Astley Bank Hotel

A most enjoyable short stay...

Liked: The restaurant and the staff were particularly good. The room was large and the bed comfortable. By current British hotel standards, the restaurant and bar prices were very reasonable. There was abundant hot water in the shower and bath. It was an interesting old hotel with some beautiful Victorian stained-glass windows.
Disliked: The numerous potholes in the approach road are a hazard - not the hotel's responsibility but a potential problem nevertheless.

Good value hotel in lovely...

Liked: Friendly staff, lovely grounds, comfy and clean room. Ideal location for us to walk into Darwen. Good value, we paid a very reasonable price. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again for that price.
Disliked: No air con (were having a heatwave so it is unusual weather!) But we slept with the window open and we managed. The little road leading up to the hotel is full of pot holes. Not the hotel's fault I suppose but it is maintained by residents of the street.

Very good

Amazing, beautiful, top class stay!

Liked: We liked everything about this property. It is beautiful inside and out!
Disliked: Nothing, everything was just perfect.

I wouldn't go back

Liked: The grounds are nice, and the location is good.
Disliked: Burnt breakfast, not just overcooked. Burnt bacon and burnt eggs Benedict. I was supposed to stay for a second night and have dinner, but I didn't want to after I realised they can't cook eggs.

It was a lovely looking...

Liked: It was in a great location for what we needed. It was lovely inside with the stain glass windows. We had a lovely meal on the evening but breakfast was all dried up
Disliked: The first room we had the door kept banging everytime a staff member walked past. They moved us to another room but the bed was small and no view from window.
