What a lovely place.
Four of us stayed in the Courtyard double flat for four nights and it was fab. Extremely convenient location for the train station and the city centre, but also for getting in and out of Preston by car. Check-in/out communication from Lisa by email and text was welcoming, extensive and easy follow. The flat was immaculately clean. Very well laid out with great kitchen facilities. Great bathrooms. Very very quiet for our whole stay. I'd happily stay there again.

Disappointed with the overall worn out and in need of repair conditions, in particular the bathrooms
Convenient location. Spacious accommodation, comfy beds, nice linens and toiletries. Bad start with key lock box jammed and requiring significant brute force to open. Dangerous loose stair carpet, tripping hazard between lounge and kitchen (edging strip not held on by Sellotape), mouldy bathrooms and showers (inside and out), leaking shower, broken toilet cistern lid, rusty radiators, outside space was weedy and dirty. Sofa and bar stool stained and in need of cleaning. Floor edging trim bad.
