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.

Delightful hotel with loads of character, excellent staff, gorgeous setting, good food and wine. Cooked breakfast options a little limited. Larger and better quality pillows would be good. Would definitely return.

Don’t Hesitate- it’s amazing!

The Stirk House is an absolutely beauty. It’s located in a picturesque setting surrounded by fields and sheep. 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

Liked the room and the view from it. Didnt like the plastic flowers in public areas - It wouldnt have cost much to have had some real daffodils and spring flowers. The plastic flowers really degraded a fine old building and really lowered the standard!

Stephens

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

8/10 Very good

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.
