About The Strawbury Duck Inn
The Strawbury Duck Inn is a traditional-style pub hotel on Overshores Road in Darwen, Lancashire, the kind of place built around a proper bar rather than a modern lobby. Its character comes through in the beamed feel of a country inn, with a garden and outdoor seating area for warmer days alongside the indoor bar and restaurant.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, drinks available in room, and breakfast to start the day, while free WiFi covers practical needs and 24 hour reception means arrival times are flexible. The restaurant serves food throughout the day and caters for children, and the on-site bar makes it easy to settle in for the evening without leaving the building.
Guests have free on-site parking, useful given the setting outside Darwen's centre, and there's golf and fishing nearby for those wanting to fill a day outdoors, plus further pubs, bars and restaurants within reach. Darwen Tower and Witton Country Park are both close by, making the inn a straightforward base for walking and exploring this part of Lancashire.
