Ribby Hall

Great hotel, lovely location and very reasonable.
Its close to Wrea Green, Lytham and Preston, just off the M55. Rooms are modern, spacious, well fitted and include ensuites with glass showers, heated floors and soaking tubs. The spa and facilities are superb, the price very reasonable and I loved my stay. Its a place I will go back to every time I get the chance.
Well done.

I have had the pleasure of staying here twice recently, in the Spa Hotel. And what a hotel it is! I was away with work, and on my first visit, somehow I was upgraded to a double suite. Two rooms, and a seperate sitting room! The suite was stunning — luxurious but not disgustingly so — simply modern and comfortable. Beautiful décor, and really clean — just like new. There was a fridge, which was handy, and the heating/​air conditioning was fully controllable via wall panels. The bathroom was epic — large bath and a seperate double shower unit with different shower settings — the rain one and all that. Plus you can get the sound from the tv into the bathroom, which I really like while I’m having a soak. There were also Molton Brown toilletries — very posh.
My room was overlooking the front drive, which includes a duck pond with a variety of ducks, and a fountain. It was exceptionally lovely.
The next time, I was put into a standard room. I wasn’t expecting this to be anywhere as nice as the suite. But it was! Just the same really but with fewer rooms. It had all the same features and was a pleasure to stay in — warm and cosy, I was very comfortable.
The employees are also lovely — I had the same receptionist both times and she advised me of nice routes to go running, and was keen to make sure that my dietary requirements were catered for. This unfortunately is where the hotel let itself down.
I will give it the benefit of the doubt — the chef in the Spa Hotel was off ill, so they were directing customers to one of the other restaurants on site, but I wanted room service as I’d been a run. I’m vegan and wheat free, and the person I spoke to in the other restaurant really did not have a clue. I thought it was easiest to just get a salad and some steamed veg, and specified that I was vegan, and to make sure that there was no butter put on the veg. What did they come with? That’s right, butter! I sent them back and the lovely porter man, even though I said not to bother, was so concerned that I had some veg for dinner, that he sent up some fresh ones, even though I’d said it was really fine. He said he was vegetarian and knew what it was like not to get what you’d asked for. He was just as lovely as the receptionist.
I think if you are a standard eater though, you would like it here, the menu did look lovely. Breakfast was excellent too — I had some little fruit smoothie shooters, lots of fresh fruit, and some porridge made with water, which suited me fine.
I would happily come here on holiday — the hotel is lovely, the employees really focussed on customer service, and the surroundings are beautifully picturesque.
