Easy to check in and parking was adequate for a large van. Meals were still being served beyond 8pm which was good as I was a late arrival. All staff were very polite and friendly.

Darwen is my home town so it would have been nice to stay a little longer in order to catch up with a few more friends and family.
This is the first time we have stayed at The Whitehall but it won’t be the last. We were made to feel so welcome and we thoroughly enjoyed the short time we spent there.

The breakfasts were a farce , no supervision of staff , a manager was no where to be seen. They ran out of several basics and the food on the buffet was stewed and dried up. No bowls and the waitress thought muesli was the same as granola.
Fawty towers springs to mind!!!!

A good traditional hotel. Helpful friendly staff. Good breakfasts. Our standard room with bathroom was absolutely fine, really clean and with all facilities, but a little small, should have booked a bigger room. Nice bar and lounge area. Lovely terrace and gardens, had it been summer.

The pub itself is fantastic - the road to it is not.
The pub itself is fantastic - the road to it is not. Careful driving is needed and a small car a good thing. Unusually though, it has a train station right below it (request stops) so you wouldn't need to travel by car. Dogs are very well catered for.

The truly delightful former country home of The Hindle Family now converted into a splendid hotel Everything here was first class and the charming Greek general manager has an exceptional team of professionals this truly is a little jewel of a hotel which I consider myself most fortunate to have discovered and please don’t get me started on the fabulous breakfasts available !
We,ve stayed at the property before for a family reunion so we new it would be good for another family get together
the property is stocked with everything you could need should you wish to cook and entertain Lovely view of Darwen Tower
and Blackpool
Our host even gifted us with a bottle of wine and eggs which was an added bonus
Food at hotel was excellent - good choice and presented beautifully. We had both breakfast and evening meal and everything was to a high standard. Hotel was also a distilery and products were available to buy.
Fantastic breakfast, great country pub with several walks to the nearby reservoirs, really good pub grub and the service is always with a smile. We always stop here if we are seeing family in Darwen. Love it!
The breakfast was very good - my husband was particularly impressed with it. The hotel grounds were pleasant and spacious. The staff were very friendly and pleasant, particularly the Polish receptionist.
I was amazed at how beautiful the place was - keep it up! The staff kept things very pleasant, guided me around the hotel, and got me settled immediately into the room. Breakfast was awesome and fast!
Lovely property with stunning views and brilliantly furnished with everything you could need for a stay on Darwen. Jude and Peter were fantastic hosts and we'd love to stay again when in the area.
