Great place to stay
Just stayed for one night and wished we were staying longer. The Bluebird Inn is very easy to find and there's plenty of parking spaces. The property looks really nice from outside and is so much better inside. Lovely bar area and this is where you check in. Our room was really nice. Nice and warm, bed was comfy and the shower area was roomy as well. Excellent evening meal and the breakfast was one of the best we've ever had.Lovely and clean, friendly staff and a very well run establishment. We'll definitely be going back to such a nice, relaxing hotel. Perfect.

Pretty good, would use again.
Really nice place. Big pub/restaurant with rooms attached - modern chain pub style. Room very clean and well presented. Location not the nicest being off a main road with large industrial units in the vicinity but fine for a quick stop over. Major downside for me was that the restaurant stopped serving food at 8pm which was quite strange.

Excellent
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.

Poor
The hotel facilities were zero. Poor Wifi, No Television coverage. Only saving Grace was superb breakfast but over priced. The hotel is nowhere near worth the price paid to stay the night. i would not recommend for a business traveller.
