Cosy and Quiet B&B

The Freemasons

The Freemasons is one of Lancashire’s most popular gastropubs, with a reputation for dispensing outstanding food in a relaxed environment.

Nestled down a side street in one of the Ribble Valley’s prettiest villages, The Freemasons won the 2017 AA Restaurant of the Year for England, alongside being the top northwest pub in the Top 50 Gastropubs, 18^th in the National Restaurant Awards, one of the only pubs to make The Sunday Times Top 100 Restaurants and for the third year in a row, the No.1 pub in the Good Food Guide, with a seven out of 10 (the first pub in the Guide to receive that ranking).

While the food shouts fine dining, the ambience is relaxed and locals will often pop in for a pint and maybe a couple of small plates. While there’s no standing on ceremony at the Freemasons, booking is advised as it remains one of the area’s most popular dining destinations.

Wood End Farm and Alpaca Experience

Our family have farmed here for over 100 years. It is a traditional hill farm, with beef and sheep, set in the beauty and tranquility of this unspoilt area in rural Lancashire.

We believe in preserving the best of traditional farming practice and work hard to conserve traditional hedgerows, meadows and dry stone walls. We have a double en-suite room and a twin ensuite room that can be changed to king-size if required. We offer a breakfast of your choice made from the finest local ingredients; free wifi; flat screen TV; tea making facilities; stair lift; off road parking and a beautiful garden.

We can also offer you an ‘alpaca experience’, beauty treatments or fusion therapeutic coaching – please ask for more information when you book. We can accommodate horses with a yard, tack room and field turnout and if you are a keen cyclist, fisherman or walker we have lockable storage, drying facilities and a hose in the yard.
