedding food and service was great, the room was gorgeous and there was nothing more that the staff could do. The room we stayed in was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was great!! Would definitely stay again less

We attended a wedding at the hotel and the facilities and staff were very helpful. Very comfortable room and sitting areas in the hotel. Food was good and tasty. Lovely walk in the grounds next day. Can recommend. less
