Sunnyhurst Pub in Blackburn with Darwen

Good village pub with proper beer. Popular with walkers and dogs.

A great family friendly (including dogs) pub, with an ever changing selection of real ales, and an ever expanding range of spirits. It's in a fantastic location, ideal for a well deserved drink after a long (or short) trip through Sunnyhurst woods or the Moors/Darwen Tower. p.s. I am biased as my sister, Katie, is the Landlady, but don't take my word for it, find out for yourself.

Great walks and runs up here! The pub is great, good beer, they don't really do food but the snacks they have, sausage rolls (hot) are amazing!

Just went in for a pint, was OK and barman was friendly, nice to see that they are serving inch's cider.

Great little dog friendly pub, nice pint each after we'd taken the pup to the Tower, other half got the bonus of catching the last half of the match on tv too 😂

After a long walk with grandchildren we called in for a soft drink , lovely people and atmosphere.

excellent pub. Good service in a great place for a walk/ramble before food and drink .

Went here after a visit to darwen Tower, friendly locals. Great pint of guiness. Didnt try the sausage rolls but they look the buisness

Simple but nice food, a great place to relax after a walk up to Darwen tower.

Nice pub to visit after a walk up Darwen Tower

Enjoyed a beer here after a long walk through Sunnyhurst Wood with my dog

Great pub location at the bottom of the long walk to the Tower

Went in after a long hike in the local area, I cant comment on the food as i never ate there but my drinks were served to me by an extremely polite young lady called Vikki, what an absolutely charming young lady and a credit to the venue.

I came here a few weeks ago for a celebration of life (Kirsty) I got a little bit tipsy, I was looked after well. I’ve been again this evening and was sensible. It’s not a rowdy pub at all, it’s a warm ‘family’ pub and it’s very welcoming. Thankyou for a lovely evening xx

We came here last night and it was amazing. I can't wait to come back.

It's was OK. There was nice people there. I would go again

Very friendly and accommodating, very nice beer, located in a fantastic part of Darwen a stone throw away from the moors

Great pup, in a superb location. Staff is very friendly and great service. Thy had Pianoman Live playing when i went and he made the atmosphere fantastic. Highly recommended

Friendly welcoming and a great pint

A proper boozer- warm, comfortable, clean, good atmosphere, beer is excellent. Ideal place to stop after a dog walk around Sunnyhurst Woods or Darwen Tower.

Friendly staff, dog friendly, decent prices, just at the bottom of Darwen tower walk. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic little pub Definitely recommend

£4 for two watery weak Douwe Egberts coffees in paper cups seems a bit steep. Quite shocked a pub that's popular with walkers doesn't have a coffee machine?! Response to reply - it was two coffees. I was only told it was Douwe Egberts when they were brought out and I was standing waiting to pay. So you seem to be mistaken. It's always a good sign when a pub lies in response to a negative review instead of taking it on the chin!

Great walking areas around there, followed by a nice pint after, lovely pub

6 of us called in , friendly place. Great after a walk up the tower.

Good selection of lagers, great crisps as well.

Warm welcoming friendly and good beer a little treasure of a place

Great little pub, IPA was fresh as a daisy,good prices! Too Shame it's not my local, just what you need after a walk around sunny Hurst woods and Darwen tower

Nice little pub. Friendly staff and good prices.

Visited for a drink on our way back from Darwen Tower walk. Friendly staff with great outdoor sitting area.

Nice country pub serving exceptionally well kept Thwaite's beer. Limited choice beyond those but very welcoming, including to dogs. Recommended.

The pub has had a good makeover since I last visited, pre covid. Fresh bright wall paper, new carpets and lots if pictures, mainly of French Bulldogs wearing tiaras for some reason, and fancy quirky ornaments, including French Bulldogs, all of which you can buy. Whilst there the local French Bulldog walking group all met outside, I've never seen as many Frenchies in one place before, guess there's some connection to the pub and Frenchies, I'm guessing tge owner lives them.

Great little country boozer, friendly bar staff, nice pint, in comfortable country pub surroundings

Lovely local with a warm atmosphere and good choice of drinks

Lovely country pub with great bar staff

Lovely local, ideal spot for an after walk beer.

Lovely place. Kids loved it. Locals and staff very friendly definitely going back.

A lovely little pub situated at the top of Sunnyhurst woods. Very cosey inside and most interior decoration is available for sale!It can get quite busy here what with all the locals and can get a bit cramp because it's only small inside. The owners should be proud of this little establishment though and I'll be sure to be visiting again soon!

Great Service, great local pub highly recommended

Great little Thwaites pub near the top end of Sunnyhurst woods with some roadside parking and a small car park a short walk up towards the woods. Seating is around tables in two rooms as well as at tables & benches outside. Walkers with muddy boots, children and dogs are welcome (water in a bowl provided for dogs). There are usually 4 or 5 different real ales on the pumps and I've never had a bad one yet. The bar staff are friendly especially the woman from Glasgow. The decor is interesting and there are often devorative items from a local retailer on show and for sale. There are TVs in both rooms which have both been set to sports channels whenever I've been there in the late afternoon. It can get a bit noisy if there's an important football match on but usually the general atmosphere is very relaxing with the chatter of contented guests enjoying a drink, packet of crisps and each others company.

Very nice and animal friendly

Lovely pub dog friendly beautifully placed after a nice walk up to darwen tower

Cosy and friendly pub. And dog friendly. Great for walkers

Lovely, cosy family and dog friendly pub on the start of one of the walking trails up to jubilee Tower.

Great, friendly local pub. Always a few tasty ales to choose from.

Lovely little pub at the end of a long walk. Great choice of beers and bitters. Great staff too!

Unfortunately no food but a good selection of ales and a warm welcome on the way to or from the Jubilee Tower

Always one of our fave pubs to end up in after a walk. Shame they don't do food any more but they always have a good range of ales on and sell chilli twists (best crisps ever invented). Great place to chill, play games, get cosy and enjoy a few drinks no matter what the weather.

Cracking local pub with a great atmosphere. Ideal for walkers, cyclists, runners. Great for a quiet pint in the evening too.

Great local with good selection of cask beers

Warm welcome; down to earth; nothing too fancy; with black pudding and mustard flavour crisps. What's not to like!

Nice pub in a lovely setting but drinks quite expensive.

Decent pint, friendly locals when we took shelter during a mid bike ride hailstorm

Excellent pub, with beautifull walking trails up to the tower and accross the moors. The sunnyhurst is clean and tidy with friendly staff, dogs allowed and great beer what more could you ask for

Superb olde world pub with clocks to purchase.dog friendly .excellent cask ales front and rear beer gardens.quiz nights Friendly staff.

Nice and quiet place to relax :)

Lovely small old feel pub. Friendly staff, good beers and muddy wet dogs very welcome.

Lovely small pub, great accessories available to buy.

Warm welcome, great selection of cask ales.

Great little pub after a couple of hours walking....

Cosy pub. Interesting beers from Thwaites.

A pub in my home town. Its been there as long as I know and it is an awesome place to share a drink with friends.

Great walks.. Met lots of nice people

Delightful local pub at the top of Tockholes rd, Darwen. Selection of local beers and some brilliant walking on the west pennine moors or in sunnyhurst woods. This is also the running 'home' of Darwen Dasher's running club.

Great pub nice and friendly with at least two real ales on.

Really cosy with a relaxed friendly atmosphere

Nice walking the dogs through here. P.s pick your mess up

Beautiful country pub, friendly locals and bar staff... Dog friendly and a perfect end to a country walk... Highly recommended.

Used to come here with all my school mates back in the day so nostalgia figures heavily - the pool table's dissapeared, but still a sound pub to visit after a walk.. or a "sesh" if stamina remains..

A nice pub nit much of a beer garden!

Has some really good guest ales.

Excellent walk through the woods by the stream. Good pub at the other end. Unfortunately the pub no longer serves food.

Dog friendly, great staff and always plenty of ales on

Beautiful woodland walks Unfortunately the last visit was married by a landslip toward the reservoir end, would hope this can be put right soon.
