A very relaxing and beautiful place to stay over.
Pros:

The cooked breakfast was delicious and every effort was made to maintain a high standard and quality of food and its presentation. We had asked for poached eggs but the chef wasn’t happy with how they were turning out, so refused to serve them, and asked whether we would prefer them fried or scrambled. Nice to see that the staff had set high standards and weren’t willing to skimp. The location was beautiful and quiet too.

Cons:

It’s hard to say. The hotel is obviously a very popular place to stay and the staff are very busy, plus everyone was very approachable and helpful. There were odd areas around the hotel corridors and in our room, which were looking slightly tired and needed some touching up, but this is being picky and it was no cause to warrant a complaint.

Creaky noisy floorboards above our room. Woke us up several times in the night. Some mould in the bathroom. Toilet seat was loose and slipped sideways.

Great place for stop off to see Blackburn and surroundings.
Pros:

Clean, well maintained. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The food served - breakfast, lunch and dinner - is of very high quality.
Lots of great little extras like special dog treats for sale, sun cream freely available at every table outside; our dog was offered a sausage at each breakfast.

Cons:
