The Experience

A 1700s coaching inn rescued from many years of neglect. Downstairs find stripped wooden floors or original flagstones, roaring fires on chilly days and a glass wall to the brewery area. Lots of comfy wingback chairs encourage loafing while you decide what to eat: farm to fork local wherever possible, homemade puddings, family Sunday lunch. Try a pint of ‘Goldie’ from their own Four Mice brewery, or a very reasonable wine list by the glass.

Upstairs are extremely comfortable bedrooms, all different in style but with homemade goodies, coffee machines, Molton Brown lotions and smart bathrooms. Breakfast options include eggs Benedict, sausages from Pughes Piglets, homemade granola and some home-baked breads.

A big seating area out the back means on sunny evenings you can spill out here with something delicious and non-alchoholic if you prefer.

Reviews

Escape to the beautiful Ribble Valley and discover wonderful walking paths, great mountain biking through the Gisburn forest and superb little market towns with independent shops to visit. Return to feather and down, perhaps a soak in a copper bath, excellent food, wine and local ale.

The Coach & Horses is an absolute gem of a hotel. The rooms are pure luxury and the food delicious. James and his team do a superb job and I cannot wait to return.


Ken, Maidstone

Just returned home after a lovely weekend at The Coach and Horses Hotel in Bolton by Bowland. We were attending a nearby family wedding and had two beautiful and spotlessly rooms which were perfect. We enjoyed a fabulous meal in the dining room on Friday evening which was very welcome after our long journey up from Kent . A big thank you to the Manager, Chef and all his staff for looking after us and making us feel so welcome. We hope to return again soon.


Anthony, Milton Keynes

The pub was stylishly renovated and classy; the bedrooms were ornately furnished and comfortable, although the one we stayed in (Blue) was rather small and warm and there was some noise from the kitchen ventilation outside the window. Also, strangely there was no door between the bedroom and en-suite. The pub bar was very welcoming and well stocked and the on-site 4 Mice Brewery ale went down a treat after a day's walking in the local area. The food in the restaurant was delicious and well presented and the service was excellent. An extremely enjoyable stay.

Lovely place and good value for money on DBB package


Location

The neighbourhood

In the village there's a good shop and a tearoom frequented by walkers looking for toasted teacakes. So many excellent walking paths criss cross this area. The next village is Sawley, also full of walkers and another pub, The Spread Eagle. Clitheroe, a great little town is 6 miles, Skipton 20 minutes. Mountain bike in the Gisburn forests, join the Tolkein Trail, climb Pendle Hill.

Local points of interest from Joe Unsworth

  • The Ribble Valley, is the perfect place to visit for keen walkers. Climb to the summit of Pendle Hill, famous for its links to the now notorious witch trials of 1612 or enjoy a three mile circular around the local village with equally stunning views.
  • Standing high on Castle Hill, Clitheroe Castle has dominated the skyline for over 800 years. The Castle Museum tells the story of the town and its surrounding area, the formation of the land 350 million years ago and the people who have lived there.
  • Holmes Mill in Clitheroe is home to the Bowland Beer Hall, which features one of the longest bars in Britain – at 105ft 4”it is home to 42 hand pulls and is the perfect place for a quick pint or two before exploring the town centre.
  • Nestled in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales on the banks of the River Wharfe, Bolton Abbey is one of Yorkshire’s best days out.
  • At the top of Skipton's High Street stands the impressive towers of Skipton Castle. Over 900 years old, Skipton Castle is one of the most complete and best preserved medieval castles in England and is well worth a visit at any time of the year.
  • At the Coach and Horses we have our own, on-site micro brewery. The Four Mice Brewery produces our Coachman Bitter which is a must try!
