Family meal

We went up after the refurb and yes what a difference the deco and the place looks amazing well done to the new tenants and all the staff. We ordered food which the Chef Colin always delivers and the quality is amazing. Would recommend to anyone.

Great stay with great service

Turned up with a party of 16, had to add a plus one and was well accommodated, really good food and service, mine didn't arrive as expected but the team put it right straight away, always difficult with a large party of people, but the food came almost simultaneously for everyone which was unexpected, food was excellent from that point, the place has a lovely historic feel to it as several of our party had been here before over the last couple of decades, would definitely return myself.

Thwaites hotels are awful.

I booked two rooms to treat my Mum to a night away. We had our rooms beside each other & upon entrance of the room I was instantly disappointed. The decor & furnishings are so tired & dated, the walls had marks all over them in various places, the bathroom shower tiles are in serious need of new grouting & the marble sink is discolored & stained, not what I expect to see when paying for a 4 * hotel! The bar service is a joke, waiting half an hour for our drinks to be brought over to us.

Excellent experience

Good, fresh food well cooked, great value for money. Attentive service but not fussy and very well kept beer! As I found out later that they are award winners. The log fire was lovely and cosy and certainly contributed to the warm friendly pub. We will definitely be back, and not just for our 10% discount.

Typical Thwaites overpriced & unedifying

We stayed at this hotel as we were attending a wedding reception. i think the hotel is overated as it needs updating. The room was tiny and very old fashioned. The drinks were expensive and the snack we had in the bar before the wedding was overpriced a burger and chips was £22.50 i would have expected steak for that price. I would not recommend this hotel,We also didnt have breakfast as it was £27.00 each

Simply the best pub in Blackburn

As the title suggests, this is the best pub in the area. Great ale, great staff, great food and great atmosphere. Always something going on. Keep up the good work guys..Just stopped off for one but ended up staying longer , very nice comfortable pub worth a visit.

What the heck was going on?

The food, whilst I can’t say has been bad in recent times, it is not what it used to be and it has gone down-hill. The customer service however, has noticeably declined. Gone are the friendly and helpful staff who could guarantee a decent service, rather it appears to be more of a bunch of kids in charge here, arguable more interested in socialising than taking down the details of orders correctly, nor ensuring all meals arrive somewhat together – if at all.

Good honest food

My wife and I went there for our evening meal (Tea, Dinner, supper, whatever you call it) and the food was superb. The steak and kidney pudding (locally made) was the best I've eaten and my wife had fish. Beautifully served and delicious. To cap it all, really nice friendly staff too.

Not worth the money - not a luxury experience.

The Leisure facilities were not what we were expecting for a "spa" more like the local swimming pool. The prices in the restaurant were not reflective of the food or service. The room was like a premier inn but the bedding was ancient. The spa treatments were not luxury, the staff were nice, but £42 nails were all smudged on the way out as we were moved along before they dried. By this point we had already decided we were never going back and had another event to go to so left.

Not a good experience

First and last visit, Friday 5pm. Mt husband ordered fish and chips, the fish was small to say the least! I ordered gammon pineapple and egg. The egg was a rubber blob, chips dry and served with salad. We didn't stay for desert. We were asked if we enjoyed our meal when we went to pay! Our negative reply was "oh dear" ( with a smile) we weren't offered a stopper for our half bottle of wine that we decided to take home. We will not be returning.
