Good location in the shadow of Pendle Hill (well worth the climb). Our room was off site next door which we didn’t expect, luckily the weather was dry.
Bar service was hampered by staff shortage it seemed, but friendly. Food was mixed, we enjoyed one dinner but not a second one.

What a fantastic place! From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted with a warm welcome. Our room had everything you could wish for, with fluffy towels to crisp white linen. A relaxing bar with a cozy log fire for a drink, before a lovely relaxed dining experience. The fish was amazing and very naughty but truly amazing desserts. All staff were very attentive but not intrusive. Thank you Assheton Arms, we hope to be back soon.

Stayed for 1 night enroute home. Really nice rooms, tastefully decorated and comfy beds etc. Staff need to make sure all the appliances work though. Good choices at breakfast in the pub / restaurant. Haphazard service in the evening but perfect at breakfast time. Not a cheap stay, however if we were in the area again, we’d come back.

We had called into this village on the way to the lakes during the summer and had seen literature saying about a Christmas break We booked later on in the summer to spend our first Christmas away from family The staff at the Assheton were superb and we could not fault them Nothing was to much trouble Lovely food and service Pleasant room Pub bar a little small and missing some comfy seating but plenty of dining areas Not sure if it has disabled parking area

A lovely country pub, with lovely rooms. We had booked in for DBB, which allocates £20 per head towards the evening meal. Upon checkout, we thought the bill was very high so we asked them to check that the dinner allocation had been taken off, it hadn't. As it was a special occasion, a friend had rang to pay towards our bill. The money was taken, but we weren't told, and it wasn't taken off our bill! She queried it with the pub, as we hadn't mentioned it, or thanked her for her gift. She is now being refunded, not a good experience.

No complaints, a clean, nicely furnished room (modern designer style) in the traditional old post office building in this lovely village with good freshly cooked food in the pub, we would definitely stay again. Young lady behind the bar could have been a tad more welcoming but she’d clearly had enough of southern tourists this week. Sarah, on the other hand (waiting tables at breakfast) couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful - charming, friendly and cheerful, efficient and responsive - even under pressure - that girl deserves a raise.

Had an amazing afternoon at the Assherton . Lovely views and lovely staff. Our server kaylee was kind and helpful when we had questions about the menu . Food was just what we needed , complements to the chef . A lovely lady Sarah was kind enough to talk to us about the rooms that they offer as well as her recommendations on what rooms would be best for our family. Overall it was a lovely find and we will happily be returning.
