Ribchester arms - business trip

First time stopping here, beautiful location, very friendly/ warm welcome , the room is 4/5 star, lovely decoration , everything you need , extremely clean and comfy bed, dined in the restaurant for evening meal and the food was huge portion and delicious, I had the steak and ale pie, my colleague the Steak , both plates polished off .i tend to go for hotel chains normally but stopping at the Ribchester arms has certainly opened my eyes to something better, without doubt if I get the chance again I’d definitely stay here again. Thanks to all for making my stay great .

10/10 Excellent

Great stay thank you.

Really impressed with the room (room 2) very well presented and immaculate. Comfy bed and I slept very well. I had evening meal and breakfast both were very nice. Staff polite and helpful. Would visit again. Only feedback would be to tidy up court yard directly below window as it was a bit scruffy.
Adam, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Good pub, definite no for accomodation.

Good food, very clean room....BUT incredibly noisy from the pub. Ok if you want food and drink but definitely not for accomodation.... Noise until gone midnight( approximately 11.30 from noisy bar area) then from banging doors, dog barking(I assume this is staff dog as it was up near the rooms. Disappointing for accomodation.
