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.

Just returned from a 3 night stay at the Britannia Bolton hotel having read reviews I was not looking forward to our stay but was pleasantly surprised when we arrived, reception and corridors all spotless and the room we received was clean, comfortable and bathroom looked like it had just been upgraded, the staff were all pleasant and looked after you very well. Our morning started with a lovely breakfast good selection of cooked items as well as cereal's, toast etc not a large choice for evening meal but the price you pay couldn't complain.

I like this hotel and have stayed here a few times. It is well located near Blackburn just off the M65 at junction 5. The on site pub is nice and there are also numerous places nearby where you can socialise and eat and drink. The room is of a high standard and modern, the bathroom is more than adequate for shaving or doing makeup properly. The room was warm and comfortable even though it was quite cold outside. Check-in is straight forward and handled in the adjoining pub. Once you have checked in your key card gives you access into the hotel accommodation. There is a night porter available when the pub is closed but you won't see staff in the hotel accomodation apart from housekeepers in the morning so it's useful if a little discretion is required.

We spent New Years Eve and have to say, it was a brilliant way to bring in 2024. Our rooms were lovely. They were clean, and beautifully presented. When we arrived at the Blazers Suite for our Carvery Dinner, the staff had prepared a table really close by, as I had mentioned when booking that a member of my party was a bit unsteady on her feet. The receptionist said there would be somebody ready to help her to carry her hot meal, and there was a lovely member of staff at the back of the queue, who was more than happy to assist with choosing and carrying the plate to the table. The food was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the salmon and prawn starter, wrapped in the lightest pastry. The DJ was good, and the dance floor was packed all night. At midnight there was a rousing chorus of Auld Lang Syne. Only one little quibble, to knock a star off. I checked breakfast and check out times with the receptionist when we checked in. I had previously rang to check this information and was told breakfast 8-10am and check out 10.30am. I thought it worth another ask, as in previous hotels these were later, but the times were confirmed as above. I was surprised, therefore, to overhear the same receptionist mentioning a late check out to another guest as we were checking out. I queried this, and she confirmed both breakfast and check out were later, it being New Years Day. She said she had not been told about the change early enough, and apologised. After such an enjoyable evening, and a lovely breakfast, I was not in the mood to complain. However, the added half hour for breakfast and checkout would have meant we could spend a bit more time with my family, who had travelled from the Wirral to celebrate with us.
