Imperious old coaching inn lost in deep country with a river to fish, five-mile views, delicious rooms and some very tasty food

Read guest comments

Everything here is perfect. The inn sits just above the river Hodder, and doors in the bar lead onto a terrace where guests can enjoy five-mile views across parkland to rising fells. Inside, fires roar, newspapers wait, there are beams, sofas, maps and copies of Wisden. Bedrooms, some in the Coach House, some in a restored stone barn overlooking the kitchen garden, are exemplary and come with real luxury – many have the marvellous view.

The inn has a great reputation for food with many of the ingredients locally sourced – head chef Jamie and his team make every plate delicious and memorable, including their famous fish pie. Elsewhere, a wine shop in reception, seven miles of fishing rights, a treatment room for massage and facials, e-bikes to borrow and some of the best walking country outside the door.

This ancient place is imbued with warmth and a pleasing quirkiness – relaxed, laid-back, with a country-house feel, just lovely.

Guest feedback
"I had heard about the Inn at Whitewell years ago, and always wanted to visit it. We came to celebrate our 35th Wedding Anniversary for a weekend here - it was fabulous!The room was in an annexe, "the Coach House", and it was superb - large, with a very comfortable bed, an extra kitchen and a separate en suite bathroom, with a magnificent Victorian bath and shower and a "his and hers" pair of basins. We eat in the bar in the Friday night and in the dining room on the Saturady night. The food was excellent - the Lonk lamb is to die for, and the Blond Witch ale is very moreish. The Trough of Bowland is one of England's best kept secrets, and it is glorious - we would love to have explored more. We cannot wait to go back, but perhaps will not do so, as we do not want to spoil our memories of a perfect stay!"
