Burnley has a range of places to stay, wether it be for a week or a night.
The oaks.
Let’s start with the most ‘prestigious’ in the town. The Oaks hotel, now owned by best western is known as the best hotel in the town for its luxurious feel and spa but prices are far from cheap. A family of four will be looking at £65.00 for a single nights stay and if you want breakfast well that will be a total of £143.00.
It’s also some time away from the centre. The hotel is often well received with one person saying “The staff are excellent and friendly” although others are not to keen on the hotel such as their food “The cooked breakfast on both mornings was inedible, very dried up and cold”
Holiday Inn.
A cheaper place to stay would be Burnley’s Holiday Inn. Standard charges of £62.00 for a family of four in a single room which includes a double bed and a sofa bed for the kids. This may seem a bit expensive for what you get and well, to be honest, that’s because it is. Typical of a chain hotel the Holiday Inn gets decent review with the likes Douglas leaving the hotel happy “I enjoyed my stay at this hotel, the location was convenient and this modern hotel was clean and appealing.”
Premier Inn.
Another mainstream/chain hotel option is Burnley’s Premier Inn, It’s very close to the town centre, walking distance (on a warm night) offers a free car park and Brewster pub/restaurant opposite.
A family of four will be looking at £63 for a single nights stay. So, as you’d expect, almost the same of Holiday Inn. The Premier Inn gets a good review off most with Martyn saying “Nicely set off the road with plenty of parking. The staff were all very helpful and pleasant”
The Omerod B&B.
A lovely family run B&B in the town is The Ormerod. A five minute walk from the town centre, The Omerod is nestled on the corner of Ormerod road (hence the name) Backing onto the Leeds Liverpool canal and opposite Thompson park the B&B offers some of the best surroundings in the town.
Very popular with cyclists riding along the Leeds Liverpool canal. (see other blog posts for more info on canal and park) One reviewer on Tripadvisor was impressed with their stay at The Ormerod.”This is a comfortable, small hotel/Guest house on a road junction in Burnley. The room I had was spacious ,light and comfortable.”
Rosehill House Hotel.
A quirky, old fashioned hotel found towards the top of Burnley. Built in 1850 this hotel is pretty cheap for the standard of luxury and all round oddness you get. Rates change dependent on season but a family of four will be able to stop there for a night at a cost of around £55-£65. Not bad really. Rosehill House rarely gets a bad review and most people describe their stay like Aleem, who told me the hotel was “A quirky, old fashioned wonderful place to stay” I also spoke to Emma the Hotel manager who told me why Rosehill House is so nice “The main reason is it’s unique and nothing like premier Inn or Travel Lodge. It’s a grade 2 listed victoria building, with original ceilings and fire places. The hotel is extravagant in respect to other hotels, very unique and family run, so focus on customer service we think it’s second to non.”
The not so nice.
On your arrivale in Burnley you may notice a large building named ‘The Kierby Hotel’ I’ll cut straight to the point and tell you to avoid this place at all costs. My last experience of the place was a few months ago(January2013) when helping a friend film a music video, the theme of the video was a run down 70’s hotel. I feel this should say enough.
