Northcote, Lancashire

Description: Northcote

Located in the heart of the Ribble Valley in Lancashire, close to the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Northcote is set in two wings of a charming late Victorian manor house, originally built in 1883. With a new wing built in 2014, this fabulous property offers luxury accommodation and award-winning cuisine in a delightful rural setting.

The proud holder of a Michelin star since 1996, along with four AA Rosettes, fine gourmet dining is at the head of priorities at Northcote. Here, Chefs Nigel Haworth, Lisa Goodwin-Allen and Aled Williams create fabulous menus based on the finest regional fare and locally sourced and garden ingredients. Guests can watch the chefs in action from the glass-walled kitchen table or join them by taking part in one of the cookery classes, and chef's table dining is also available.

Ideally placed for exploring this beautiful, unspoilt area of rural Lancashire, Northcote is within easy reach of some spectacular landmarks and attractions, including the village of Whalley, with its 14th century Cistercian Abbey, and the historic market town of Clitheroe, with its castle and fascinating shops, cafés and bars. The region is a hiker's and cyclist's paradise, with countless paths and routes of varying length and difficulty, including the famous Tolkein trail.
