This is our Luxury pick for Burnley. It holds an official 5-star rating and a guest score of 8.8 out of 10 from 441 reviews. Drivers will like the free parking listed by the property. Families can look at the family rooms, and the hotel is tagged as pet friendly, so travellers with a dog should ask about the conditions.
Who should skip it? Anyone without a car who wants to stroll to shops and sights. The address is 593 Wheatley Lane Road, and the only nearby place in our data, the town of Colne, is about 6.8 km away. People who judge a hotel mainly on price may also hesitate, as some guests call the rates expensive.
Location and getting around
The lodge sits at 593 Wheatley Lane Road. Its location score from guests is 9.2, which is high, but our data does not confirm the distance to Burnley town centre or to the nearest station. Check that on a map before you book.
Colne is roughly 6.8 km away, an 85-minute walk by straight-line estimate. That is far. Plan on a car, a taxi or public transport for any trip beyond the grounds. Free parking is listed, which makes a car the simplest option.
What guests say
Two themes stand out in guest feedback. The staff are described as friendly, welcoming and helpful, and the reception gets warm comments. Breakfast also scores well, with guests praising tasty food, good ingredients and a wide choice.
The breakfast menu covers continental, full English or Irish, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed, so read the room description.
The main complaint is value. Some guests feel the high standards justify the cost. Others find the rates expensive for what they get.
