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

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

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.

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!

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.
