    ceremonial hall
    delicious breakfast
    dance floor
    overpriced bar

    Had an amazing time with friends, celebrating a big day! We enjoyed toasting champagne in the beautiful ceremonial hall and danced the night away under the stars. The lovely breakfast was a nice touch to start our day. Just be prepared for stairs if you're on the upper floors.

    The bar was overpriced.

    Exceptional Dining Experience

    Dined here to celebrate a wedding anniversary and felt truly special. The warm welcome from the staff made our evening. The chicken with peppercorn sauce was unforgettable, and the homemade chocolate plate for our anniversary was a sweet touch. Don’t miss this delightful dining experience!

    lovely breakfast
    charming historical features
    attentive staff
    cramped room
    inconsistent shower
    difficult bathroom

    I enjoyed my stay with a lovely breakfast and the charming historical features of the hotel. The staff were very attentive and helpful during my visit. I experienced some difficulty with the shower facilities, as the water flow was inconsistent, and the room felt cramped at times.

    stunning gardens
    delightful breakfast
    inconsistent shower temperature

    We recently enjoyed a family getaway at Astley Bank. The surroundings are absolutely stunning, especially the serene gardens where we spent quality time relaxing. For breakfast, we indulged in a delightful spread, with fresh options in the bright conservatory. It was a lovely start to each day!

    In my wife’s opinion, the shower temperature control was inconsistent, making it tough for the kids to manage their bath time. A more family-friendly approach to bathroom facilities would be great.

    delicious breakfast
    helpful staff
    poor breakfast experience
    inconvenient shower
    restricted breakfast time

    The good breakfast selection of hot and cold options was a highlight during the stay, with friendly staff ensuring an enjoyable dining experience. breakfast service turned chaotic on the second day due to a wedding, with a buffet lacking pastries and a strict 9.30 am exit time enforced. the over-bath shower provided only a weak water flow, falling short of expectations for hotel standards.

    friendly staff
    beautiful grounds
    hard bed
    low shower pressure

    The wedding venue was impressive and the staff truly made us feel welcomed, though the shower pressure could use improvement. a delightful experience with beautiful grounds and lovely communal areas. the bed was quite hard, which made for an uncomfortable night’s sleep.

    cooked-to-order breakfast

    Solid selection for a city holiday in Darwen with good value for cost. The breakfast was cooked to order and piping hot. Try to get breakfast early to avoid the rush.
