All staff were amenable, knowledgeable and courteous. Public rooms and outdoor spaces were maintained to a high degree, furnishings and fittings,etc. were excellent.
The accomodation was spacious, well appointed and comfortable, The bed was enormous, comfortable and had appropriate bedding, there was also a spare pillow in the wardrobe alongwith an iron, ironing board, an electric fan and an umbrella. There was a more than adequate hospitality tray and the best television, my wife and I have seen in an hotel room. Rooms were not made up on a daily basis unless requested. The bar was welcoming and well stocked with a variety of non alcoholic and alcoholic beverages; there were also non alcoholic wines available on the extensive wine list. No-one and I mean no-one could be disappointed with the breakfast fare both hot and cold (and the service) in Seasons' Dining Room, there was also something for everyone on the Dinner Menu, my wife and I weren't present during daytime hours and therefore never sampled the daytime menus, Based on our experience, we would have no hesitation in recommending this venue, whatever the reason foryour visit to the area. We stayed in a \"Lodge Room\".

A beautiful period hotel in a lovely setting.
Food in the restaurant is excellent and not pricey, which often happens with hotels as they have a captive audience. Staff were helpful and courteous.
My only niggle and it's a personal thing. It's a beautiful place but they appear to have bought a job lot of plastic trees covered in blossoms. It's such a beautiful place, do it a favour and lose the tacky plastic trees. Then people will be able to fully appreciate the beautiful period features, especially in the dinning room where there are 3 of the horrible things.

Beautiful hotel full of character, warm and welcoming with exceptional staff who go the extra mile to ensure your stay is perfect. Food was very good & the wedding we attended there was perfect. My only comment worth making is ensure you book the room you require as the standard double is very bland compared to the other rooms which are luxurious…. Giving them a call to book directly is a must as they may have special deals which are very generous. I would definitely recommend staying here & would love to return one day.

Stunning building

This is a stunning building in gorgeous surroundings. Unfortunately for me the interior decor badly lets it down as it is faded and very dated. The owners really need to capitalise on the history of the building and decorate in a sympathetic way. The harsh 80s style lighting in particular needs a complete overhaul. Having said that, it is clean and comfortable and the staff are cery friendly and helpful and I would recommend it for an overnight stay.

Check-in was easy, but i have very obvious disability and mobility issues, but we were given a room at the furthest end of the property. I would have thought, when meeting me, that maybe these issues would have promped them to offer a more conveniently placed room. The stairs were very difficult for me to manage.
Although the room was really nice, with a beautiful, large bathromm, i would have expected a fridge as standard and maybe a small table to use when sirting on the sofa. I had to put my drinks on the windowsill which appeared freshly painted, as my cup stuck slightly to the paint, which is a shame.
The evening meal was fine and the young barman/waiter couldn't do enough to make me comfortable, as i had a very painful hip. Buffet breakfast was quite good and the chef was very helpful in guiding me through the options and carrying my plate for me as i have a severe visual impairment.
We wre staying there on out wedding anniversary as we married at Stirk House 15 years ago and all-in-all, we did enjoy our stay, apart from the issues I've mentioned.

If you want a low key, peaceful country setting with an amazing staff and restaurant, you found it! We loved staying here and definitely plan to come back. Lots of room to roam, walking paths and countryside roads to explore. Also, plenty of free parking was very nice. 10 / 10

We actually stayed for 2 days , staff very good , first night we got taxi to Clitheroe for food and drinks , Clitheroe is a nice town . Breakfast in hotel was fine with plenty of choice , all the food we had on the wedding day was excellent . The hotel is kept spotless as well as the wedding venue . Only slight criticism is drink prices which are ok if you like 1 or 2 drinks , but if you’re there all day its going to cost . All venues seem to do this and I understand paying staff etc , but the venues are paying very little for alcohol with a ridiculous mark up . Other than that excellent all round

A little disappointed

Room 16 was very nice apart from 2 double glazing units which had blown and need replacing.
Also,the day before we arrived we received an email regarding an offer in the restaurant but when we arrived there was no sign of the offer until we asked.surely if there’s an offer on they should advertise it.
However I would like to thank them for 2 glasses of Prosecco for our anniversary.

Great Weekend

Attended a family wedding, had a great time. Lovely scenery, food was excellent (except the roast potatoes could have been a bit crisper!) The sticky toffee pudding was one of the lightest I've ever tasted and was just right after a large meal. Fantastic breakfast, eggs were cooked perfectly and nothing had been left out for too long. Room was spacious and, apart from a lack of a power socket near the bed, very well laid out. Nice and clean.throughout.

Nice countryside retreat

Great location, close to Gisburn and Skipton. Very clean, nice restaurant, helpful staff. Keep an eye out for their special offers for bed, breakfast and evening meals.

We did not appreciate having to wait more than half an hour after check in time for access to our room. It was not our problem that 'housekeeping are short of staff today'. The waiting staff were pleasant enough - but seemed to be mostly ill-trained youngsters. The hotel should invest in some serious training on table service. Breakfast time was the same - don't leave dirty plates on tables! The Evening menu was limited but our choice was well presented and cooked.

Lovely overnight stay

Just had an overnight stay here at the Stirk House and we really enjoyed it. The lounge/bar area and restaurant are beautifully decorated and the whole place seems really homely. The staff are lovely and very helpful. The food both in the bar and in the restaurant is superb and very reasonably priced. The hotel has beautiful grounds to walk around and the views are wonderful. Well worth a visit.

Didn't bother hanging around

When we got there they had bumped us from the room we had booked - a suite - and put us in a bog-standard double that was small and hot. So we left.

Nice hotel, room OK but there was a half eaten packet of biscuits in our room on arrival. Bar staff excellent. Looked forward to a swim, sauna and steam but the facilities were dreadful. The pool area and changing rooms were grubby and in need of a good upgrade. Very disappointing

Nice enough hotel - gym very basic but good enough for a quick workout.
Could have been better service...i.e. receptionist was very poor in forthcoming with information - I had to ask about everything as she didn't tell me e.g breakfast times, where was the restaurant, wifi code!!
Also had to go back in from the car in the pouring rain for barrier code as they didn't ask me if I needed one in reception.
Overall a good stay, just lost some points which was for very basic school errors.

Nice hotel after attending a wedding

Lovely setting, mostly good although found previous stayers toothbrush I bathroom, nice large bed but was a bit lop sided! There were two single beds fixed together and they were slightly different heights so my partner & I slept separately most of the night! Not ideal
Window had a mark on it where somebody had rested their face looking out
Nobody asked at reception on checkout if we had had any issues though so maybe they are used to it!

Ribble Valley home-from-home; now vegan friendly!

Having been staying at the Stirk House on and off for over five years now, it has always been my go-to hotel when in the area; the open fire in the lounge, the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff has always made it feel like a home from home.

Having recently become a vegan, however, I approached my most recent visit with some trepidation as, although there were always superb vegetarian options on the menu, I didn't recall anything vegan. I needn't have worried; on my first night I noticed a new main option on the menu - a lightly curried spinach and pea burger with sweet potato wedges - which was dutifully ordered, and very delicous it was too.

The best was yet to come. Having asked if I could veganise one of the starters as well (which the chef was more than happy to do), at the end of the meal, he came out and asked if, were I to be eating at the hotel again the following night, I would be happy for them to create a completely vegan 3-course meal from scratch. I was completely bowled over by this level of attentiveness and service, and replied that yes, that would be amazing. What followed the next night was one of the best meals I have ever eaten, vegan or otherwise.

So to Steven and Matt, and the whole team at the Stirk House, thank-you. I have always recommended you to all and sundry, but now I have even more reason to do so. Just need some vegan sausages on the breakfast menu and I'll never leave..!

Very disappointed !!!

The rooms smell like an old peoples care home and dirty. Under the furniture had never seen a vac or duster. You can hear the room next door on the toilet! I was very unfortunate to be given the room at the top of the stairs and had to listen to guest all night coming up the stairs chatting and believe me you could hear the full conversation. No privacy at all.

A gem in the Lancashire countryside

We stayed for three nights at Stirk House Hotel. Our main reason to be in Lancashire was to visit family and to attend our Niece's wedding. The location of the hotel is lovely, with grounds to walk in, lovely views across countryside, lots of parking and facilities for guests, and yet convenient as close to A59.

OK for 1 night

Nice enough hotel, was put in the annex, which is OK. Nothing around for miles, so make sure your happy to eat in the hotel. Grand old house but lacke atmosphere and charictar for me.
Bed was broken, reported it but can't see how it hadn't been noticed before.

Just be aware you will not be staying in the 'nice' hotel but a modern annexe which is ok but not the same ambience as rest of hotel, could be a Holiday Inn.
There was a wedding staying the same weekend and the bar and breakfast service could not cope with the number of guests in attendance

Beautiful peaceful location

Really enjoyed our stay. Only downside was waiting an hour for our breakfast. Not enough staff on - only 3 for about 40 people as their had been a wedding on the day before.
They also need to train their staff to look behind and under things in the bathroom as under the freestanding bath was filthy and behind the toilet.
