The best restaurants in Mellor Ribble Valley North West

Such a shame. Venue excellent - food extremely poor. Our meals were ‘aired’ and very tough. Needless to say we will not be returning.

Wonderful place in lovely grounds. Massage was amazing. Sadly, our day was shortened due to a staff shortage, which couldn't be avoided. So we missed out on a full massage and facial. We would like to experience this. Thermal rooms were lovely, and the spa jazucci was very pleasant. There is a need for more towel and dressing gown holders downstairs, and more dry towels readily available to change when the others are wet. Food very nice.

Warm welcome from the Team, booking in for our stay was seamless, lovely room well appointed with all our needs catered for. Excellent food, in lovely surroundings served by pleasant staff, what's not to like.

It makes a refreshing change to find somewhere that is well run. My check-in was efficiently handled and my room was a good size with a large well appointed bathroom with a large walk-in shower. I was advised at check-in that they had a largish party coming in for dinner so, ideally, to make a reservation in the restaurant to avoid 7pm. The bar and restaurant was very busy but the staff were charming and efficient. Food was a little overcooked but still extremely hot and tasty. Negatives would be the road noise although, by the middle of the evening, this had dissipated. The mobile phone signal is awful which isn't the fault of the Bluebird Inn. I would stay here again.

Service was VERY slow, steak was cold then reheated in the microwave and pizza looked and tasted like a store brought frozen one.

Excellent Christmas dinners had by all, juicy turkey, goose fat roasties and the veg was cooked perfectly. Had the creamy garlic mushrooms with vol-au-vent pastry to start, delicious and as always excellent service.

A dump. Only a single toilet worked in the Gents. All urinals out of order. Urine on floor Oh. Central Heating not working. One couple who had booked accommodation walked out All this, for a friend’s 70 th. Such a shame.
