Spa was excellent, breakfast always delicious, dinners were also delicious, and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Only trouble I had was the drain in the shower of my room didn't quite drain correctly....leading it to spill into the bathroom floor. Otherwise, fantastic stay! It was my third time staying here, and I'd 100% stay again!

The staff were helpful, polite and attentive. The bedroom was clean and spacious. Unfortunately, the building both inside and out is very very tired and in need of some serious investment.

Does what it says on the tin :)

I had two rooms booked - a twin for one person and a superior double. Both excellent. Gripe for the superior was about a half an hour to run a bath and no Wi-Fi :( possibly due to location at the back of the hotel. We were there for a family 90 th nearby so it was a great opportunity to stay. Accrington was £6 in an uber. Disappointing though to have to pay a tenner if you want to use the pool :( gym free mind. Overall though a great hotel and thanks for the late bar. Our tariff was RO so didn’t try brekky but a very decent stay in this area. Our room was cool despite hot weather so that was good though the windows did open and not too darn the ground floor to be unsafe so defo a dec place to stay thanks.
