I had stayed in the Ribchester before. The rooms are lovely. Loved the little touches, fresh milk,bottles of orange juice and water. The only minus was, the sheets weren't cotton. Overall, a lovely place to stay.

Could not find fault with any part of the stay. We came to visit family and flew in from America. We will NOT stay anywhere else when we are back. Absolutely loved it! Staff are excellent, nothing was too much trouble.

Really impressed with the room (room 2) very well presented and immaculate. Comfy bed and I slept very well. I had evening meal and breakfast both were very nice. Staff polite and helpful. Would visit again. Only feedback would be to tidy up court yard directly below window as it was a bit scruffy.

Good food, very clean room....BUT incredibly noisy from the pub. Ok if you want food and drink but definitely not for accomodation.... Noise until gone midnight( approximately 11.30 from noisy bar area) then from banging doors, dog barking(I assume this is staff dog as it was up near the rooms. Disappointing for accomodation.

Hotel was ok , food was decent enough ,staff were nice. Bed was hard, pillows ddnt have much life to them, worst thing was kitchen extracter fan ran all night and was really noisy even with ear plugs in, not the best ingredients used at breakfast but ok. Was charged for an extra drink I never had at checkout!
