Whitburn House Hotel is a small, family-run bed and breakfast operating out of an old Victorian house on Garstang Road. Mainly acting as a practical budget base for visitors to Preston-such as those coming to watch a match at Deepdale Stadium or calling in at the Royal Preston Hospital-it offers something different from all the city center's new chain hotels: personal service in what can best be described as an "old-school" guesthouse atmosphere. Whitburn House caters largely to contractors, bargain road trippers, and football fans looking for someplace clean with easy parking where they can crash for the night. There are still some lovely original features left inside this totally unpretentious functional over-fashionable modern luxury place.

Overview - The Whitburn Hotel

  • ✓ The hotel is excellently located for football fans, being just a short walking distance of less than ten minutes from Deepdale Stadium (home of Preston North End).
  • ✓ Free private parking at the rear of the property- massive bonus in a city where parking is either difficult or expensive, as soon as available.
  • ✓ Frequently praised both for quality and portion size, this cooked-to-order breakfast gives a real "Full English" start to the day.
  • ✓ It is located just opposite Moor Park, a large green area and space perfectly suited for morning jogs or any casual walk.
  • ✓ Described as friendly, warm, and hospitable humans who are more than willing to go out of their way to ensure local directions are duly noted.
  • × The place is old. The carpet and furniture speak volumes of an era long past. They are threadbare.
  • × Cheaper rooms upstairs share bathroom facilities with several other bathrooms down the hallway-a detail you may not have noticed when booking if this was your room of preference.
  • × In some far rooms at another end from where a router has been installed, Wi-Fi works inconsistently well enough for streaming or video calls to become annoyingly frustrating.

Review Breakdown - The Whitburn Hotel

  • Price vs Quality Consistently good on price. One of the cheapest reliable places in Preston with parking, among all competing and comparable options.
  • Staff Performance Very friendly. Family ownership vibe means you get a warmer welcome here than at some generic Travelodge.
  • Location Quality 4/5 for specific needs (football/hospital), though it is a bit of a walk (20-25 mins) to the main high street shops.
  • Surroundings Located on a bustling main road, great for those who prefer to drive everywhere. Not exactly the kind of quiet country location one would fall in love with.
  • Cleanliness Clean on the surface, good cleaning staff. The carpets are old enough to make the rooms feel less fresh than new hotels.
  • Breakfast Quality Solid and satisfying. The breakfast is a highlight and adds significant value to the stay.
