Dining: Fred's Brasserie

“This Blackburn hotel, with its award-winning spa and impressive grounds, strikes me as particularly suited for getaways focused on wellness and relaxation. Its historical architecture and modern rooms, along with dining at Fred's Brasserie, create a memorable experience; however, be aware some guests have reported inconsistent service. While the grounds and facilities shine, potential guests should note some reports of service inconsistencies.”
