At The Ribchester Arms, guests consistently highlight welcoming, friendly service, tasty pub dining, and comfortable, well-presented rooms with thoughtful touches, all in a scenic village setting within a recently refurbished public house.

A few minor drawbacks appear, such as bed or pillow comfort differences, isolated maintenance issues, limited breakfast hours for early departures, and a location one reviewer found a little out of the way. Overall, expect characterful lodging with modern rooms and well-regarded meals.

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.

The Ribchester Arms is a beautifully renovated public house with 4 rooms. Dinner was delicious and the service was friendly. The rooms themselves were incredibly spacious, clean and renovated. Ribchester is a little lit of the way, but quiet and bucolic. This was a great stay on our English road 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 .
