According to Tripadvisor, Blackburn has 10 top hotels and B&Bs to choose from, so we've created a list of the best properties to stay at in the town, ranked solely on traveller recommendations.

Here are the top 10 traveller ranked hotels in Blackburn:

• Premier Inn, Blackburn Town centre - with 518 reviews and four and a half stars out of five, Cathedral Square's Premier Inn comes top of the list for recommendations. Rooms start from £47 per night and with views of the stunning Blackburn Cathedral and Blackburn town centre, what more could you want for your money?

• The Millstone, Mellor - in at second with 631 reviews and also four and a half stars out of five is Mellor's The Millstone, which has rooms with breakfast included starting from £100 per night. Perfect for an out of town night away.

• Hampton by Hilton - coming third on the list, the newly opened Hampton by Hilton scores exactly the same as first and second placed hotels, but from just 14 reviews.

• The Willows - next up is the Willows on Haslingden Road, and with rooms from £50 per night, their four and a half stars out of five from just 66 reviews will make for a decent home away from home stay.

• Chimneys Guest House - the guest house on Preston New Road has rooms starting at £79 per night and with a four and a half star out of five rating, and with one guest even calling it 'the best cheap guest house in Blackburn', Chimneys could be the perfect place for a close-to-home getaway.
• The Feilden's Arms - guests have reviewed the food here as top notch, so if you're looking for somewhere to stay contact the venue themselves for prices and availability, but with four stars out of five it's hard to see why you wouldn't enjoy a stay at this Whalley Road property.

• Hill View Private Hotel - the Hill View only has two stars out of five but for people on a budget who are looking for a place to crash for a night at King George's Hall or need a stop-over on the way to destinations further afield, then this Preston New Road property will be perfect.
