Food Poisoning at 4 star hotel.

My partner and I stayed one night at this 4 star hotel last weekend. We both had dinner in the restaurant. About midnight my partner was suddenly feeling sick and was up all night throwing up. Not the weekend away we had planned. I was Ok although I think it was because I had a cooked started and she had a selection from the chefs cold table. I did tell the reception on checkout and they said they were sorry but that was it.

Great village pub.

I’d heard very good things about the new management.The service was friendly, the food was absolutely brilliant. Good wholesome pub food. I had the steak pie which was lovely, with a lovely rich gravy. All plates cleared. We will definitely return, I think if this is the standard, the other pubs in the area should be worried. Thanks again. We will definitely return.

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.

We will not be visiting again!

The service was extremely poor considering that it was not busy and there were ample waiting on staff. We had to ask for everything from ordering to asking to pay not to mention over a half hour to wait for food and with a young baby in the party this was not acceptable. The food was just ok, the portion sizes were very disappointing thus making the value under par. The scallop starter was also poor value with three scallops for £17.50!! We haven't even paid that in some Manchester restaurants.

Wheelchair users Not Welcome

Tried staying here as a wheelchair user wanting to simply sleep, eat, wash and shower BUT despite booking a wheelchair accessible room this is not possible at at this 4**** hotel. They told me my only option was to use the spa facilities which were some 100m from my room. MOST UNWELCOME AVOID AT ALL COSTS IF YOU ARE A WHEELCHAIR USER !!!

Business hotel they are joking!

Rude staff and Management didn’t seem to care less! Not worth the money paid for rooms. Had better experience elsewhere for less money. For the benefit of minimum characters, manager wasn’t bothered with dealing with my complaint, staff clearly working for their wage and that’s it!

Home cooked food at its best

This is a lovely little pub, with lovely home cooked food. The menu has plenty for everyone, and there is a specials board each day. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. . Whilst there is a large car park across road, it can be a bit tricky crossing the road at bust times.

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.

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.

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.

Sunday lunch oh no!

We have dined at this pub before but a few weeks ago had an awful meal. the pie was dreadful with what was the meat?! and the pastry was inedible .The vegetables were soggy & overcooked.the staff were nice. The price we paid for what we had was expensive! We wont be diniing here again.

Very disappointing to say the least

I was looking forward to returning for a Sunday lunch of the highest quality but what I was served fell considerably short. For starters the wife and I shared mussels. I often order mussels as I'm very partial to one from time to time. These were the worst I've ever had the misfortune to eat. Must of been frozen v strange taste. Really really poor. For main I had the lamb rump. At £26 this was quite possibly the most overpriced meal over ever eaten. 3 small tiny fatty pieces of lamb.

Very, very disappointing meal

Just returned from what potentially could have been a lovely meal. Unset table, warm water, and under cooked over priced risotto. When mentioned waitress replied as if trying to educate us that it was 'al dente'....... this doesn't translate as crunchy. Other food items did not match description. Won't be returning, and this probably explains why only 3 tables were taken all evening.
