What guests think

Reviews of 1823 Spinning Block highlight clean, comfortable, often spacious rooms and a central location within the Holmes Mill complex, with a lively beer hall and dining options and easy access to Clitheroe’s attractions and amenities.

Breakfast and on-site food and drink are frequently praised. Facilities in the mill complex are a plus, though parking can be limited or paid and sometimes tricky.

Good rooms, no frills but very clean and a super large shower in the bathroom. The hotel is part of a well converted mill complex with restaraunts, a great bar and shopping. A well thought out mix of original features and modern comfort. Staff all very helpful and friendly.

Stayed for 1 night in a deluxe room, which was lovely. However my friend stayed in a standard double & the obly difference we could see was tuat we had a bottle of water on the nightstand. Room wqs lovely & dining area was beautiful. The only thing letting it down was the luke warm breakfast. All in all a good hotel though. (Parking is atrocious & the staff are embarrassed by it)

A lovely hotel in a wonderful complex of restaurant, bar, leisure and cinema. I have stayed here many times on business and will continue to do so. Rooms are large and comfortable, staff are friendly and the Bowlands brewery area is excellent for entertaining.

Nice hotel. Parking difficult. The reception staff were excellent; the breakfast staff not so good! The staff at the Bowland Brewery were lovely and very friendly - not sure if this is part of the hotel! The room was spacious, but disappointed that they do not offer twin rooms, apparently all rooms are double beds! No air conditioning, one small window that opens, but the hotel recommend to leave blinds closed and curtains shut if the window is open, due to flies from the river. Hence the room was sweltering. No fan offered. Overall though, nice hotel.

The hotel was central and convenient for some shopping but there was no hotel parking, so we had to park on the street but did find a spot for over 24 hours. There was paid parking but it was expensive - £10 for 24 hours. Otherwise the hotel was fine, clean and the breakfast was good but again quite expensive.

It was an added bonus to have a fantastic brewery/bar next door, and all the local amenities you need. I will be back for business and pleasure, thats for sure.

It was a very very hot stay with no air conditioning but that can’t be helped ! We didn’t get breakfast with our room but went next door to the foodhalll that served a delicious breakfast at a really reasonable price

Nice large rooms. Bed was comfy. Loccitane products in the bathroom! We attended a wedding there so was great to just be able to practically crawl to bed after. Only negatives were the shower enclosures are not really designed to stop the flood of water onto the bathroom floor. And the room got a little hot at night. Breakfast was delicious! Staff were very friendly.

Unfortunately, my stay at 1823 Spinning Block was far from the relaxing experience I’d hoped for. Despite paying for car parking on arrival, I still received a parking ticket—which was a frustrating! The room itself was disappointing. The only source of heat was a bathroom radiator that stayed on from 3pm to 10am, making the entire space unbearably hot overnight. With signs warning guests not to open the windows due to midges, it became a very uncomfortable night’s sleep. To make matters worse, the view from the room overlooked a back alley where dogs were regularly doing their business—hardly the "charming" outlook you'd expect from a hotel in this price range. Perhaps the most disruptive part of the stay was the wedding party hosted on the floor directly above. From 9pm until 2:30am, children were running up and down the corridors, and with no phone in the room to contact reception, there was no way to raise the issue without physically going down in person, when I did reception was unmanned. On checkin the receptionist wanted a card for damages, I offered my AMEX card that I used for the booking but she told me they didnt accept that, so I reluctantly used a debit card. Disappointing across the board. A hotel with potential, but unfortunately, the basics—comfort, peace, and guest support—were severely lacking.

I have stayed here multiple times and every time it exceeds my expectations! It has a beautiful rustic decor and maintains the charm of the original building, it’s a really quirky place to stay! The only thing I will say is that I’m not a fan of paying to park however, the hotel is definitely reasonably priced for the standard of room! I look forward to staying again many more times in the future

A lovely development in centre of town. Evening staff in Reception and Bar/Bistra were excellent - friendly and professional. Spacious room, large bathroom with huge shower. Morning Reception staff less friendly - I wanted to make a few positive suggestions (pillows too soft, lack of info re breakfast, gap under door) but ironically she was not 'receptive' to first one (my fault for not reading booking info apparently) so I didn't bother......

Started at check in ...no one at reception. Reservation cards left on desk with everybody's details for anybody to take.. Finally after nearly 10 minutes we took our own room card headed for the lift and she appeared from outside with a glass of wine .we signed the check in paper. We never got to know if there was room service as wasn't told anything except how to get to our room and what time breakfast and check out was ?? Lacked in information and extremely bad service from reception , felt more like air b&b than a hotel ..the hotel cost a fortune and lacked in basic amenities...no bar or grill to be seen 🤔 I would not stay again
