We travelled here for a wedding & it really is in a lovely spot.. Disappointed with the rooms though really expected more for the money.. Boiler also very noisy which disturbed us during the night somewhat.. The food at the wedding reception was lovely but I was disappointed with the vegetarian breakfast I really do like to have veggie sausages... More

Thank you for your overall positive review. We've never previously been asked for vegetarian sausages and it would be unviable to stock them unless kept frozen, which would be against our ethos of all freshly made locally-sourced food. Our award-winning kitchen team, when asked, will accommodate all dietary requirements and we ask everyone about this on making accommodation bookings so... More

We recently held our civil ceremony and wedding reception at the Moorcock Inn. We were first struck by the stunning location and olde-worlde ambience. It then became apparent on speaking to members of staff, that they were perfectly happy to tailor the wedding WE wanted, which made a pleasant change from other venues where rules and regulations were more the...

Thank you for your great wedding testimonial. We've had some great function reviews this year that can be seen on our website word for word. With regard to the boiler, we acknowledge that on rare occasions when the hotel is fully occupied, loss of hot water can be a problem, because someone may leave a tap on and run off... More

This hotel has a lovely location overlooking Pendle Hill, Clitheroe and moorland, yet it needs major work to make this an enjoyable place to stay. The exterior of the hotel, and its extensive land, are tired, faded and unkempt and closer inspection reveals that much of the structure looks like it might fall down at any moment! The bar and,...

We took over this hotel 4 months ago as leaseholders and have inherited a lot of the issues the reviewer refers to. As leaseholders, we are primarily the operators of the hotel and as such the reviewers acknowledges that the standards of service were very good. The freeholders are primarily responsible for the condition of the hotel. Obviously, good general... More

Worth the trip off the A59 up to this old country inn for the stunning views over the Ribble Valley and Pendle Hill. Staff were very welcoming and met the new owner, Steven, who is also a top Chef, as the food was good local stuff - the mixed grill was excellent value. Room was clean and comfortable and had...

We stayed on the 7th and 8th August and we are frequent visitors to the area for the past 32 years so we knew where the hotel was situated. Our room had more broken tiles in the bathroom than whole ones, the hot water was off completely so we had to fill kettles for a bath over 2 days, the... More

Found this on Laterooms and boy was it worth the money! I arrived about 8pm and was greeted by Shirley. She was more than helpful and i was in my room in no time. Back downstairs i sat by the fire with a glass of wine until dinner came, and it was well worth waiting for. The room was comfortable... More
