The Macdonald Tickled Trout Hotel is one of the most well known hotels in the north-west of England, enhanced no doubt by its rather unusual name. It occupies an eminently convenient and attractive location on the banks of the River Ribble in Lancashire, close to the city of Preston. Its proximity to junction 31 of the M6 (turn off the motorway and you simply can’t miss it) makes the Tickled Trout Hotel Preston easily accessible not only from the Lancashire towns of Blackburn, Bolton and Blackpool, but also puts it within range of Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow and the Lake District. This is reflected in the three-star Tickled Trout Hotel’s diverse range of clientele, a good blend of business and leisure visitors taking advantage of this Preston hotel’s many virtues.

The Tickled Trout Hotel Preston is sheltered from the roar of the traffic and is pleasantly serene, the motorway no more than a gentle whoosh in the background, and once in your room there is no discernable road noise. There are 98 guest rooms at the hotel. Many of the rear-facing rooms feature views over the beautiful setting: step out onto the patio and lawn to the rear of the hotel and you will find a tranquil garden running down to the Ribble.

The Restaurant at the Tickled Trout Hotel Preston is intimately furnished with a deep red décor. The restaurant provides well-loved British favourites, made even more enjoyable by the views over the River Ribble and the ambience, which is reminiscent of a rural retreat. There is also a lounge bar at the Tickled Trout Hotel Lancashire, which carries a menu of light meals and serves drinks late into the evening. It’s not just the location that makes the three-star Preston hotel such a popular choice; the range of event facilities here is excellent. There are 10 function rooms onsite, ranging in capacity from seven to 120 when the four syndicate rooms are considered too. Boardroom functions, theatre presentations and even wedding receptions can be accommodated with ease, complemented by the typical Macdonald attention to detail.
