We have had a lovely stay at this historic hotel.Parking charges have been suspended (what hotel charges patrons to park anyway?)Check in was faultless. The room was massive with all you could want with robes ,coffee machine,lovely bed and massive tv.Evening meal was very nice.Attentive staff and plenty of choice..the only real problem of the day was the quality of the wine.In 2022 if you are staying at a hotel saying its 4 star you should be able to confidently say "a glass of the house white please"then you get charged £6.50 which is ok for that kind of venue but as soon as you taste the utter rubbish they are serving that's all you remember of your stay...not the courteous waiters..not the crenalations on the walls..not the lovely miles wide bed....just the bloody awful over priced spanish table wine that you are ripping people off with.Its not necessary.

Fab night stay! We had a great time. Check in was very easy with helpful reception team and dinner with good staff. Nice relaxing weekend. Went out for the day but we had breakfast the next day which was lovely. Overall I highly recommend staying at this hotel

First visit and our first impressions were good. Warm welcome and friendly check in. Plenty of free parking and hotel has lovely grounds.
Our room was very modern and had everything, toiletries, fluffy towels, large tv, tea, coffee etc.
The SPA was good, but unfortunately the sauna was out of action. Plenty of loungers around the pool and there is a comfortable seating area in the SPA reception.
The highlight of this hotel is the variety and quality of food in the restaurant. The service provided by Krishna and Sara was exceptional. a HUGE well done! The dining area had lovely decor and a nice ambience.
However, the breakfast was a little bit disappointing compared to the standard of the evening meal.
The eggs were over cooked, there was no selection of hams or cheeses. The black pudding wasn’t particularly good. It might be a better experience if the hot breakfast was cooked to order.
We had a small issue with our room, but this was quickly resolved by Emily in reception.
All in all a nice hotel, with friendly staff, and we had an enjoyable stay.

The hotel was easy to find and there is ample parking.
When we arrived at reception there was a wedding party that were very excited and making lots of noise. I really couldn't hear and so Emily stepped outside with me to take my details.
The group cleared and both Emily and Victoria were fabulous. They really did go the extra mile. They also set a high standard for other staff to match.
Staff really do excel in the hotel. Joseph in the restaurant maintained the high standard and we were served by Kyle who was so pleasant and smiling.
A lot of hotels could learn from the fabulous staff that are here.
Our room was large and it served it's purpose. Unfortunately, it didn't give me anything to think 'wow'. My wife had some issues with the bed linen and this was dealt with very efficiently by the staff.
We ate in the restaurant and service was outstanding.
There is a spa and a swimming pool. It is worth checking beforehand if there are any classes on if you want to use the pool.

The event was wonderful, the room was amazing. What made the do was Edwina, her management and people skills are amazing. It made the night run so smoothly.
I cannot thank her enough, she is a great asset to this hotel.
The food was brilliant, not just the function 4 course meal, but the breakfast, and the evening meal was superb.
The function rooms in the hotel were fab, our hotel room was not that great. No hot water in the sink for the last day of our trip, but the shower was fine.
That part of the hotel looked tired and in need of some tlc, but the reception, the grounds, the spa facilites and pool are amazing and made up for the room.

I booked this lovely hotel through a deal with my hotel break.com which was great value. It was my wife’s birthday & I arranged to have wine& chocolates put in the room, I also paid a little extra to upgrade to a privalage room. The wine & chocolates were good quality and the room was excellent, clean spacious with a lovely bed . The staff in this hotel are absolutely amazing, everyone of them are kind and can’t do enough for you from reception, restaurant bar and cleaners.the evening meal and breakfast were very good with plenty of choice. I can definitely recommend this hotel and will return again when in the area, Thankyou for making my wife’s surprise birthday such a wonderful visit

Lovely place, beautiful building, nice swimming pool and really friendly , helpful staff. My rating was down as food wasn’t great. We were on two days conference , lunch was average but bbq was not eatable . Burgers tasted like a paper , chips were cold. Also on the upper floors rooms had a bit dumpy smell and some dump on the ceilings. Generally, With some improvements place has a lots of potential so fingers crossed.

We enjoyed a pleasant two night break here in this lovely historic hotel set in mature well kept grounds. It is very convenient for the M65 motorway at junction 7 and is only 10 minutes or so from Blackburn. We had a courtyard room which had been modernised fairly recently and it was of a good size and equipped as you would expect. Linens were new and the bed was very comfortable. We would be happy to stay here again.
