We stayed in a room at the rear of the property. It is clean, but very dated bathroom, decor, upholstery and carpet. Really needs a complete renovation. It was a very hot evening and a ceiling fan would be useful because there is not a lot of room in the accommodation for a free standing fan. The sun is on the room all day.
Food excellent and staff very courteous.

On arrival the receptionist on duty was extremely helpfull

We had invited friends to join us for Dinner that evening alas the food was abysmal,two of uscordered cheese and onion pie and requested no vegetables or baked beans to accompany the said dish,the cheese and onion pie lacked cheese and flavour and.mushy, the chips accompanying the pie pale and insipid alas the scamoi and chips the samev.
We certainly would not recommend dining at aThe Calf's Head .

I have literally done hundreds of reviews over 15 years with Expedia and this hotel is absolutely a top 3 contender. This is the BEST English country Hotel I have stayed at. The premises, staff and meals are superb. Do NOT bypass this hotel and I would even plan a trip to purposely include a visit. Loved every moment of our stay.

Lovely hotel in a beautiful setting. Stayed in the deluxe king room with a large jacuzzi bath. All staff were friendly and helpful, and nothing was too much trouble. The food was lovely and they catered gluten free for me. Service in the bar and restaurant was 1st class. We have booked to stay again.

Perfect stay for one night. Great little spot for food in the evening, especially if the sun is out! Breakfast was also great with hot and cold options. Would need to drive to nearby places as it’s a little bit out from Clitheroe and there’s not too much immediately around - apart from walks etc.

A lovely place to stay

We arrived just before they stop serving food due to a horrendous journey, were checked in quickly, the lady carried my bag up for me and we were assured we would be able to order food. We did and it was very nice.
Both days breakfasts were good and served by a very friendly and cheerful lady.
The only negative was we had called a taxi and asked the bar guys if the taxis take cards ( all ours do), they said no, I asked if I could get cash using my card there but the manager said no. The taxi charged us an extra £5 to take us to a cash machine.
We enjoyed our stay and would return if we are ever up that way again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Calf’s Head, Clitheroe. We attended a wedding at a venue not far from here, so it was a great location for us. All the staff were helpful and friendly and the downstairs bar/dining was an asset to our stay. We both enjoyed a lovely full English the morning after with the option of fruit, cereals and yoghurts. The outdoor space here is gorgeous so would definitely recommend going here to enjoy it on a nice day.
The only criticism I can give is that the ceiling in our room needed attention. It appeared to have damp or potential old leak stains, which could do with being cared for.
Overall we had a really enjoyable stay and would definitely visit again.
