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.

Disappointing.

The single room was dreadful. No chair to sit on. No shelving in bathroom to put toiletries on and the shower smelt of cat pee. Not a pleasant room to be in . Certainly not four star. It smelt awful, staff put bleach down the shower drain. Smell came straight back. Better rooms in a Premier Inn. Breakfast let down by having to wait too long fir your breakfast to come when ordered.

Restaurant Shocking.

Slow unattractive staff. Food was on this occasion acceptable. Incorrect order constantly asking what is ordered I don’t understand how places like this stay open they are lucky with the lack of competition in the area.

A disappointing night away from home.

When I arrived the reception staff were abrupt and unwelcoming. The room was adequate although the pillows were awful. For a room costing over £200 I would say it was barely worth a quarter of that. I will not be returning. Oh and the advertised bath products were tiny. Don’t try to order a la carte at breakfast as you can’t. What you can do is order the fixed options without various of the things!!!!

So very disappointed

We dined there this evening! My partners starter & main course was ok but my food was hugely disappointing. My starter was smoked salmon with prawns “ and the salmon was dried around the edges plus the prawns where tasteless and a strange shade of green “ I understand it was ment to be a verde sauce” but the presentation and taste was yuk!! Partner main lasagne & he say was just ok! The pasta was hard.

Awful experience

From 2hour waits for food to rude waiting in staff it became laughable, one evening I saw two people come back into the hotel and sit down and eat a Mac Donald’s and KFC both on different tables in a 4star rated hotel. I Suspect either the staff are terrified of the chef or the staff don’t communicate with the chef. After all is said and done despite the lovely decor I would avoid this place if you are looking for a 4star stay it’s more like faulty towers than a four star hotel and such a shame

Well below par.

Disappointing. My favourite place to go in Blackburn and today was not very nicè the chicken Kiev was dry and the garlic tasted bitter there was th salt already on the chips then the gammon was placed on the chips witch is char grilled so the gammon went really salty and the chips went black . Plus was quite cold. by the time I got table checked it was too late and seemed pointless complaining .

Impeccable!

The staff were so polite and attentive throughout our time and the food was absolutely impeccable! I cannot emphasis enough how flavoursome and high quality the food itself was, portion sizes were perfect and the presentation was wonderful. We both agreed this place absolutely has exceeded what we’re already quite high expectations and we will definitely be visiting again!

This is a Fawlty Towers hotel without the wit

This hotel entirely rests on its laurels due to the location. My room was incredibly noisy, small and massively overpriced. This is a Fawlty Towers hotel and don't bother to complain because neither the staff nor Basil can handle it. Its all the customers fault.
