What a gem...

Was sadly only there for 1 night as a place to crash after a nearby wedding. The place was lovely, the staff couldn't of been any kinder and accommodating. Breakfast was lovely. Would drive the 6hrs to come back for a few days stay for sure.

April stay

This is the first time I’ve stayed at The Bluebird Inn. It was a first class stay, well-deserved, thanks to the staff, who are friendly and welcoming. The rooms are excellent, and the overall vibe of the hotel is perfect. I’ll definitely be back. Plus the breakfast and meal on the evening was amazing

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.

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.

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.
