Mercure Blackburn Foxfields Country Hotel.  

Very welcoming staff on arrival, upgrade to a suite which was a nice unexpected surprise. Spa/sauna easy to access, very informal. Free newspapers, good breakfast although maybe a little expensive, especially if you don't order the night before. We were attending a local wedding but hotel is ideally situated for countryside walks etc. Nearby Whalley (1.5 miles easy walk away) is a lively town with many pubs/restaurants. A very pleasant stay.

Very good location as a stop over on our way up to the Lake District. Having a lounge with a seperate bedroom was a real bonus along with the large ensuite bathroom. The leisure facilities too a bonus to relax after our long journey. Breakfast cooked to order and plenty of choice. Would stay again if visiting this area again.

Comfortable room: good pool and spa

Difficult to obtain bar snack-odd charging system

The staff were very friendly.

Service in the restuarant was slow and breakfast was inedible. The changing room at the pool was dirty, dark and not enough showers. There was a broken tile laid on a piece of cardboard on the floor. There were other cracked tiles. The carpets in the hotel smelled musty, plug in scents nearly disguised it, but made it hard to breathe. The bathroom was dirty, especially the base of the shower door. I trod a piece of glass but I ahd not dropped anything.i was not hurt.

Value for money. Great sized rooms.

Comfortable

Exccellent value for money . The Rooms decor is a wee bit dated but we had a double suite with a large living , bed and bathroom . The room was very clean and comfortable all for forty four pound with leisure facilities m Having booked it for closeness to the brillant Northcote Manor it is definitely a place we would go back to .

Even from the car park the hotel looked lovely. The rooms were big and clean. It was perfect for what I wanted.

Good location, huge rooms,( I had a junior suite). Spotless, quality fittings.. 2 T.v's, loveley bathroom.As it's a little away from the town, I felt abliged to eat in, however the restaurant is superb, and the food well cooked. The leisure facilities are a little dated but well worth trying out. For £44 how can travelodge/premier lodge compete?

When booking in I was told breakfast was £8, however, after partaking, I found it was £13.95.... continental was £8! a bit pricey I think, no wonder I was the only one in there! Having said that, the bacon, sausage, egg was delicious.... And I stay out at least twice a week.

The location was perfect for my needs and the rooms arehuge and fantastic!

Nothing! All was a1 !

The room was great. the restaurant was busy so we ate elsewhere.

Lovely to have space in the room when working.

I booked the hotel for the wrong date on the internet; not sure how I did that? I had booked it for 2/10/11 and turned up at 9pm on 7/9/11. The wonderful lady on reception (Lesley) sorted everything out for me and changed the whole booking that evening with Booking.com who were also fantastic. No extra charges. The only problem was that food stoppped serving at 9pm when I had arrived, but the lady on reception ordered the kitchen to make me a sandwich which was great. I was really panicked when I arrived (being a lady on my own), but the receptionist put me at ease and treated me very well. Also thanks to booking.com for not kicking up a stink for the changed booking. :)

Found this hotel on Booking.com and it was excellent value for money, clean and the location was very handy for a wedding we went to at Whalley Abbey, which was just 1.5 miles away with some lovely views along the way. Definitely recommend it.

The breakfast was a little pricey so didn't partake, but might have been a nice end to the stay if it was a little cheaper like the room. Definitely would stay here again though!
