We had our wedding ceremony and reception here at the begining of April. What a fantastic hotel/wedding venue it is! From start to finish the day went so smoothly and everything was just perfect. The wedding breakfast food was exceptional and all of our guests commented on this! I cannot thank the staff enough, for such great organisation of the day. The rooms were set up so beautifully and the hotel grounds are well kept, neat and tidy. The hotel rooms were immaculate, spacious and very well presented. The breakfast included was lovely offering a variety of hot/cold foods. All the way through our wedding journey members of staff were on hand to answer any questions/queries and were very happy to help! Overall this venue is amazing and I would highly reccomend.
Whilst staying at the hotel alone I’d friends along the road with other friends staying. I’ve been to the hotel before and always had an excellent night’s sleep in the extremely comfortable rooms before being looked after in the morning for tea or coffee then helped myself to the extensive and excellent quality breakfast The staff are a good crowd and ensure that if, as I suspect happens most Fridays there’s a wedding, you’re tucked away at a distance from any racket which shows that the hotel actively considers the comfort of each guest. There’s loads of parking outside and the hotel is dead easy to find and has the easiest motorway access that you’ll find One small gripe is that the ‘fitness suite’ is shut on the weekends but that doesn’t detract from the stay in the least
Hotel rooms were very comfy and clean. Plenty of fresh towels. We booked all rooms for a family wedding at Meols Hall. The cleaners were fab. Tidying rooms after bride and bridesmaids got ready. Staff were friendly and helpful providing us with a free bottle of fizz the morning of the wedding. We would stay again.
The hotel is not really in Chorley, being located to the south west and some distance, from Chorley. It is situated on a motorway service area which is only accessible from the northbound M6. Exit is onto the northbound M6 too. This means that you have a rather long trek along the motorway if you are intending to access local amenities - or CHORLEY. It's fine as a stopover if you are actually travelling north on the M6. The hotel required more information at check-in the most do these days and they insist on you registering a debit/credit card at reception for a room deposit. No money is taken unless you damage something but they have carte blanche to take money and argue with you later should they so choose. Very few (none in my recent experience) hotels take such measures these days. In the era of fraud and identity theft it is never ideal to hand over information of any kind.
The room was very comfortable and well appointed but the shower was very slippery. There were notices in the bathroom but some effort to make the bathroom less hazardous would be more useful.
Overall there are better alternatives locally that do not require card details and are much easier to get to by car, and indeed public transport or cycle. Go elsewhere for the same standard of accomodation without the hassle.
Gorgeous hotel, lovely vibe in and around. Great service, caring staff, tasty food - good breakfast & fantastic carvery - highly recommend a stay here. We had a day in Liverpool & also a day out to Blackpool - Southport is in the middle of both and around 50 minute drive each way but also enjoyed the beach & pier in Southport.
