Stanley House Hotel & Spa in Ribble Valley

Fantastic night on behalf of Sam & Pancreatic Cancer

Visited last year with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law and had an amazing experience with the "A Taste of the Spa" package, so suggested Stanley House to my friends for our annual spa day. It's a stunning location and the service was as friendly and professional as it was last year. However, one of the steam rooms seemed to have something wrong with it as we were sat in complete darkness other than the lights under the seats, and one of the heated loungers was out of order. Obviously, these things happen and it can't be helped, but as it's a very small spa anyway, I did feel it took the shine off slightly compared to what I experienced last year. My main disappointment though, was the spa lunch. The menu was a lot more limited compared to what we were offered last year. And then after bragging to my friends about how big the Eton Mess was that we had last year, (it was a huge mountain in a bowl!), ours came as a little dollop in the middle of a tiny, rectangular plate.. Considering that the price of the "A Taste of the Spa" package has increased, it looks like you're getting less for your money now. The service at lunch was also very slow, and it really wasn't busy at the time either. I have to say the waiting staff were all very friendly and professional though. Considering that The Woodland Spa have just reopened after the refurb, and being close competitors, you'd think that Stanley House would be on top of their game now. But unfortunately for me, I feel like standards have slipped slightly, and felt a bit disappointed with my visit yesterday. My friends however enjoyed their visit, but obviously hadn't been before so didn't have anything to compare it to. I really hope that the management team take note of the recent reviews, and can get the spa and hotel back up to the high standards that their returning customers expect.

Lovely location for a wedding we attended. Staff were pleasant and attentive, overall a nice experience

Mould in the rooms filthy Absolutely disgusting Would not recommend this place Cheap condiments in room if any. Staff with foul attitude spent 450 pounds on a one night stay with food and breakfast included including a meal. Mentioned to staff about my awful experience told I would be refunded. Then was refused. Avoid. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere.

The Spa was lovely and was very relaxing. The staff were so friendly and the services they offered were amazing. However I have to say the waiting times at fred's was very slow. But apart from that we had a very good time

Well what can I say the rooms are not to high standard the reception staff for example the Asians have no manners theirs no hospitality skills the younger staff need to go to posh hotels to learn how to greet and talk to guest the rooms are dirty so much dust not enough toiletries had keep asking For water towels breakfast choices are very limited such as no honey for porridges or lemon slices coffee machine doesn’t work properly no sauces either have to keep asking . I must say the SPA staff are amazing they go up and beyond to your needs lovely sPA and the staff make you feel welcome I wish the younger staff members were trained like this

loud drunks at night singing and arguing at 2am apart from that it was a good hotel

Stunning hotel nestled in the countryside. I had my wedding here and I could not be happier choosing this place for my family and friends to stay. Maddy at Reception was incredible and she helped us patiently which is why I ended up staying at this hotel. I had 10 rooms booked and I have zero regrets.

We attended a wedding at the glass marquees. Beautiful and elegant setting, lovely food and beautiful scenery.

For me the location was ideal. Just 15 mins for the business and a great place to unwind. There were a few weddings which made the parking a little congested. But otherwise immaculately kept, grounds and rooms.

Would recommend the experience. Beautiful setting and lovely grounds. Photos and description of room at booking didn't match the room, so that was a bit disappointing, and the room is in need of some maintenance and touch-ups. But the breakfast was nice and the estate is beautiful. So, I would recommend booking directly with the hotel.

Hafi looked after us for dinner. She was a superstar!

I had a great nights stay here, the grounds were perfect and the hotel facilities were awesome too! The checking process was easy and the front of house staff Maddy was great! Really helpful and sorted my booking for the dinner, my only disappointment was that the spa was closed as it was a ladies night only, it was the main reason I booked my room here. I will be back in the area in November so hopefully the spa will be open that time.

We were 5 ladies who were celebrating a 70th birthday in the Spa followed by various treatments and a light lunch. The treatments were lovey, from full massage ,mud treatment to facials all were enjoyed . The lunch was lovely,service was good and the staff were attentive. Hence the 3 stars Now the Spa ....It was very underwhelming and disappointing. There were 11 people including us.3 experience room (one was out of order) 4 loungers ,were not enough.No cotton pads to remove make up ,and no bin ,once the cotton pads were brought for us .There was drinking water in the Spa but we couldn't tell the used glasses from the clean ones. Once we had finished in the Spa there was nowhere appropriate to relax ,we were just sat in the same room ,where we filled in our forms.No low light relaxing area/beds ,just upright chairs to sit in .We had to wait between the Spa and the treatments and we thought we would be relaxing in a more appropriate area.The Spa was very disappointing all round,and we mentioned this as we were leaving .

Lovely spa day with my daughters. Pre light lunch with prosecco was soo delicious.

The food was very poor. This was my fourth visit and again I was less than satisfied. We spoke to the servers who confirmed they had a recent change in management who have made changes to the menu, which have not been successful. I will not be visiting again.

Recent stay for 1-night in the manor room with spa access. Positives - Beautiful room. Good amenities in the room itself. - Beautiful location. Negatives - Spa - only had one pool, 2 steam rooms and 1 sauna - very limited amenities here. Staff was a bit rude, we stayed 10mins longer than our allocated time and were asked word by word “will you make your way out now”. Never had this experience in any spa before for a 10min overstay. Could have been handled much better. - Food - Ordered a dessert through room service. The cheese cake was £9.5 and tasted terrible. Attached picture. Overall, much better options available in the area such as Crow Wood hotel or Ribby hall. First and last visit here unfortunately.

Our wedding day at Stanley House was nothing short of magical, and it's all thanks to the exceptional team and our incredible wedding coordinator. From the moment we stepped foot onto the grounds of Stanley House, we knew we had found the perfect venue for our special day. The beauty of Stanley House speaks for itself. From the stunning architecture to the picturesque gardens, every corner of the venue exudes elegance and charm. It provided the most beautiful backdrop for our celebration, and our guests were in awe of its beauty from the moment they arrived. However, what truly set our experience apart was the exceptional service and support provided by our wedding coordinator. Throughout the entire planning process, she was a true gem. She listened attentively to our vision for the day and worked tirelessly to bring it to life. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our wedding was perfect. Even when we encountered a few unexpected challenges along the way, she was there to offer guidance and support. Her calm demeanor and reassuring presence helped us navigate through any obstacles with ease, allowing us to fully enjoy the journey leading up to our wedding day. On the day of the wedding, both our wedding coordinator and the deputy general manager were absolute superstar’s. They flawlessly executed our vision, ensuring that everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Their professionalism and expertise were evident in every aspect of the day, and we felt completely at ease knowing that they were in charge of running the day. Thanks to our dream wedding coordinator and the entire team at Stanley House, our wedding day was everything we had dreamed of and more. It was a day filled with love, laughter, and memories we will treasure for the rest of our lives. If you're looking for the perfect wedding venue with exceptional service and a dedicated team, look no further than Stanley House. They truly are the best in the business. Words will never fully express the depth of our appreciation, from bottom of our hearts thank you to everyone at Stanley House for giving us a day we will never forget.

Overall, the stay was pretty much a catastrophe from start to finish and I am incredibly disappointed that our treat weekend away was ruined by so many things. But also I am really quite angry about much I paid for this Fawlty towers experience. We had specifically booked a Woodlands room but had to stay in the Manor. Food and service was terrible. Spa was ok but one sauna out of order and no ice. I would never ever stay here again. If you expect quality, class and luxury, this place is not for you

Spacious wedding space and environment
