Mitton Hall Hotel

Mitton Hall Hotel is a country house hotel near Whalley in Lancashire’s Ribble Valley, set in a 15th-century manor house. Clitheroe is about a 10-minute drive away.

Rooms have a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee facilities and a roomy en suite with both bath and shower, mixing old architecture with modern interiors. The brasserie serves dishes based on regional produce, plus afternoon tea, and the bar stocks plenty of wines and ales.
