Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is perfectly located in the center of town, making it convenient to explore the area. The rooms are very clean and the bed is very comfy, providing a comfortable stay. The service, including housekeeping and the welcoming drink, adds a nice touch to the experience. However, being located in the village center on a Bank holiday weekend can lead to some noise disruptions. The dining experience, with included Neapolitan pizza, is a delightful treat. Overall, the hotel offers great value for money.
The hotel is in the heart of Clitheroe, with comfortable rooms and great facilities, but the heavy trucks passing by could be noisy at times. The service was excellent, especially the prompt housekeeping and welcoming drink. The location is convenient, just steps away from a restaurant across the road. The dining experience, including the included cheese rolls, was satisfactory. The facilities were modern and well-maintained.
The hotel is ideally located in the center of town, making it convenient for exploring the area and enjoying local dining options. The rooms are spacious and modern with great facilities, but the bed could be more comfortable. The service was top-notch with attentive housekeeping and a lovely welcome drink. However, the dining experience was overpriced for the hot food items offered. Overall, a decent stay with good value for money.
