The Bluebird Inn at Samlesbury

Easy parking, welcoming and friendly. Comfiest bed I’ve slept in for years, clean and modern shower/toilet; excellent breakfast and dinner, overall good ambience. Would choose to return.

Stayed here for past few years over Christmas as convenient location to relatives. Everything looks a little tired now and in need of a decent deep clean. The corridors in particular did not smell clean. Unfortunately the main problem was no hot water. Tried to report at 10:30pm, stated they closed at 11pm but bar area etc all in darkness and no staff. Tried the 24/7 emergency number - no answer. Reported next day to staff who said they would send someone to room whilst we were out and if not able to sort could change room. Got back late from Christmas Day, having not heard from anyone to find still no hot water. Bar all closed again. When checking out the following day informed staff again who said they knew nothing about it.

This is the "go to" hotel near Preston and I almost regret putting this review on, in case someone reads it. Why? Because rooms are limited and as it is, I have to book several weeks in advance

Nice place to stay. Great service and the food was excellent. Very comfortable and clean room. Only observation was that the floorboards above room 2 are very creeky and can become quite tiresome if you want uninterrupted sleep.

Would recommend a stay here. If in the area again we would book this hotel. Spotlessly clean. Nicely furnished spacious rooms. Good breakfast.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Really good locally produced food. Good selection of real ales. Comfortable beds. Great nights sleep Nice outside space to relax, chat and have a drink

This is a very comfortable hotel, it was perfect for us as a base. Our room was spotlessly clean and so cosy. We ate in the hotel both nights, once in the bar and the second night in the restaurant. Both times the service was excellent and the food very tasty. One afternoon we sat outside on the terrace and one of the local peacocks came to say hello. The staff were efficient and friendly. I would definitely return to the Bluebird Inn.

Lovely one night stay. Friendly staff, lovely breakfast and really tasteful decor. Would definitely like to stay again.

Great service, good vegan food options ( we had dinner and breakfast), very clean and comfortable. Would recommend.
