We were attending a wedding and feel the team were excellent on the day. The wedding meal was good and the room well adorned. We had a lovely time.

Breakfast the next morning was not as good. The staff seemed disinterested and we had to wait for food and coffee. Several wedding guests did not get any food at all including the bride and groom. Breakfast timing is early and ends by 9.30am which on a day that the clocks move forward is a bit harsh. I got the last hash brown 25 minutes before service ended but it was cold.

Absolutely stunning, The venue was hosting a wedding at the time of our stay. We were emailed prior to arriving, offering us a free cancellation. We chose to continue with our trip, and we had an undisturbed stay. You could hear the events of the wedding in the reception areas but nothing from our room. The room was warm and comfortable, and the hotel itself and the grounds were stunning. An absolute treat. Could not fault it.

There is absolutely nothing to fault, I think on a personal note, we would have preferred to have our breakfast in our rooms, as this was a buffet style breakfast with all the wedding guests. But that's a personal preference, not complaint or fault. Hotel was stunning.

lovely reception staff beautiful grounds and building good parking rooms were clean and extra pillows nice bathroom

there was a wedding on (which was fine) but when we came back to the hotel there was nowhere for us to sit and have a drink so we went to our room lots of the food had run out at breakfast and we had to ask staff to replace it- we waited for sausages then toast and gave up on some things- staff we're all lovely and obviously busy but we paid £120 for the night and breakfast and shouldn't have cold toast and no sausages! bed was a bit small and soft

The hotel has a lot of character and is set in beautiful grounds that give a real sense of wellbeing. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had an evening meal on both occasions we have stayed at the hotel and the food was lovely, with generous portions! Both times we have stayed at Astley Bank, there have been functions on and I can see why someone would choose this place for a wedding or special celebration. Although a little dated, the rooms were clean and of a decent size. Despite the fact there were functions being held at the hotel, we still managed to have a good night’s sleep and were not disturbed by any noise late at night! The buffet breakfast was good, with a reasonable range of cereals, yogurts and hot food etc.

We really liked our short stays at Astley Bank and there was nothing we didn’t like. However, because the bar area is quite small; when there are private functions being held, it would be good to have an alternative comfortable area for residents who are not attending the function to be able to sit and have a drink.

Staff are all lovely. Breakfast pastries were excellent, as were the sausages when they eventually arrived.

Paying £120 when I could have got a room for £53 if I’d waited a bit longer. Mattress not pocket sprung so rolled into the middle all night. Room wasn’t quiet (unlike previous years) - could hear the party downstairs until about 00.30. Breakfast - took a while to restock items when empty and those that were there when we arrived were stone cold. Bathroom door (room 32) needs some WD40 on the hinges.

Very friendly staff and very clean - food was good - we were there for a wedding which was very well presented - great to see toiletries in the gents 😀

Just a few minor attention to detail things - master of ceremony had a lovely red tail coat but unfortunately had a completely mismatched shirt and tie - the cane chair I was on in the ceremony was really wobbly and had a missing cross support fortunately I am not over heavy - some the seats at breakfast were marked

Having stayed before, we knew what to expect and weren't disappointed. Great value for a midweek stay and would heartily recommend Room 28 if it is available. We didn't eat at the hotel other than breakfast .

The only negative we had was that the buffet breakfast was barely warm and served with unheated plates which made the meal less appealing than it should have been. We got round this partially by requesting poached eggs from the kitchen which arrived on warm plates and were cooked to perfection.

We were on the top floor and the views were fantastic. The grounds are also lovely. The room had everything we need, it was a decent size and a very comfortable sleep. We didnt eat but food smelt great. Other hotels in the area have an 11pm curfew so this is a fantastic option if you are having an evening out in the area.

We were meeting friends for drinks in Darwen so wanted to walk to the restaurant (just 5 mins away) - the road out of the hotel is not lit, has no path and is not even. I would recommend anyone staying to go out for the evening uses a taxi to get to their destination.

The breakfast was the best we have had and we have been in a lot of hotels / the hotel rooms and grounds are spotless the location is great for local tourist attractions All the staff are very friendly and helpful nothing is a bother to them. A very happy place to stay 😀. We would recommend this hotel to everybody and will be back soon for our 3rd visit Jeff & Sheila Oliver

There is nothing to dislike !!!!!

Staff in reception, bar and evening restaurant were very helpful. Large bedroom with peeiod features. Lovely grand building and grounds. Good evening meal.

Staff were clearly not expecting so.many people to come down the breakfast when it opened at 8am on Sunday. This was probably due to the fire alarm going off early in the morning. There was not enough cooked food prepared for the guests and so people had to wait for more food to be cooked. I was not told that I had to ask for toast and so did not have any.
