Rooms seperate from pub
Nothing
Top place
The owl every night hahaha
Good Area for bus route and comfortable place to stay
Good location with the hungry horse attached Hungry horse as always great value for money
Nothing
Good breakfast and lunch and dinner good choice and pending on cook I'll give low 7 to a high 8
I have nothing to dislike except best not to book on match days unless your there for the match and of course it's across from the club
All was fine.
Doors to other rooms could have been fitted with dampening strips to reduce closing noise.
Handy location for where we were visiting. Pub was nice and large and food was good.
We were in a bedroom designed for a disabled person which for my husband of 6ft 6, bending to use the sink in the bathroom was quite challenging. The bed was quite uncomfortable as it seemed to have a very thin mattress.
breakfast was nice a good amount of choice
the whole place needs redoing ,it’s very tired & worn out ,
Excellent location for Ewood football ground, food was good, big room
Room was in need of some tlc , bath sealant was mouldy and grout on tiles filthy and hairs in bath. No shower gel in shower dispenser and was only left half a roll of toilet paper, general cleanliness could of been much better . Bed was very firm and just 2 singles pushed together
Hotel mit Sportsbar
Es ist in die Jahre gekommen
Clean and comfortable . Pleased to have dinner delivered to my room. Delicious food. Reasonable prices. Pleasant and helpful staff.
Cheap
Signs of poor maintenance in the room
Very fairly priced nice and clean
Area good for buses etc
Been coming here for a number of years and it has been slowly declining but this visit was the worst to date toilet seat still hanging off has been for over five years now, desk lamp hanging in bits, black mould all around the bath, shower coming away from wall and to cap it all the net curtains where covered in black mould I don't know if these rooms ever get inspected but they definitely need it and a lot of updates needed as it's really shabby now. Not happy.
It’s location
The shortage of staff
The accommodation was adequate for a single night. Only place to stay near Darwen so choice is limited.
Bathroom was tired & in need of a refresh - missing sealant round the bath & grubby in places. Check-in took a long time because you have to do it at the bar, which was busy & had only one person serving. Process would be quicker if you could check in online.
Comfy
Bathroom abit dirty
There was mould on the net curtains in room 4 and the tile and sealer need replacing
The bed to have had the same size mattress didn’t like mould on the net curtains
Breakfast ok. No opion on location. Loved easy access to my room.
Don't know really.
Great stay at the fernhurst over the Bank Holiday weekend! Good size room with a comfy bed and all the amenities you need! The pub is lovely too and serves great food! Will stay again!
Staff and location are perfect.
We have used this hotel a few times and it's looking really run down and not clean. Due to these issues I thing there are over charging for what they are offering.
The staff were helpful and polite. The food was well priced, tasty and presented nicely. They served a good pint of Guinness. The room was clean and comfortable.
Some attention needed to the grouting and sealant round the bath. Mould is starting to take hold. The carpet has some bad stains or burn marks making it look a bit tatty.
The location was good for where we were visiting.
It was mucky, run down, old bathroom with mould and fill of cobwebs.
Checking in is very efficient and quick, Room was quiet and spacious.
Nothing everything as very satisfactory.
We 99%use the Fernhurst when we visit elderly family, which proves how much we like staying there
They never seem to have blended whiskey available, which is what I usually drink.
Staff was helpful
The bathroom toilet made a very loud noise when flushes and was all way through filling back up the doors outside was constantly slamming all night and window smashed extractor fan in bathroom was very loud
It was an easy location, staff was friendly enough
The food at dinner has to be sent back as it was cremated, the window in the room didn’t shut, the beer garden noise went on till 3:30am, the room was basic and the bathroom facilities needed a good scrub,
The location was good
The mattress too big for the bed, The beds are not good The bathroom toilet seat was broke One curtain up and the other on the table
The staff were very friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to help us. I have to eat a Gluten free diet and there were plenty of choices. We had an early check out and asked if we could have a sandwich to go. They provided a fantastic breakfast to go and we were more than pleased with it. Nothing was too much trouble for them. A big thank you to them all, including the night porter, from us both. We will definitely be returning. Christine and Paul Wells
The room looked a little tired
I like this hotel as close to where friends stay
The hotel was very good value for money considering it was a last minute booking. Bed was comfy and room was a nice temperature.
Bright lights from the car park lit up the room despite the black out curtains. It wasn’t very clear where to check in and found myself waiting at the bar for some time in order to check in. The hotel was clean, but could do with a bit of tlc as it felt a bit tired.
Comfortable rooms plenty of space impressed
Everything was good
I have stayed a few times and it never disappoints, i dont actually spend much time in the hotel but its quiet at night and it has a clean kettle. I have never had anthing to complain about at this hotel.
Location
Check in was mix up had to wait for room to be clean staff was very nice got a drink foc
Convenient location
Dated
It’s looking a bit dated but clean and the staff are good
Location, it was a good location with parking and nearby everything
The room was very dirty, the sheets were full of dust , there was no fan in the room , there was no soap in the toilet and the room itself had a weird smell. We tried calling the number that was inside but no one answered.
Large room, very comfortable
Everything was fine
Location ok
Bed was so uncomfortable, bathroom not clean.
Very good for the price and all the other foods 10/10
we and our dog always been made very welcome by members of the staff. Bed is comfortable, warm and clean. staff are very considerate and polite.
nearly every time we stay there is never any blended whisky only various malts. that is my only grip
It was about £65 a night. It was in the town. Car park was handy. Served really good food. Had a great supper and breakfast. Bed was comfortable and it was quiet.
The place is falling to bits, and it seriously needs an upgrade. Staff were overwhelmed at the bar trying to serve and check people in as no one at the reception. Looked to be two senior staff serving and some young waiter/waitresses serving food. There was nowhere near enough for the volume of guests, people in the bar, and people eating meals. The room was roasting. There was no option of aircon or a fan in the room. The toilet had to be yanked about 10 times to flush. The main bar toilets said they had been signed checked at the time I went in, one toilet was blocked and level with faeces, the middle toilet had no lock, leaving one toilet with very little toilet roll. Greene King needs to invest in this hotel. We have stayed here many times over the last years, and it decline is shining bright.
Cosy clean and quiet
Nothing
i like how it is private from the pub
could of done with a fan with the heat
The position was near to a theatre.
The hotel needs modernising and caring for.
The staff
The bed had a massive rip where the mattresses zipped up causing a gap in the middle which made the bed completely uncomfortable
Nice pint
No hot water Cold bedroom no shower gel Poor communication from staff
Very poor quality of staff wouldn't stay here again
Nothing
The cleanliness of the rooms and how easy it was to commute
Couldn't fault anything
Locatiom. Room
Terrible assistant manager,really bad security overall day and night.crap food and shit bar service
All of the above
I would never stay again badly managed absolutely terrible security both day and night
Mediocre at best
I could probably spend an hour on this question but to round it up I can’t believe there wasn’t any toilet paper in the room,no hot water the light fittings on the wall were hanging off and for some unknown reason there’s a dog barking all night in one of the rooms nearby I actually deeded a rest in the morning I will definitely not be visiting again
Breakfast was ok .
Really badly managed only care about money and certainly not the customers safety or security.
The second room I got (first was having it's shower fixed and full of tools) was large enough, clean and comfortable.
The shower in the new room had an issue with the hot water and cold water mixing leaving me with a tepid shower - and this was when there was any hot water available late afternoon.
Not alot to totally honest.
The fire safety,poor security. Terrible food,disgusting toilets in the restaurant area.The way the management utilise there staff is abysmal.
Location
A little worn in the room. Could do with updating.
Loud parties in neighbouring rooms
Very convenient
Barhroom
Very clean comfortable room missed breakfast as I had to leave before service started but overall very happy
Everything was good
The staff
I was bitten thought the night and got a huge lump on my stomach
The lady on reception changed our room to a quieter room.
It was a bit dated , needs modernising . Also I was disturbed by some guests opening and shutting doors late at night.
Great price for what I needed it for. Fair price too
Nothing it was great
The staff.
The room really needed update very poor
Loved it was available at short notice, clean, bedding comfy, extras towels and pillows. Plenty of plug sockets to use when needed and TV in the room.
No air conditioning or if it did, it didn't work. The window didn't open fully and it was boiling hot, prices of items in vending machine, I get that you can walk down the road to the aldi or McDonald's but when you just want to sleep
Room was nice, a little dated and scruffy in places but to be expected. Overall very happy, turn that heater off in the morning is what I would suggest ha..
Was all ok
The bed was comfy
Very dated and dirty windows,
I have pictures of the dirt in bathroom and spoke to a member of staff that was supposed to get bk to me but didn’t bk to me we had to shower in my mums home who is end of life !!!
I’ll forward pictures as you will as u can see I asked cleaner to tidy it up but from pics you’ll clearly see it hadn’t been we would like a full refund
Lovely room, nice staff and great options for breakfast
Good place to be for all my contacts to see family in area
Convenient location to Blackburn town centre. Cheap and cheerful. Clean and comfortable room. I stayed in Room 6
It is what it is. £50 a night for a room, yes it's tired and could probably do with a little refurb. Would I take my missus to stay there? Absolutely NOT. Was it good for me to stay there for work purposes? Absolutely Yes! It's tired a bit dated and the pictures on hear are absolutely correct in there description. But for me it was actually alright. Clean rooms and comfy bed. That's all you want for £50! Top tip. Nobody on check-in desk/hatch. Ring bell or ring mobile number you'll get NO Answer!! Just go in main bar and tell them you're staying, they'll sort you out then!
Everything has been great, nice and clean, wonderfully helpful staff, tasty food, great placement for the event we attended. We'll deffinatly be back again next time the event comes around.
Only issue was the bed, it felt old, so we woke up a bit stiff. The last time we stayed here the bed was perfectly fine. We're assuming it's a one off thing.
The food and location, and ease of parking.
The bed wasn't very comfortable.
Location works well for quick access to the football ground or to the main town centre
Whilst I understand this room was priced lower than some alternatives, I still expect a basic standard of cleanliness and maintenance. Unfortunately, the condition of the room fell well below expectations. There were several maintenance issues, including broken tiles that exposed the wall behind them, a loose light fitting, and a window that would not close properly. There was also a stain on the floor that appeared to become larger during our stay, suggesting there may have been a leak beneath the flooring. Cleanliness was also a concern. When I touched the overhead fixture above the bed, a significant amount of dust fell onto me, indicating that the room had not been cleaned thoroughly. Combined with the general condition of the room, the overall impression was that it was dirty, neglected, and poorly maintained. Had I not already prepaid for the booking, I would have chosen to stay elsewhere. While I appreciate that this was a budget option, the issues experienced were not what I would consider acceptable at any price point.
Grosses Zimmer und sehr freundliches Personal. Direkt angeschlossen ein Restaurant, in dem es auch das Frühstück gibt.
The spacious room, bed was comfy, staff were friendly and helpful, I slept well too. I was visiting my daughter and needed space for myself, perfect location too, I will stay here again.
Bathroom could do with updating,
The cleanliness of the room.
It is in need of a revamp as the rooms are tired .
Le personnel est super sympa entre le pub et l'hôtel, c'est ce qui donne de la valeur a l'hôtel, le pub est agréable et parfait après un long trajet.
Les chambres devraient être rafraîchies, il y a des signes de vétusté, le mur qui se décompose, des tâches par-ci par-là, ce n'est pas très propre, de mauvaise odeur...
Location
A bit dated. The pub was busy during the champions league final and not enough staff on in my opinion. The staff who were on did a great job don’t get me wrong but I just think they would’ve benefited from an extra pair of hands. The ladies toilets ran out of toilet paper and it was quite a while before anyone restocked. The toilets could also do with a refurb.
Breakfast was good Bed comfy & bedding very clean Good position for where we wanted to be
Room wasn’t very clean (found someone else’s socks on the floor!!). Toilet seat was so loose I nearly fell off the loo!!. Room could do with a bit of TLC. Tried to ring the pub before the stay and it took me two days to get to speak to someone. Had to go searching for someone to be able to check in.
Great breakfast and friendly staff at the hungry horse Lovely people It is literally over the road from Blackburn rovers
Hotel is dated but does the job
Well sited with everything on site. Very friendly, helpful staff. Bar/restaurant was good value.
Tired rooms; damp, dusky smell and…..bedbugs?
Breakfast lacking in variety and on small size compared to similar Green King hotels , where we have previously stayed
How good the location is to where we were visiting
Nothing
Isot tilavat huoneet
Good food, good service, room comfortable and clean, exactly what I needed
nice friendly staff good breakfast served by matt
Comfy bed
Carpet could have been better vacuumed
The staff are hard working and lovely could not do enough
Really needs some refurbishment
We've stayed here several times to attend a Star Wars function at Ewood Park. Its perfectly situated for us to walk across to the event. Rear facing rooms are very quiet, the pub is great and a decent menu with good breakfasts. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Comfy bed.
Bathroom needs a bit of updating around the edges, grouting, caulking etc. I find the room quite dark ie the main lights are not very bright but nothing much to complain about its a decent room for a good price.
