Mercure Blackburn Foxfields Country Hotel.  

We stayed at the Foxfields to attend a wedding a few miles away. Several relatives also stayed there and the facilities were really good for being there as a group - plenty of places to wait/meet each other, a spacious bar and sitting areas. The facilities in the junior suite we really good and the bed was very comfortable. The location is lovely and we enjoyed watching the rabbits outside our room early in the morning.

Excellent room, massive and spacious with huge walk in on-suite bathroom. Very comfortable and affordable too. Staff were very freindly and helpful, dining/bar staff very good and pleasant. Gymnasium was a little small but good sauna/steam room and pool facilities. Overall very good and throughly enjoyable experience. Thank you.

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.

Huge comfortable room - excellent value for money on the pre-paid rate we got. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

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

Nothing! All was a1 !

Helpful staff and breakfgast was OK.

Room was smokey but I refused offer to move. Curtins did not close properly but housekeeing knew this but had not fixed this. No paper arrived and one morning I was not asked whether I wanted tea or coffee for breakfast. Second day was all OK. Got the value I paid for but would have been annoyed if I had paid full price.

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. :)

Spacious room

Breakfast staff were a little common and breakfast was awful. General surroundings needed to be abit brighter / fresher / more modern.

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!

Very nice bedroom with adjoining dressing room/desk work. The room we had overlooked a meadow with chickens and rabbits. Nice courtyard. Close to Whalley where there are a number of pubs and the Swan does food up to 8.45pm if you want a change from the hotel. Good base to see the Trough of Bowland which in my opinion matches anywhere in England.

Blak mold on bath surround.

The recent refurbishment was evident. Our room/suite was extremely swish, comfortable and excellent value for money - although I think we were upgraded as the hotel was far from full. The pool and fitness facilities were a bonus.

The hotel lacked atmosphere, perhaps because it was far from full. The bar was open only on request - therefore unused - perhaps because of its limited choice.

having to go to reception every night to get the key card programmed again so we could enter our room

having a sitting room was nice, good big comfy bed too. Staff were friendly also.
