“Nestled in Billington, this country hotel offers spacious rooms and suites, though some may find the beds too soft for ideal comfort; the views, however, are undeniably lovely, especially from rooms overlooking the green. The on-site health club, complete with a pool, sauna, and steam room, provides leisure options, while the Artisan Ribble Valley restaurant features locally sourced meals. It is a charming spot with some areas showing their age.”
