Farington Lodge Hotel in South Ribble

A beautiful hotel with fantastic staff.

We had a lovely overnight stay at Farington Lodge Hotel - the food, service and the hotel itself exceeded our expectations. Very dog friendly.

Good place to stay. Comfortable rooms, good food and friendly, helpful and courteous staff. Have stayed here several times and will be staying again when I am in the area.

We booked The Farington Lodge for the night our son and his wife got married as a present for them. They both said how amazing it was, so we thought we'd give it a try ourselves. It didn't disappoint. We only booked one night(a Saturday) but could have stayed more. The hotel was fully booked as there was a murder mystery night taking place. I was a little worried about this, thinking it may be a little noisy, especially when guests were retiring to their rooms at the end of the evening. But it wasn't. I had the best night sleep. It's such a quiet hotel.The location, rooms, staff, food and value for money were all amazing. There was one gentleman in particular,( we didn't get his name,an older gentleman) who looked after us at dinner , he was really good. He was so attentive without being intrusive . He really looked after us. Thank you so much, we will definitely be back

Two nights stay service first class. Dinner good choice of meals and wine. Damion and Paul as usual polite and very professional nothing at all a bother. First class. Looking forward to a return later this year.

Went to evening wedding reception

Nice classy building. A nice change from boring Travelodge. Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Great value. Plenty of parking. What's not to like?

I'm writing this on behalf of partner Nick Fulcher. We stayed here 233rd and 24th Sept 2024. Hotel needs a bit of TLC. Staff were friendly and helpful however. Josh, restaurant manager (I think) was very good. Bedroom was good with nice view of garden and wildlife. But was really quite chilly. Heating hadn't been turned on yet. Bathroom was warm as it had a heated towel rail! Felt a little unsafe getting in and out of bath/shower as nothing to hold on to! But still think hotel deserved 4* as the staff made us feel comfortable there.

Came here for a work function but didn't stay over. The room was just right for us and we had some food on. The staff were lovely and couldn't do enough for us. I can't score the room in terms of staying over so gave a 3 out of 5 to be fair. The road outsides busy but the Lodge is set back away and you don't even notice once your within the grounds. The setting is really nice I was just commenting on how it would be good for a wedding venue when I walked past a room setup for a wedding!

Lovely surroundings. Service attentive, spot on. Room nice but very plain and was very dark, with poor net curtains and immovable standard curtains.

Excellent food, staff and surroundings.

A lovely welcome from the staff on reception, very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfy also quite. The food was good and plenty of it ,again friendly staff that made you feel welcome. All in all a very delightful stay

Food and service is great. Everyone is really warm smiling and welcoming But rooms, bathrooms and restrooms could really use a bit of care and love.

Good DBB break room great service food very good. Good location not far off motorway, bus stops at the entrance and Leyland Station 10 min walk. Attentive staff

We held our daughter's wedding reception at Farington Lodge and could not have been happier with the whole planning process and the day itself. The staff were always helpful, cheerful and welcoming. Jennifer Crewe, the wedding coordinator, was always quick to respond to enquiries, and her expertise helped us to plan the perfect day. Everybody at the reception commented on the beautiful location, the friendly staff and the fantastic and abundant food. The room (the Jubilee Suite), looked fabulous and the facilities were all great. The photographer and his partner were well looked after, and loved the location for picture opportunities. Importantly, the Bride and Groom were completely happy with their big day, so we would not hesitate to recommend Farington Lodge as a wedding venue.

What a delightful place to stay . The rooms are meticulously cleaned . The staff is friendly and accommodating. Cannot say enough good things about the staff the food is fabulous. Highly recommend this hotel

Five stars all round, a lovely hotel, beautiful gardens and the squirrels were entertaining(although difficult to photograph!) Breakfast was tasty and plentiful and the young waiting staff very helpful. The bedroom was very spacious and the bed comfortable. The hotel is easily accessible from the motorway but the environment is quiet and peaceful. We had an enjoyable 4 days at the hotel and would recommend.

I stayed here for 2 nights recently, while revisiting my hometown. My room was large and comfortable (though a little smelly when I first arrived - drains ?) and the staff were attentive and friendly. I only ate breakfast here, which was very good for the price. However the breakfast service ends at 08:30 Mon - Fri - which is far too early in my opinion - as the assumption is that everyone is there on business midweek. I was not working and neither were many of the other guests. This is more of a "leisure" hotel than a business hotel, and so guests should be able to enjoy a "leisurely" (i.e. later) breakfast - at least until 09:30am ! The grounds are lovely and the main hotel quite grand, though now rather tired and in need of a refresh. All in all it is very good value for money. I was disappointed however by the rather basic amenities provided in the room e.g. one, wall-fixed, "all-in" soap dispenser for face, body and hair; one plastic glass; only two towels and no face cloth; thief-proof hangers; and windows that cannot be fully opened (for "health & safety reasons" i.e. to prevent pilfering !) I understand this is a deliberate choice by the owners in order to keep costs and therefore room rates down, and they haven't raised their prices for a while. This is admirable but the very basic amenities are not in keeping with the style and grandeur of the hotel and its' grounds - it is not a Premier Inn ! I, and I'm sure most others, would be happy to pay a little more in order to cover the costs of these small 'luxuries'. An extra £5 - £10 per night would easily cover the costs of these items, likely improve profits for the company, and make for a more enjoyable stay for all guests.

Very comfortable room with excellent space for us and our small spaniel. Good facilities and able to take the dog with us to breakfast - in a separated dining area. Would certainly stay again.

Only downside drinks very expensive

Stayed here for business a lot. Quiet with Friendly atmosphere.

Nice and serene environment. Friendly staff.

Fantastic afternoon tea . Friendly staff . And food was excellent fresh sandwiches 🥪 . And very naughty but nice Cakes 🎂.

Had a great time, staff were very attentive and food was great to

Stay for 3 nights this BH weekend due to supporting a 2 day BBQ festival 15 mins away from the hotel. A really lovely building and some original features inside. From arriving and departing the team were so welcoming…. made sure you had everything you needed and are a real credit that should be praised. The breakfast area was superb, freshly baked pastries, fruit, yoghurt and cereal. Great choice on the menu, obviously both mornings I chose the traditional full English which was superb. I stayed in room 22 , lovely and spacious, a couple of good sized arm chairs, comfy bed and a good bathroom area. Highly recommended…. Well done all. Thanks and see you again.

Beautiful location, wonderful service, nice relaxing lounge bar pre meal and drinks, we went for friday lunch, easy job for the chef as we all had mixed grille, the steak was not over cooked and generous. garnish fresh.Similar prices to pub so treat yourself!!

Can't say about the rooms as we didn't stay here, we just attended a wedding reception. Staff very friendly, the buffet was good. The drinks are expensive. Looked lovely inside

I went for Lunch on Sunday with my parents. The food was excellent as was the service. The staff couldn’t do enough to help and were extremely accommodating.

We had a lovely family funeral wake with great food drinks and service

Couldn't recommend the experience enough. Can only hope my next hotel stay is half as joyful

The lodge was very conveniently located just off the M6. The room,executive double, was more than big enough with good storage and a lovely bathroom. The bar area was great and had a decent choice of drinks. Even though the hotel had a wedding on, they accommodated our small group in a quiet room for dinner and it was excellent. What made the whole stay was the staff. They were friendly and efficient, nothing was too much trouble. It was really nice to see a predominately young staff who appeared to enjoy their work and this came across in the experience we had.

Had a deluxe afternoon Tea, and it was amazing. Can't wait to go back for another one! Staff were lovely. Attentive without being overbearing.

i didn't go there to stay.i went for a consultation. i was only there for half an hour.

First time stay, didn't know what to expect but blown away. Room was spacious and actually had the same number of seats for the number of quests, no need to sit awkwardly on the bed. Space enough to still play with the pooch. Staff were fantastic and went above and beyond to help us and spoilt our daughter, granddaughter and the dog.

I stayed at the lodge recently for a 2 night visit. I was greeted with a warm welcome and the room was immaculately clean and comfortable. The room was a good size, but the bathroom was huge. And I had a room key. An actual key. It was great as I could leave a device on charge while I was out. Such a novelty these days! The facilities were all appropriate for the venue - not too modern, but also not lacking anything you’d expect from a nice hotel. The breakfast was stunning. Fresh hot pastries, and locally sourced bacon, sausage left me rather full but very happy. All the staff were excellent - even the night porter was extremely friendly!!

Nice and friendly staff. Environment is well kept, spacious in a good location . Afternoon tea room had a variety of tea and sandwiches to pick from. Lovely
