The whole place is very tired and needs updating. Bedding/towels were clean but the room was diappointing. Very uncomfortable bed. We stand 2 nights and there was no cleaning/ emptying of bins or restocking tea making products. We ate out at a local pub rather than onsite as recommended by receptionist. We were going to the British Open so did not stay in the local area during the day.

Ideally located for places like Blackpool, Manchester, Liverpool and the Lake District with all the various motorway connections. Went to visit family and for a family birthday so used a local taxi firm (called Coopers) to get us about during the evening. After asking a price when booking the first journey and being quoted £9.00 not one of our four trips were the same fare and everything was on the meter including waiting time at the numerous traffic lights that seem to be there. Got the impression that as we were "southerners" the drivers would take any route and charged whatever they liked. Ate at the Best Western Hotel on our 1st night (Friday) and booked a table which wasn't required as there were only 3 other couples dining in a restaurant that could easily cater for 100+. Overall the meal wasn't that good and why it took nearly 20 minutes to serve a cheese board is beyond me.

There were a lot of places to visit in the area but you would need transport to get around. It is easy to get to major towns and about an hour to Blackpool. There was an excellent carvery just down the road to the motel and has local pubs nearby. Great place to walk as there is a lake area where you can explore

Although a family celebration was the reason we stayed at Chorley we found time for a visit to Astley Hall and was taken by its splendour and setting in a beautiful park. The Market is always worth a visit and on this stay we discovered the delights of a Micro Brewery outlet (Pub)

Decided to spend £10 more to stay here than in the alternative Travelodge because we assumed "Days Inn" would be nicer and more comfortable. Officially the most annoying and awkward place to find and get in to! Sat Nav had no joy and no signs into the hotel. Turned out they expect you to drive through two "NO ACCESS" roads which say in very large letters "FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES ONLY". In small print underneath it says 'and hotel access'- but still not the biggest welcome. Arrived at 1am very tired so thought we'd have no trouble sleeping. Very wrong. Room was extremely hot and muggy, smelt very musty like it hadn't been stayed in for a while. The bath had mould and mildew on and there were quite a few cobwebs around. When we arrived onto the landing, the 'emergency fire door' had been left propped open (assuming because it was a hot night) but these led out to a steep set of metal steps straight down into pitch black woodland. Didn't feel very safe considering we had our 18 month old with us. The hot water taps were absolutely scalding hot, obviously no thermostat which I assumed would be a legal requirement. Couldn't wait to get out.
