Stirk House Hotel

Stirk House Hotel overlooks the historic Ribble Valley in the heart of rural Lancashire. It offers an award-winning restaurant.

It is a 16th-century manor house surrounded by picturesque views of Pendle Hill, the Forest of Bowland and Yorkshire Dales. The building still retains a magnificent stone-arched fireplace, original ceilings and a priest hole.

The hotel’s restaurant has won an AA Rosette, and has views of the conservatory area and beautiful hotel grounds. It serves home-cooked food made from local ingredients, and offers an extensive wine list and a range of real ales.

All of the bedrooms have work areas, TVs and tea and coffee-making facilities.

Golf, fishing and hot air ballooning are all available in the Ribble Valley. The 12th-century Clitheroe Castle is 15 minutes’ drive from the hotel, and the Yorkshire Dales can be reached in 20 minutes by car.
