Having stayed at this hotel for the first time, it proved to be a 'revelation'. Most of the other hotels at which we have stayed in this area have proved to be found 'wanting'. Astley Bank is a lovely hotel, the rooms are spacious and airy, the staff are peasant and helpful, and the restaurant is excellent and really good... More

We met friends here for Sunday dinner and were very impressed. The lovely new dining room extension has a very nice atmosphere, the staff were pleasant and efficient and the food was very good. Three courses for £21.50 isn't the cheapest Sunday lunch around but it was very good and represents good value for money. All 4 of us sent... More

We spent two nights at the Hotel. Our room was lovely with a beautiful bathroom, all very clean and comfortable and looked out on the gardens, the grounds are lovely. The public areas have been vastly improved since our last stay. We were in the old part of the Hotel which has more character than the extension where we were... More

The staff are wonderful, the food is amazing, especially their soups. I was on the 3rd floor and had a beautiful view from my window. There is no... More

Astley Bank is located towards the south of Darwen, but could be a hundred miles away.

I have stayed here many times, mainly on business, but also for pleasure. The Food is very good, the service is... More

This is a lovely hotel in an elevated position in Darwen, with a really interesting history. The restaurant serves fantastic food at a reasonable price. Some of the rooms are a bit dated so ask for the newly renovated rooms. All in all a great find.

Very impressed with our overnight stay. The staff on reception were very pleasant and the entrance to the hotel was warm and welcoming. The bedroom was spotless, tastefully decorated with a nicely tiled bathroom. Had until 10am to go for breakfast, which again was quality, help yourself to cereals and fruit juice and then choose from a menu which was... More
