“The Fernhurst seems a mixed bag, really showing its age in some rooms while boasting a genuinely welcoming bar with real ales. Its proximity to Ewood Park is a definite plus for Rovers fans, though I'd hope they sort out the spotty Wi-Fi and room maintenance issues soon. If you're not expecting perfection and prioritize location for a match, it could be a decent, budget-friendly option.”

friendly staffgood selection

The staff were friendly and very helpful . Breakfast was great and offered a good selection of items. It was also reasonably priced. The location is quiet, at the rear of the building, overlooking a woodland area.

The room had only one accessible plug socket, a slight inconvenience.
