Hi girlies,
asked around at work apparently the travel lodge @ christie fields is meant to be good but cheap

it's a shortish walk from head over heels or a 10 minute drive, has a good table table pub / restaurant next door which is baby friendly. Should be easy to get to from the motorway or is on bus route or £10/12 ish in taxi from train station
There is also a hotel at lancashire county cricket ground, there's not a great deal going on in the immediate area but it's easy to get to from the motorway and better for anyone getting the train as there a tram stop at the side entrance. It's probably the same distance from head over heels

I'll keep looking for any better deals though
