After staying here just before the Easter weekend,I can definitely recommend this doggie friendly place to stay �� lots of nice walks from here or simply sit back and enjoy the lovely village. The room was lovely, with everything you need ,tea and coffee making facilities (good selection of teas and coffees) hairdryers in the room and lovely Orla Kiely toiletries in the bathroom. A nice big shower ( not a tiny cubicle) There is a garden just off the courtyard for your four legged friend to nip in last thing at night and first thing in the morning ��. We booked dinner bed and breakfast - with your dog dinner and breakfast must be taken in the bar areas , rather than In the restaurant, but don’t let this put you off !! There is a lovely wood burner for cold days and evenings with lots of nice places to sit . In the summer the outside has plenty of seating with fab views of the area . The food was all very good and I believe the menu changes daily ,this is a fish restaurant but there were options - pies,curries, steak and much more !! The staff were all very helpful and friendly both at dinner and at breakfast. Breakfast couldn’t be faulted � The only thing I would say is why these days do places call themselves dog friendly but then charge an extra £15 for the dog per night !!! They don’t offer anything special for the dog , I really do feel if they do this they could at least provide dog bowls in the room , maybe a towel or blanket/bed and definitely some doggie treats !!! This said I would definitely stay here again and indeed hope to do so soon ����

The food was excellent and a decent portion. Pity the Seafood Pub doesn't have more actual seafood on the menu. Where are the oysters and Mussels? There's a seafood platter but you have to order it 48 hours in advance. Shame.

I enjoyed this meal, and am pleased to see the Assheton Arms back in action and very busy again, though I'm not sure it really merits the unqualified, almost adoring praise it seems to get in many quarters.

Assheton Arm’s hand sliced smoked salmon, watercress, lemon & cracked pepper – beautifully smoked salmon, produced onsite in their smokehouse using a blend of cherry and mesquite smoke. Perfect smokiness for me; the flavours were prominent without overpowering.

My other half saw the seen this place in a magazine and fancied trying lunch. Very pleased we did. Service was very good. The food was terrific. I had modules, Elaine, risotto. We were very happy with our choices. My mussels were plentiful and tasty. The accompanying broth was top drawer. We had a bottle of rose too. For dessert I had the gin trifle, no disappointment there and Elaine was equally happy with her chocolate cake. When we visited the weather was beautiful so we took advantage of the tables outside. I had a couple of pints of their bitter. Sat outside, enjoying the fresh air, looking towards Pendle Hill. A perfect place to enjoy a leisurely lunch.

Went for a gorgeous meal here last weekend. My husband and I both had the curried chicken with Bombay potatoes and it was gorgeous. Did not stay here so unable to rate the rooms .

Had a lovely meal yesterday early evening with my Mum and husband. Food was gorgeous Mum had the lamb, my husband had the caesar salad and he was asked if he would like anchovies as not everyone does and I had the ploughman's which was huge . We thought the food was excellent value. Lovely helpful staff. Well worth a visit.

Lunchtime visit on a sunny autumn day. Beautiful setting, historic feel to the village and this lovely country Inn. Very nice varied menu with specials available. I had the very tasty ham hock with crispy hens egg. My wife enjoyed the mussels followed by the nocchie pasta, my main was the steak pie. Delicious food with a lovely house merlot. Highly recommended 👌

Spent a night here on Thursday. We had the Dinner,Bed&Breakfast deal which was £165. The location is stunning and the pub lovely and cosy with real fires to keep you nice and warm. The food was delicious, we had fish pie and lamb shank pie👌 breakfast is a choice off the menu plus cereals, pastries and yogs. Really nice The room was big and cosy with views over Pendle Hill. Its really quiet at night so we had a great sleep. The whole stay was fantastic, the staff are really nice and helpful. Its a great location for walkers. We will definitely be returning

Lovely lunch time meal. Sat next to 3 miserable, middle aged women with 2 dogs who wolfed their meal down but split their bill 3 ways to £12.63 with no tip because their order had been inadvertently missed and the staff didn't "apologise enough" I had to sit on my own hands and clamp my own lips between my own teeth. Luckily I'm 58 and have my own teeth and lips, not them ridiculous chalk white slabs and over filled Cumberland banger kissers, so they got off lightly. The ox cheek pie was so tasty. All the food was outstanding and the service was great. Will definitely return.

Lovely place & service good. Wouldn’t fault that. I was told the men’s toilet was disgusting though. Seafood platter is not worth £26.95 so don’t bother ordering it. Sunday roast was good but the carrots were - puried - not mashed- far too sloppy. The salty fries were processed frozen food type. Shame really for a fairly expensive place. Expected more quality. It was my sisters birthday too. We were never even offered a free glass of Prosecco for her or a birthday dessert on the house, even after I had purchased her an £80 bottle of champagne too. We had a nice time but wouldn’t travel again to it as there’s other better quality foodie places nearer to us. I think they have a few things to smarten up on sadly. Great day out at the Downham Hall open day though.

What a superb experience here. The setting and location is absolutely idyllic. The food was fantastic and the staff were attentive courteous and service was top notch. Will absolutely be coming here again soon. Special shout out to Chris (possibly the bar or shift manager?) whose service was second to none and couldn’t do enough to make us feel welcome.

A super pub/hotel in the prettiest of places. The restaurant and bar are homely. The food is really REALLY good. The menu is varied. We stayed for Two nights and can’t wait to go back.
