    That we couldn’t stay longer :)

    Gorgeous setting with lovely expansive gardens. Excellent parking. Nicely furnished rooms with lovely outlook. Spa bath! Included breakfast was excellent plus we had an evening meal and it was 4 star!! Creative and delicious. Even though the chef was also catering for a wedding being held there at the same time. Our hats off to all the staff.

    A lovely period Manor House with all the relevant features. Receptionist very friendly and rushed our rooms through as we arrived early. We were able to sit and work in the lounge, purchased a lovely light lunch and had tea and coffee. Rooms were great, bed comfortable then a delicious fresh cooked breakfast.

    Astley Bank is a lovely old hotel in beautiful grounds. We have stayed before and were not disappointed - very nice room, clean and comfortable. Staff are all very nice - great breakfast with good choice of hot and cold options. We will see you again!

    Really comfy bed and spacious room and bathroom. Friendly helpful staff. Beautiful building and well looked after grounds.

    We were meeting friends for drinks in Darwen so wanted to walk to the restaurant (just 5 mins away) - the road out of the hotel is not lit, has no path and is not even. I would recommend anyone staying to go out for the evening uses a taxi to get to their destination.

    We were on the top floor and the views were fantastic. The grounds are also lovely. The room had everything we need, it was a decent size and a very comfortable sleep. We didnt eat but food smelt great. Other hotels in the area have an 11pm curfew so this is a fantastic option if you are having an evening out in the area.
