The reception is a tad dark, as are the rooms, but the room was pretty good as a whole. I certainly would not describe the room we stayed in as outdated (as some people have describe there rooms in other reviews).
The receptionists were very friendly and so were the bar staff.
The gym was ok but the equipment was certainly getting old.
I got a good deal on the Friday but didn't really fancy paying double on the Saturday so went to a different hotel. If the price is right though, I wouldn't hesitate staying here again.

I stayed here to celebrate my granddaughters birthday. Last year We stayed at the Worsley Marriott Golf club hotel and it was a lot lot better.
I booked it 2 weeks prior and asked if something could be put into the room as a Surprise. I was happy to pay. I was told "yes"
On arrival the room did not contain a surprise, however I called reception and they brought a sweet card and some goodies.
I upgraded to an upperdeck room for £20 more and it really was not worth it. You couldn't flush the chain and it was pokey.
The worst experience was with the lady behind the desk in the gym area. She was diabolically rude. I can't even tell you, she was the type of woman who looks at you as though she hates you either because you are pretty or ugly. I wanted to look at the pool with my girl and she just talked on the phone for a few minutes. When she came off the phone I asked where the pool was. She said first in the left most perfunctorily. We walked past it, my fault, I came back and asked where it was again. She was on the phone again so just pointed. We went back and found it this time. We left and thanked her but she was on the phone so didn't acknowledge us at all.
We returned at 10 the next morning and to my dread she was behind the desk. We approached and she said to sign. We signed and went through. I looked for towels and somebody informed me they were behind the desk at reception. Oh no! I thought. I didn't want to go back to the desk but we had to. I asked for a towel and asked why she had not mentioned us needing them she said. "I thought you had them!!" We clearly had nothing at all in Our hands as we had put our costumes on under our clothes but no bag or anything. I rolled my eyes and left. She shouted after me. "You are so rude!" I never said anything and am not confrontational Ever!! My granddaughter was upset and asked why the lady was shouting at us. I was quite scared to be honest.
Apart from Miss angry. Helen and the reception and breakfast staff were wonderful. Very pleasant. The lady who welcomed us in to breakfast has saved my granddaughters cuddly toy for us the next day. Room service were equally lovely.
I will never go back there simply because of miss angry. It ruined our stay.

We went on a special offer of £49 for dinner & bed. The room was ok but the walls were painted a dark grey & the picture on the wall was dark grey too which made it all look a bit dull. Tired room in need of some decorating. Bed was way too soft so every time my hubby moved the whole bed shook so not a comfortable nights sleep. We asked for a morning paper but you have to go to reception to get it as they've been taken off the doors in the past if left outside the room. Dinner was ok but a very limited menu. Not sure I would visit again.

Have to say we had a wonderfull stay - staff very helpful. Asked for a football match to be shown and they were very helpful and went out of their way when I sent a request through. Great pool and facilities. Wouldn't hesitate to stop here again. Well done all

Came with a hen party group, just to use the spa. £10 per person to use the facilities, at first I thought that wasn't so bad however got past reception, got changed and all there was, was A pool, 2 rooms either side for sauna and steam a cold shower and a place to lie with one hot tub
Never been here before and I thought it would be better, I wanted the hen party to last a good few hours here however all you could really was swim and we didnt want that so ended up staying for 2 hrs apporx
The pub near the reception is overpriced too, £2.30 for a small coke...and £5.00 for a G & T
disappointed due to being overpriced for what you get , we all just hoped their would be more to do for £10 entry
Cannot comment on hotel its self as we didn't stay over
Did have a good day as we made the most of it :)

Been here several times great size rooms.
Stay mainly at front part of hotel
But this time we stayed at the added on part at the rear.
The room are still very spacious with the bathroom large and disabled access.
But the decor of the room I was in 181 left a lot to be desired.
Where the radiator under window had been moved old holes and raw plugs left sticking out the same in bath room where soap dispenser had been moved
Mastic round windows need replacing.
There was a massive water stain in the ceiling from a previous leek and smelt bit damp and musty.
The location is great for trips to Blackburn Burnley Manchester bolton and bury it's self
The facilities at the village are great swimming pool and gym spa etc
The breakfast was a bit ropey in busy periods
Not sure if the hotel has new owners but it needs a bit of tlc but love stay there for are football weekends away when we are up tut north

Had a lovely stay here! Was welcomed and helped through reception with bags! Had a lovely upper deck room! The Starbucks was a perfect extension fo our lovely weekend! Was great to see they have a extensive gym and an amazing pool! The pub and restaurant are a great place to eat! Some great deals on, we decided to take one of the deals from the restaurant for two courses and had the soup and the teriyaki salmon! Really great!

This hotel is a great place for a business stay, fantastic gym facilities. Great choice of food, the meal I had was ok, nothing special but enough to keep me happy, it's good you can eat in two different restaurants or room service.
The room was well equipped with an iron and kettle already in the room which for me is a real must, it's the most anointing thing when they aren't provided.
The only problem and this may not apply to all was that the iron in the room turned out to be dirty and made a mark on my shirt. So perhaps a little more care and attention when cleaning the room is needed.
Anyway generally recommended and quite good value.

My partner and I were only here for one night and were rather pleased with the place. The room was nice and spacious, and the double bed was so wide you could roll over 3 times and still not fall out of it. The room has this key card which took us a while to figure out (the instructions on it are a bit unclear), especially when it comes to using the lights in the room (when we got there it was quite dark so it took us a while to figure out that we had to leave it in a slot on the wall for them to work). Then again, this could also be due to the fact that we are rather simple people.
After reading some of the other reviews we were expecting the hotel to be a bit loud as it is often used for functions and parties. The staff were obviously aware of that and tried to be accommodating by placing us in a wing of the hotel that was away from the other guests on a wedding party. We did hear them in the night, but we were prepared for this and packed some earplugs in advance.
Breakfast was nice and there was a lot of variety, though the bread and pastry were a bit stale.
Overall, it was a good stay and we will stay here again.

This place has a crazy configuration due to its build ons. To get to your room, its possible to take the lift up one floor, then after a bit of a walk, have to take a second lift down one floor to get to your room. You may find it a bit of a challenge after spending too long at the bar.
Other than that, a pleasant surprise is that some rooms back on to the quaint little river (complete with rapids) at the back of the hotel. If you crack the wind open at night, you can fall asleep to the lovely sound of tumbling water, I kid you not.
To prove I am not joking, ask for rooms in the similar facing as 184. I got free Wi-Fi and breakfast is very good as well.
Food in the restaurant is ok and reasonably priced. Staff are friendly. Prices are cheaper than average for the quality, in my opinion.
Oh yeah, the car park is very close to the entrance. Makes a difference when it's pi**ing down, let me tell you.
