I attended with a friend for a spa day and it was great from start to finish. The staff in the spa and the hotel restaurant were lovely and attentive. The treatments were amazing, and Sarah was wonderful. She tailored my treatment to my needs, and she has magic hands! Will definitely be returning, and will be requesting Sarah again for future treatments during visits. 10/10 recommend.

Booked via Buyagift, our package included full spa access, thermal suite, treatments, lunch, and gym time. Staff were exceptional — especially Demi, who handled our booking with professionalism and care. My therapist, Sara C., carried out both my facial and massage treatments with warmth and empathy, creating a truly calming atmosphere.
Facilities were clean, spacious, and relaxing — especially the steam room, sauna, pool, and jacuzzi. Though gym access was available (10am–3pm), we chose to fully enjoy the thermal suite instead. Lunch was served promptly with a good selection, though the cheese and pickle sandwich didn’t quite meet the mark.
A thoughtful touch: we were given a family room to change in, and on our way out, a long-haired gentleman kindly checked in on our experience — a lovely gesture that rounded off the day beautifully. Looking forward to visiting again! 💫

Folng on from a review LandsBritupNorth left almost 2 years ago, I can assure prospective guests that nothing has been improved. The hotel is dirty in areas , shabby and in need of renovation. The carpets through stairs and landing are stained. General feeling of grubbiness. The receptionist was slow and incompetent. The queue was getting impatient and eye-rolling to each other. We stayed for our daughter's wedding, which fortunately was NOT held here. The only saving grace was the attentive and friendly staff at breakfast.

Ursula in the restaurant at breakfast was rushed off her feet , but never stopped smiling and looking after a full restaurant of clients. She was so polite and helpful and a credit to the hotel.
The stay was fantastic the room 88 charming with beautiful views. The food last night on the function was excellent. The chef made the best butter pie.
Over all the stay was amazing

we went with Crosskeys coach company from the 18th to 22nd august. and met and greeted by Neil, and taken to our room 108 by Lily who was very helpful, as i was pushing my wife in her wheelchair. the room was spacious clean and tidy. only downside was the toilet seat as it was too low for my disabled wife, to get down on to it. also could do with a hand rail to get out the shower. apart from that no complaints, the bed was comfortable and it was so quiet and peaceful. the cleaners came in each day to clean and leave clean towels.
the staff both at breakfast and dinner were good and helpful and friendly, and Lily and Daneille went out there way to help us at all times at dinner . as did many others the food was good and well cooked and if there was anything we didn't like they would ask the chef to change it, which he did.
the staff at the bar again all helpful and friendly and made us welcome.
Hopefully we will go back again one day and i would recommend this hotel, in a lovely part of Blackburn. no complaints from us.
with 3 coaches and other guests it was busy but all staff coped well
thank you all for making our stay a pleasant one.

Had a very pleasant stay at The Dunkenhalgh for one night. Rooms were clean and large. All staff were friendly. We ate at the hotel’s restaurant and the food was nice although menu rather limited. A very helpful staff member called Isabel offered to bring us the bar menu to increase our choice and this was particularly well received by my daughter who is somewhat fussy. Had a good night’s sleep - our rooms were well away from a wedding reception that was taking place and were therefore nice and quiet. Short relaxing break - just what we needed.
