We had an excellent experience from the moment we checked in - premier football players sitting on the terrace! Great service, fabulous room, excellent breakfast and a lovely setting. I would definitely recommend for a romantic getaway. more

couldn't fault any bit of our 2 night stay at the Stanley from the moment we got out of the car to checking out, staff were very good and helpful. Room was absolutely fabulous, very comfortable bed, bathroom was excellent. Breakfast was very tasty. Evening meal was top notch. if your going to this part of the country you need... more

You don’t even have to stay at the Stanley hotel to be billed by them. I received a phone call for an outstanding balance of £195 despite having stayed in the hotel. When I queried this and expressed my concerns that any payment would have been fraudulent I was laughed at, when I asked the name of the women speaking... more

There isn't very much more we can add to some excellent previous reviews of this hotel in terms of location, decor and general ambience. It is stunning. The location is beautiful as it is set on a hilltop so when the sun is shining you get some magnificent views. The gardens are immaculate and well maintained - we can see... more

Just returned from an excellent stay at Stanley House. It came highly recommended from a friend who had attended a conference and we were not disappointed.

The hotel is beautifully situated and, as other reviewers point out, its decor is fashionable, interesting and classy. The rooms are huge and the staff very friendly.... more

My stay at Stanley House was perfect and it could not have been improved in any way, shape or form. I particularly liked Mr Fred's Bar, the staff looked very professional (and vaguely resembled Jimmy Carr which i liked) and had a very detailed knowledge of the menu - especially the wines. A truly wonderful hotel, i will definitely stay... more

My wife and I have stayed numerous times at the Stanley House and have got to know the staff members/management reasonably well. On our last stay (2nd October 2007) we were informed of a new general manager starting. Naturally we were keen on meeting the man who was stepping into such big shoes. Within minutes we realised the new manager... more

Really excellent find and is our first choice for a local getaway, certainly the best boutique hotel in Lancashire. We stayed mid week in April to celebrate a birthday and have returned on numerous occassions for lunch and have also booked in for Christmas day. The design of the hotel is fantastic eclectic mix of materials and colours which all... more
