As titled really. Does anyone know of any good hotels in this area?
I'm down there all of next week at short notice with work and am trying to get booked into somewhere nice that has a pool and gym ideally.
Any suggestions would be greatly apreciated. Cheers
Park Hall in Euxton
(obviously try late rooms.com)
The [url= http://www.mercure.com/gb/hotel-6617-mercure-blackburn-dunkenhalgh-hotel-and-spa/index.shtml ]Dunkenhalgh[/url] is good and has gym etc. Avoid the Best Western Mytton Fold though.
Kilhey Court fits your bill
Maybe a bit too far, but The Last Drop fits the bill - handy for some good riding too.

Thanks for the suggestions all. Will have a look at those on my lunch break.
Sadly there's no scope for riding as it will be early starts and late finishes (oh how I love my job!!)
Cheers
How late's late? 7.30 start for a night ride do-able? if so, there are a few of us out that neck of the woods
Yeah should be away by 730 at least a couple of nights but unfortunately I dont have any lights... Or experience of night riding... I was going to get some lights this month but the car stung me for a good few hundred quid!
TO be honest... that's kind of banking on us not being underwater by then. Which is a big if.
Wednesday or Thursday nights are our usual night riding sortees. I've got a decent spare set of lights if you fancy giving it a go
Thanks very much for the offer - that sounds really good. I'll drop you a mail with my mobile number on etc. and we can try and sort something if you're not flooded down there by then...
Cheers
I am chorley based - Binners mail me as well if it is a weds ride as i ride tuesday anyway and cannot do Thursday
OP I can also lend lights and show you round Rivvy - Chorley if required
Nice one. Thanks Binners and Junkyard!
JY Shall we aim for Rivi on Wednesday evening then?
Aye sounds like a plan
I miss the northern crew. They are nicer than the southern crew.
Marriot at Preston isn't bad either.
More importantly, it looks like we've got another STW Rivi nightride planned. I'd be up for that. I'll keep an eye on this thread.
Moly, we love you too.
We do indeed. And here's a vid of our previous Rivi run to bring back some happy summer memories
There is the Premier Inn in Chorley which is right next door to David Lloyd. I think you can get a day pass to the gym for seven quid and it's near a reasonable pub and easy to get to from the motorway, or the A road to Blackburn.
Video looks sweet! Cheers for the info TD.
What an exotic part of the country you're lucky enough to be sent to...
Traildog makes a good point.
The David Lloyd next to the Premier Inn is really good, we used to be members there until we moved. Pub the other side of it serves good food and has a couple of good beers on.
Best thing is that you can cycle form your door straight up to Healey Nab and round the reservoirs to Rivington.
Who's up for Rivi next Wednesday night then? 7.45 kick off?
I'm not normally one to let the [url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/pr2 ]weather forecast[/url] derail my riding but I don't fancy being on top of Winter Hill in a thunderstorm ever again. (Once was definately enough)
Its not looking to clever, but a few of us are going to give it a go anyway.
Meeting up on the road up to the top barn at 7.30. Not going to bother with Winter Hill Belmont if its going to rain, as it'll be a bog anyway. We'll be mucking about lower (ish) down. Heally Nab and the gardens
If the weathers truly awful, that's why god invented pubs
