We enjoyed our short stay at the hotel. Though certainly an old building, it felt to be steeped in history and had many features that made it look grand and stately.
The room was comfortable - furniture in keeping with the age of the building - was good enough to sleep in. Decent food and breakfasts
Big shout out for Liam at the Bar - super helpful and friendly to all the people he served! - He typified the cheerfulness of the staff we encountered and I would recommend a stay there. Value for money

The spa treatment a facial and back massage was absolutely amazing, so calming and really helped me with my stress. Had the lovely Annika who was so so sweet and bubbly, and recommended the products that could help me out with my skin, thank you for an amazing experience x

Reception staff member was absolutely lovely upon arrival, the building is fabulous too. And free parking!
However, the windows in our courtyard room were so drafty even when closed a cold breeze came in all night, but more importantly the bathroom door handle is faulty and I was locked in the bathroom!! I understand these things happen but it took over 20 minutes for someone to arrived with a screwdriver.. it was really stressful. The rooms are lovely but definitely need some maintenance.

Easy to find traveling from the north, nice check in and lovely room .
Bar was very expensive and food not cheap either. Henry behind the bar wasn't very clean , his shirt was ripped under his arm and stains on the front not good when serving food and drink .
Food was being delivered from the kitchen and no one was sure who had ordered, was a bit like faulty towers , staff running around with trays of food .
Breakfast was a bit disappointing aswell, for the price it wasn't that good , only 5 warm items for full English and continental wasn't much better only offering around 3 to 4 items . Staff on Breakfast were very nice and chamber maids nice , overall was a nice stay but a bit over priced for what you get .

Very comfortable family room, recently refurbished. Comfortable beds. Bathroom with shower and bath.
Welcoming helpful staff in reception, bar/lounge and housekeeping.
Excellent meal in Bar/Lounge. Served on hot plates - always a plus.
Room and meal represented good value for money.
Would definitley recommend and stay again.
Only minor draw back long walk from reception and other facilities to family rooms but baggage carts available.

We stayed at the Mercure Blackburn Dunkenhalgh Hotel & Spa over the bank holiday weekend and had an absolutely amazing time. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome – everyone was genuinely friendly and helpful, which really set the tone for a relaxing stay.
The hotel itself is stunning, full of character and charm, and the food was honestly to die for. Every meal we had was delicious – beautifully cooked and full of flavour. It really added that extra touch of luxury to our stay.
The spa facilities were lovely and made for a perfect bit of indulgence. The only minor hiccup we experienced was around the spa package – we were told on two separate occasions that our booking didn’t include robes, when in fact it did. Thankfully, the team were able to confirm this with the hotel quickly (only took five minutes), so it wasn’t a big deal, just something that could be improved with a bit better communication between departments.
All in all, we had a brilliant time and wouldn’t hesitate to return. A great place for a relaxing getaway – highly recommended!

Staff were excellent and check in was a breeze even late at night. Room was modern, spacious and had all the usual amenities and furniture. Very comfy bed and clean room. Spa was great in the morning and I almost had it to myself pool is small but big enough. Saunas and steam rooms are great.

Absolutely Beautiful room
Spotless
Staff brilliant (reception and restaurant )
Spa pool and gym was perfect
Breakfast was great
I couldn’t fault anything to be honest
Definitely going visit this hotel again
The hotel looks just as good on the outside as it does on the inside
Room 14 was just bang on for the money
Thank you

We booked this property as a one night stop in the middle of a long journey. We booked because it looked like an old grand house and had onsite parking. We were not expecting anything flash and that was OK for the location and price point. The hotel is old and dated. However our room was spacious, clean with a king bed! What a nice surprise after some decidedly small “double” beds in the UK. Nice bathroom too. Breakfast was adequate, nothing special. All in all the stay was better than anticipated.
