Set in the charming village of Mellor, The Millstone provides a base for the perfect countryside escape, with the Ribble Valley’s rolling hills, winding rivers and breathtaking views right on the doorstep.

A former 17^th-century coaching inn bursting with character, the property offers a truly authentic home-away-from-home experience. From County Doubles to spacious Character rooms, and for that special treat, the Chairman’s Suite is the best room in the house. Each of the 23 bedrooms has been designed with a great night’s sleep and a lazy wake-up in mind. Guests can also enjoy the little extras such as homemade biscuits, fresh milk and for four-legged guests, dog beds and treats are provided to make them feel right at home.

With soft hues, cosy interiors and at the centre of it all, a grand fireplace, the inn’s AA Rosette-awarded restaurant and lounge areas offer a relaxing environment, whatever the occasion. The main menu offers a mix of daily, bistro-style specials as well as traditional classics to suit varying tastebuds. Signature dishes include Thwaites beer-battered fish and chips, Tandoori chicken breast with homemade curry sauce and its Sunday roast. For those overnight guests looking for a less formal dining experience, The Millstone also offers a dedicated room service menu which offers everything from light bites including artisanal sandwiches to more substantial meals.

Just a short drive away there’s the bustling market town of Clitheroe and the vibrant city of Preston. Discover the captivating Forest of Bowland, explore Clitheroe Castle, enjoy a stroll around the historic Whalley Abbey or watch the wildlife at Brockholes Nature Reserve.
