Lovely hotel, friendly staff. We were in the annex which was a couple of minutes walk away from the main hotel (be careful if you are traversing in heels!. Everything was clean and tidy, although the hand soap/shower wash had not been filled. I would stay again. I did not mention to the staff about the soap so cannot fault them on what I did not mention. Staff were very lovely.

Quirky with some lovely staff in the evening in the restaurant. The gardens are also beautiful but small things could really enhance the hotel to get more from its potential.

My stay improved after a few small disappointments. The room was warm and quiet. The meal on the second night was excellent (first night's green curry with poppadoms was less so and lacking in flavour).

Awful place

We stayed in room 27 which is in a detached lodge house at the end of the carpark. There are a number of self contained rooms. The Carpet on the stairs was thread bare all the way up, the bathroom was very old, and after pressure was non existent. Noise all night, doors banging.

I think I would sum up the property as \"tired elegance\"! staff were very helpful and charming and the food was excellent. It must have been a very grand house at one time - I didn't have a chance to explore outside. It has been 7 years since I visited it last for a funeral wake.

Could be a lovely Hotel

Could be a really lovely Hotel unfortunately the bathroom was in urgent need of upgrading due to a really scratched bath which was also chipped. At first sight we thought it needed cleaned as it was covered in hairs. The shower head came away from the wall and could of hurt the person underneath it. Room furniture was scratched and chipped badly. My partner got locked out the hotel at 1 am on his return. Rang bell many times but was forced to ring myself at 1.30am for me to come down and try to let him in. I could not open the door. There was a paper on the reception desk with the night managers phone number but could not see it from outside. He wrung it over and over but no answer. Eventually the manager came past with earphones and no telephone and I got him to open the door. Not the best experience.

Very unclean

When first arrived put into a dirty room. Hair and shaver in the bathroom. Carpet had bits all over. Looked like it had not been cleaned. Was moved to a room in the outside lodge which again was unclean. Next day they moved my daughter back to the main hotel as thought it was for me a male and not my daughter of which they say never would put in the lodge as no one else was there. Unfortunately has seen better days. Needs a total update and proper cleaning. Would not have booked here except for being near to where we needed. Very sad as used to be of a very high standard.

Room change

I stayed here for 4 nights and during the 2nd night there was an issue with the room, and I wanted to change rooms, Millie on reception was very understanding and helpful and sorted me another room out immediately in the lodge for the rest of my stay, I can’t praise her enough for this
The food was good and the other staff were friendly and polite

Would not reccomend

Wallpaper was coming off the walls in the bedroom, the window had been left open all dayy, which I understand for freash air however the room was freezing, I put the radiator on full but after 3hrs it still wasn't warmed up, I went for a shower and the water was cold, the shower leaked and flooded the bathroom. After a couple more hours the radiators started to feel slightly warm, I went to reception and they said the would have a look but they didn't, second time I went down they said that as the radiator had started to warm they wouldn't move me. The radiator did not fully warm up and the room was freezing all night. Would not reccomend staying here, needs major upgrading to reach an acceptable standard.

Avoid if you can..

Originally put in the annex. As soon as we opened the door, the smell of mould, damp hits you, the condition of the room was poor, dated and tired. The bathroom seals had black mould. I wouldn’t say it was fit for someone to sleep in. It just looked like it had been sat there for 12 months untouched maybe. I called reception and she didn’t seem surprised by my reaction. We had got the room for a good price so I’m not sure if we were out there because of that factor.

We were moved into the main hotel building, the room was marginally better. Dated, old, tired, not had a deep clean in a while, stains and rips on the carpet, dust build up, bathroom needs a reseal however the bedding was clean as was the toilet although the towels were so hard and dry. No fan in this room but there was in the original, coffee machine but no pods, the hairdryer was dirty and grimy.

I personally wouldn’t recommended this hotel to anyone, we stayed due to location for a friends birthday a few miles away. I appreciate we managed to book at around £20/25 less than the normal night rate but even then, it isn’t good value. Basic requirements barely met, definitely not met in the annex room.

Sleeping wise, walls are thin. You can hear your neighbours going to the toilet, running the tap, general chit chat, switching plugs on/off, turning lights on, even turning in bed.
You can also hear everything from the corridor as well.

The only plus for this hotel was the location for where we needed to go

The worst hotel we have ever stayed at

Where do I start !!
Bedroom - no towels. Run out of loo rolls. Toiletries not as described as shown on website. A dress was hanging up in wardrobe (not mine). Bathroom was mouldy
Dining room. Carpet needed a vacuum there was chips on the floor at breakfast so clearly no one had vacuumed up from the evening before. it was the same poor state the next day at breakfast. If you state the veggie sausages where quorn then you should serve quorn (though I did get quorn on my second day)
The lounge carpet smells really bad hence I decided not to eat in there with the dog
Needless to say we won’t come back even if it was free

We booked two rooms for a weekend wedding. The rooms were located on a separate building that we had to walk to down hill or through muddy grass. The two rooms are very outdated and not as clean as we expected. There were loads of spiderwebs and dead both live and dead spiders at the entrance and in the bedrooms. The bathroom had mould and the shower dripped all day and night. The walls are also super thin and we could hear phones vibrating and doors being slammed all around. We also had no choice in weather or not we wanted housekeeping. There was no sign to put on the door so we were surprised to find someone had been in our rooms without our consent.
Rooms given were no where near what is advertised on Expedia.

The service and staff were fantastic though.

Friendly staff, lovely site but a bit tired

Friendly staff. Essentials clean but room decor and fitments very tired. Lovely situation with large gardens and balcony areas. Breakfast very good but one of the dinner meals very poor - over cooked fish, reheated soggy roasties and inedible asparagus.

Just what I needed tor the occasion

In this case I was travelling alone so just needed somewhere comfortable to rest my head and have a good breakfast. While this hotel is getting a bit threadbare, the walls are a bit thin, and the shower is a little tight, it fit my needs perfectly on this occasion. Staff are very pleasant and helpful breakfast and breakfast room are great.

Unfortunately when we checked in, the room allocated did not have sufficient beds for the number of guests we had booked for. It took 1.5hrs and 3 different beds before the issue was resolved. Not ideal when you have young children and want to get them settled swiftly (we checked in at 7pm with the hope of getting them straight into bed). Everything else about the hotel was fine, but obviously our key need was not met without significant disruption to our stay.

A little gem in the Burnley countryside

A great experience from beginning to end. Huge room (The Girlie room), which was very quiet given its position away from neighbouring guest rooms. Nice decor although the bathroom was a little small and needed more storage space for toiletries etc (I pointed this out to the staff). Food was good in a bar area overlooking pleasant countryside. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Terrible place. Avoid.

My goodness how disappointing! Really shocking service from the staff in “fitzys” there was a wedding happening and clearly although we were a family of 12 they simply didn’t care less. Much more focused on the large wedding party happening next door.
My parents needed a ground floor room with a shower which my disabled mother could use. We’re given a room down a steep slope with a shower over a bath tub which she could not use.
I found a pubic hair in the bath tub in my room.
The food was very poor and expensive too.
Do not stay here. It has gone downhill MASSIVELY. The beds are very uncomfortable and seem old. The rooms are dated 1980s.
The wedding party was so loud and got woken up 2am by drunk people shouting outside my room (12). Overall not an experience I would want to repeat.

Bit dated, but overall OK

Check in dead easy. Ample parking. Location is lovely, a really nice short walk just up the road for a bit of fresh air with some cracking views.
Room - dated. Kettle wasn't empty which is a real pet peeve. Bed not particularly comfortable but adequate for a night.
Shower, bath, bathroom pretty good.
Food in the restaurant is OK, nothing special.

It’s 3 star, you get 3 star

It was comfortable and priced well for what I had.

The good things, the bed was comfy, the staff were friendly and check in was quick and smooth.

The not so good, the room(7) was very dated, the windows had been left wide open from the previous guest so the room was freezing (it was minus 3 outside and I arrived at 11pm), the style is very dated and could do with some modernisation. Worst of all, the room wasn’t cleaned very well, biscuit wrappers were behind the bedside tables and headboard. If they haven’t cleaned these areas with a simple check, what else didn’t they clean properly.

Overall, you get what you pay for.... and I didn’t pay very much. So I can’t complain.

A very spacious room. Lovely old property with a great view of the grounds. Very good price. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming.
We had the four poster bed, room 5. The bed was a little creaky and we were directly opposite the door for others to go down to reception which meant it was a little noisy in the morning. Carpet could have been cleaner. Having said that, we would stay again.

Not too happy but, it wasn't the worse stay.

SADLY I didn't get the repeat room I asked for which, was empty most of my stay. Really noisy wedding parties. Coupled with a shower that didn't work until a spanner was used which, I had to fiddle with. It wasn't a great experience but, it could've been worse.

Loved the grounds and settings. Check in staff goid, bar staff good, breakfast was appalling. Worst breakfast i have ever experienced. We had to wait 15 mins before asking for tea and coffee, it was not busy. Time was 9.05 so well before end of service. I ordered egg, bacon and black pudding. They were inedible the fried egg had rubberised. The bacon burnt to a crisp. We also waited over 30mins for it to arrive and there was a total mix up with everyone s order. I told the waitress i could not eat it, she apologised and took it away. We thought they would be bringing another. After waiting another 15 mins none had arrived and we saw the chef going out. We then decided to leave and put it down to a bad experience. Shame it was a bad end to a wonderful wedding .

June Stay

The rooms are very dated, although all the rooms seem to have different interior. The grounds of the hotel were beautiful and amazing for a wedding venue, although we couldn’t enjoy it because of the persistent rain. Lastly, we went to the restaurant for tea on our first night and breakfast the morning after. The breakfast was cooked to order which was nice with a good selection however the steak we had the night prior wasn’t the best. Overall the stay was below average but for the purpose of a wedding the venue is very nice.
