The hotel is conveniently located off the M6 junction 31, perfect for a stopover during a long car journey with young kids. The rooms are a bit dated and lack proper ventilation, making for an uncomfortable night despite the provided fan. The service is friendly but slightly understaffed, leading to delays in clearing tables. The location offers enchanting views of the Ribble river but can be noisy due to the nearby motorway. The dining experience was marred by discrepancies in pricing, with delays in serving orders. Overall, the hotel has potential but needs some improvements for a more satisfying stay.
