decent location, nice grounds, greeted with a hole in the roof and a damp smell with buckets of dirty water in the room next to the bar, still there 2 weeks later.

Tom Business - 03/05/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

First stay was ok, had to change rooms, breakfast was poor, soggy croissant, no jam as requested, yoghurt was far from premium, tropicana was advertised but unknown brand given, not worth the £7 )or £10 if paid on the day), poor value and poor quality, every day they got something wrong. Booked a second stay but didn't book breakfast, after booking went through noticed an extra £10 per night for parking, bearing in mind there is nothing near this hotel and they have tons of parking so it's not as if people are going to use it as a free car park and nip into town. This was removed when I complained. Checking in meant standing around for 10 mins, using the reception phone and ringing direct got no answer, eventually wandered into the kitchen and found someone. Rooms are decent size. Was checking again online for another booking, didn't book as the prices had gone up and hotel did not answer my query. 2 days later they sent me confirmation of my "booking" emailed back, out of office from person who sent it, used an email I used just a week ago, bounced back as no longer in use, phone just rings out. Found another hotel .

Comfortable stay

Stephen Business - 30/04/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

The location on the edge of the town was good with access to main roads and countryside. I found the room very comfortable, TV was fantastic and WiFi worked well. Hotel staff were helpful and friendly and overall a good stay considering the current circumstances and restrictions.

Stephen B. Business - 28/04/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Always a good stay with good service. An extra effort has been put in place to support during the Covid crisis, which is great. The only down side is that I feel the rooms are at the point of needing refurbishing.

The hotel have worked hard to maintain strict guidelines and processes during the pandemic. The check in process was quick and the receptionist was friendly and helpful. The hotel was well presented, clean with clear systems in place to maintain safety throughout our stay. The bedroom was clean although there are no longer toiletries. Overall a good stay.

Long stay!

Christina Y. Solo - 07/04/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

I have been staying at Dunkenhalgh for months now; I have enjoyed my stay and the staff are great! There are issues with the water leak in the bathroom- we knew that for a long; despite this, I am happy to stay in the same room. Housekeeping can be variable; bins/ tea, coffee, milk/ cleanliness...requires chasing up sometimes, occasionally I have to chase up my email request... but overall, I am very happy with my stay and will continue to stay for another few months, I think! x

Dear Christina Y., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Mercure Blackburn Dunkenhalgh Hotel & Spa. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback. I will share your comments with our team. We will look to improve regularity of housekeeping visits and once Maintenance are back on duty will prioritise the bathroom works. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope your future stays will meet your expectations. Sincerely, Ivan Lynch General Manager 01…00 h6…

Overnight business trip

Anonymous Business - 05/04/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Given current lockdown restrictions my hotel stay was fine. The evening meal via room service was ok and breakfast was ready before the collection time which suited me as I was early too. The room I stayed looked to be recently refurbished and was comfortable. However, there was no documentation to provide reception telephone number or services. There was also dust on the drawer doors which made me question how recently the room had been cleaned. However the bathroom was clean and the shower was nice and hot.

Good location.

Donna Business - 01/04/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

I have now stayed at this hotel several times and found it easy to find and quite comfortable. Staff are pleasant and helpful. The menu is very limited and at times the food is not very hot when it arrives at your room. On one occasion the staff member placed the food, not on a tray on the floor rather than handing it to me.

Dear Donna, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Mercure Blackburn Dunkenhalgh Hotel & Spa. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. We are looking to add some additional specials to the menu mid-week prior to a new menu introduction next month. We do try and get food delivered as quickly as possible, some rooms are a considerable distance from the kitchen but every effort will be made to ensure improvement on points raised. We appreciate your sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely, Ivan Lynch General Manager 01…00 h6…
