“Nestled near Pendle Hill and the Forest of Bowland, this 4-star Clitheroe retreat strikes me as a particularly solid choice for those seeking both outdoor pursuits and relaxing comfort; spacious gardens and an extensive menu, including vegetarian and gluten-free options, add to the appeal. The home-cooked meals featuring local ingredients stood out, as did the reported attentiveness of the staff. I imagine the non-smoking policy and focus on safety provide extra peace of mind.”

amazing foodlast roomlovely beer gardennoisy dining

I found the food to be amazing. It's a place i would consider bringing my extended family for a meal. the deserts were good. i'd definitely consider staying again, but would maybe want a slightly bigger room as the one i had was the last one available last minute. the beer garden was a nice bonus!

I noticed a minor thing. The dining in the conservatory felt a little too hot, and also a bit noisy. it seemed quite full, so it wasn't the most relaxing experience. the hotel room also required curtains closed for privacy.
