Find Family-Friendly Hotels in Much Hoole, Preston

"We spent the weekend there. Our first visit. Longtime Blackpool visitors and decided we needed a change from our usual haunt of the past 20 years. A large north shore older hotel but the basement pool facility is now closed. Our 10 years old granddaughter likes a pool. Quite pleased with the Doric. Plus points: Very good & friendly staff & plenty of them. Nice cooked breakfast with other options available in a nice waitress services dining room. The dining room also doubles up as the entertainment venue in the evening and there is bingo and some good quality singers on too. Room was clean and fresh bedding on the two beds. Medium points: Basement leisure area has a fairly small 3 foot deep pool and a small ‘hot tub’. A steam room that doesn’t look like it’s working and no sign of the advertised sauna. Parking is not plentiful. We arrived at 4.10pm and just managed to get a spot down the side of the hotel. Which is tight and relies on you leaving your keys at reception so they can move cars in and out if needed. To be fair. Nothing moved over the weekend. Not great: The room was hot / without any heating on. Room & bathroom windows were opened by us and didn’t make much difference till well after midnight, so was a little uncomfortable. There was a fan available in the wardrobe, which would have been a toss up between the fan noise and the heat… Bath taps quite old and hard to turn on & off. Would stay again. Hoping for a better room next time. We had #59"

"Have stayed here a few times before but first time in a single room and never again. Room I could cope with just, although for a decent size person toilet squeezed in tightly by shower so no room for a proper sit down. Added to this there were a few rooms on corridor given to a group of young revellers. Fine if consideration shown for others but no, 4.30a.m wake up calls for all as they came in but then proceeded to keep on moving between rooms loudly not helped by the fire door on the corridor between their rooms slamming loudly every time outside my door. Had words with hotel but told they,ve been warned every night they,ve been there and told to quieten down. Some people need sterner action though ! Positives are rooms are cheap in advance and nice sea views from some of the other rooms and near tram stop."

"Room wasn’t the cleanest"

"Yes"

"Had a really lovely stay for two days as we were going to a couple of shows. Breakfast was excellent with plenty to eat and good variety of food. Some good bar foods available too. Clean room and bathroom, but could have done with some dusting on lamps and shelves. Staff were really good and helpful. We found the hotel charming and a real lovely old feel to it and the prices were reasonable. Thank you for a lovely stay."

"Swimming pools and sauna rooms are excellent. Room was very clean and spacious with all facilities available"

"Bathroom was not pleasant I didn't use the shower for this reason, mouldy around the fixtures and dusty. Room smelt nice upon arrival but dust and cobwebs hanging down from the ceilings. The kids sofa bed was so hard I got another duvet for them so sleep on top of. Main bedroom was ok. Breakfast was ok nothing special, had to ask for bowls as none were out and we were first down. Parking good plenty of spaces, but when leaving around 7:30 to pop to the petrol station a pair of men's worn boxers were laid in the car park. Swimming was the main reason we booked for the children. Wouldn't stay again unfortunately. Hotel is tired worn and in dire need of a make over. "

"Great breakfast. Swimming pool open at 6am and breakfast at 6:30am. Nice for those who plan early weak up"

"Couldn’t fault the hotel "
