Hotel description Dunkenhalgh Hotel & Spa Blackburn
Renovated in 2005, this country house and spa hotel was first constructed more than 700 years ago. The original turrets, arcades, and wood panelling lend the building, which is decorated in a very modern way, a historical ambience. The hotel comprises a total of 180 rooms, of which one is a junior suite and three are wheelchair-accessible, over three floors. Guests will be received in an ancient welcoming lobby, and can deposit any valuables in the hotel safe for the duration of their stay. Culinary options include an elegant bar and an air-conditioned restaurant with demarcated non-smoking area. A conference room is available for business meetings and conferences, and room service completes the offerings. There are on-site parking spaces available for those arriving by car.
