Hotel 3 Bintang di Darwen

The stay started with a welcoming smile, and a polite and friendly welcome even though it was just after the new year, and was in the evening. The welcome was warm and helpful and very friendly that put you at ease. Checkin was quick, easy and excellent, just what you need after a 4 hour drive. The room was very clean and relaxing. The bedroom was a little cold on arrival but soon warmed up. The bed was a king size and very relaxing. We took up the meal deal offer (something I’d highly recommend taking) getting to the restaurant was all under cover so kept both warm and dry, especially with the torrential rain we had which was nice and carefully thought through. The good wax excellent, good menu choice, with extremely friendly service, very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was again welcomed with a great smile, and friendly service with a wide range of options and excellent quality food and service. Overall was an excellent stay, friendly staff, excellent service from beginning to end. Will definitely use again and would highly recommend this hotel.

We have just returned home after a three night stay at Astley Bank. On arrival, we were pleased enough with our room even though it looked a bit dated and tired. Friends joined us for dinner in the restaurant that evening and the food was good. On our first morning, we had breakfast in a small side room where we had the choice of fruit, yoghurt, pastries and a cooked choice from the A la Carte menu. All very nice. We had been informed their was a wedding that evening but as our room was on the second floor we weren't at all bothered by the noise and had a good night's sleep. Our main issues are around breakfast on the second day. Because of the wedding party, breakfast was a buffet in the restaurant. Also, on our last morning breakfast was again served as a buffet in the restaurant. On both days we were told to leave the restaurant at 9.30 sharp as the staff needed to prepare for lunchtime guests. We were also told there were no more pastries left as they had all been eaten. Astley Bank is a four star hotel but from our experience on the last two mornings, breakfast was not a four star event. We should have been informed that the A la Carte menu would not be available and, in our view, offered a refund. Our other issue was the over the bath shower in our bathroom. The water came out little more than a dribble, again, not what you expect from a four star hotel. The majority of the staff were very pleasant, with a ready greeting and smile. Mainly because of the issue over breakfast, we would have to think hard as to whether we would return. Any changes from what one might expect should be clearly explained upon booking.
