Set in the rolling hills just outside of Blackburn is the wonderful Stanley House Hotel & Spa. With a mix of the modern rooms (that I stayed in) and the bedrooms in the grade 2 listed Manor House - this hotel really does have everything for everyone. Attached to it can be found a great spa for all your pampering needs as well!
I was here on business so didn't manage to make use of the spa facilities but from the reviews I've found it's got a good reputation. My room was situated in the new block of 18 rooms that have been built. First off - it's a huge room with a huge bath and bed! I know that I did have the disabled room (I don't know what it is about that - it's about the 5th hotel that have given me that room this year!) but still a colleague had a very similar sized room as well. The bed was comfortable (although I did have to ask for non feather pillows) The shower was situated in a wet room/walk in style. The only minor gripe on this was that the temperature controls were situated away from the shower head itself - so you had to step out the shower to change it but still a good shower and I love a good shower!
The rooms obviously being newly built are very modern inside with each featuring a nice set of artwork above the bed, and a good range of furniture and lighting. A plus of course that it also had sockets by the bed to charge your phone. Nice big TV mounted on the wall as well which could be swung into position for the bed or the sofa.
