    We always stay at this amazing hotel/restaurant when we are back in Burnley visiting family. The location in the countryside in Fence just on the outskirts of the town is great. The rooms clean and very comfortable and the restaurant is really great inside and on the outdoor patio. The staff are what really makes each visit special for us though; super friendly and incredibly helpful. Highest recommendation.

    While the staff were pleasant enough, it was very quiet. I was somewhat astounded by the female member of staff, who thought it was acceptable to pick a very excitable puppy up and let it lick her face, all while in her uniform.... a few minutes later she was stood in the kitchen talking to the chef. The same member of staff was then seen kneeling on the floor, petting the same puppy. I found this extremely unhygienic and amazed that a more senior member of staff, didn't challenge this behaviour...unfortunately we won't be visiting again.
