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:

Comfortable, friendly and value for money stay.
Pros:

Great staff - very friendly. Knew my name and made me feel very welcome. Always attentive. Food was outstanding as was the price for bed and breakfast. This applied to Zoe and the Team as well as Damien.

Cons:

Not much I did not like. I got two single beds, a double or king size would have been my preference but this did not detract from the overall stay.

Great stay
Pros:

The staff were friendly and efficient, checking in was straight forward.
The Bar and breakfast area was welcoming with a great selection of hot and cold food, the fresh fruit choice one of the best I've had.
The bedroom and bathroom was spotlessly clean, the toiletries were good quality.
Great selection of hot drinks as well as cold water in the room.
It was clear that a great deal of thought has gone into this lovely hotel making it a real home from home feeling.
The manager went above and beyond and gave me a lift to the local train station so that I could make my train into Manchester, which I really appreciated.

Cons:

There wasn't anything I didn't like.
