As you have probably seen, last weekend me and the husband
ventured ‘oop North’ to Blackburn for our friends’ wedding at Stanley House
Hotel & Spa in Mellor, Lancashire.
The night before the big day we stayed in a Travelodge - it
was definitely not the nicest one I have stayed in as it was above a service
station, stuffy and a bit ming all round. We only paid £20 for it, but to be
honest I’d have forked out a bit more for a decent night’s sleep and not having
to hear the hacking cough the person in the room above had all night.

After our Travelodge nightmare we were SO glad we had booked
into a room at the wedding venue for Saturday night. We checked in during the
wedding reception and were ecstatic to find an amazing room with a lush green
view.

The room was so light and airy thanks to the floor to
ceiling window, the bed was possibly the most comfortable we have slept in – I
want to buy one for myself. I should have had a sneak peek at the brand before
I left .
I’m a bit of a hotel bathroom snob and ours got top marks
from me. The shower was huge and powerful, so refreshing after a long day spent
as a wedding guest and even more welcome after the Travelodge’s shower that should
be renamed ‘trickle’. It was so well
thought out and luxurious. The thick, fluffy towels also scored a few extra
plush points.

Luckily we got breakfast included so we both tucked into a
hearty Full English before we left, which was served in Mr Fred’s restaurant.
Luckily the weekend was gloriously sunny and it was emphasised in this room
thanks to the light and airy layout.

Not only was the wedding fantastic, but the hotel was
amazing too. I spied that they had a spa, so I’m dying to revisit for a girls’
spa weekend. Hopefully I won’t be waiting too long before I return.
