A characterful nineteenth-century mansion house offering hotel accommodation, restaurant dining, weddings and private events within six acres of landscaped grounds.
Astley Bank Hotel is set within a beautifully maintained nineteenth-century mansion house surrounded by six acres of landscaped gardens.
Operating as a hotel since 1997, it offers a choice of standard, executive and four-poster rooms, combining the character of the original house with the comfort expected from a modern stay. Its peaceful setting feels removed from the bustle while remaining close to Darwen, Blackburn and the M65.
Othello’s Restaurant serves freshly prepared dishes built around seasonal produce, with ingredients sourced locally wherever possible.
The classically decorated restaurant takes its name from Astley Bank’s striking stained-glass window depicting a scene from Shakespeare’s Othello. Alongside the main dining room, private spaces are available for celebrations, while the bar, lounge and summer terrace offer more relaxed places to enjoy drinks, lunch or afternoon tea.
Children’s dishes are available, and the team asks guests with allergies or dietary requirements to contact the restaurant before visiting.
With its mansion-house setting and six acres of landscaped grounds, Astley Bank provides a memorable backdrop for weddings of every size.
The hotel is licensed for civil ceremonies and offers spaces for intimate gatherings as well as larger celebrations. Its main ceremonial space overlooks the gardens, with capacity for up to 120 daytime guests and 180 in the evening, while a dedicated wedding team helps couples shape the ceremony, dining, entertainment and finishing touches around their plans.
Wedding accommodation, private preparation spaces and a choice of packages are also available, allowing the ceremony, reception and overnight stay to take place in one setting.
