Longridge House

The hotel is set in lovely grounds and the premises are thoughtfully decorated, we found our room to be on the small side and rather cramped. Staff were often absent from where you would expect them to be. For instance we found the bar to be unattended.1

We arrived and there is no reception There seemed to be some sort of event on so we walked around for five minutes until we were told you sit in a sofa and wait for the manager to check you in. Check in took approx 10 mins due to the manager dealing with some unhappy guests. Not hit fault but odd no reception for such a big place The room was small but lovely, there was no shower gel though so worth taking some. The most disappointing part was the breakfast, we had opted not to include it when we booked but our friends who live locally said they would come join us. We booked a table but no table was set up for us on arrival. The buffet had pretty much ran out and we waited a good ten mins before anyone offered us a drink or to order breakfast from the menu. The coffee machine was broken so only americanos on offer, when asking for hot milk the lady jokingly said only if you want it microwaved The eggs and salmon came without toast so we then waited ten mins for toast so the food was cold The avacado on toast was actually on bread and was very soggy In the time we were sat there bearing in mind there were only 2 other tables everything was very slow We got the bill at £25 per person but I questioned this as we had stayed and it said £16 per person for those staying but apparently that’s only if you book it with the stay, disappointing they didn’t tell us The whole room was covered in flies and dirty glasses all outside from day before For a stay that cost us £185 very bad
