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.

Consistently good

Consistently good. The food isn't gourmet but it's not trying to be. The food is wholesome and always extremely hot (beware!). The rooms are an excellent size, nice bathroom and well serviced.

When i enrered the oub, the lady was serving soneo e drinks, she said she would be with me next at the recpetion area.

I ordered the mix grill, the ham was over salty, the chicken burned, steak ok but small, sauage awful and frozen chips! Room had narks on the wall that had been there sonce our last stay 8 months ago! Glass in the room was dirty and so was the sink. I will not be staying again!

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.

Excellent

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.

Pretty good, would use again.

Really nice place. Big pub/restaurant with rooms attached - modern chain pub style. Room very clean and well presented. 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.
