The Assheton Arms is a Grade II listed stone building and therefore unfortunately not all of the areas in our inn are accessible. However, there is a seating area in the bar which can be accessible, and we have accessible toilets.

A few of our rooms are located on the ground floor but have steps into rooms, therefore we ask that you contact our reservations team to book your stay so we can ensure you are allocated the correct room. You can contact them on 01200 407 150 or email reservations@jamesplaces.co.uk.

We have a car park located at the side of our Inn, and limited parking available in-front of property, both of which you are able to use during your visit.

Reasons To Visit

With Pendle Hill on our doorstep and the rolling landscape of the Ribble Valley stretching out all around, adventure begins the moment you step outside.

Misty mornings, wide open skies and winding country lanes set the scene for days spent exploring. Wander the hills for far-reaching views, riverside paths and quiet bridleways, or cycle through charming villages. Moody and dramatic one moment, beautifully peaceful the next, this is countryside that invites you to roam – and then return to good food, a glowing fire and a well-earned rest.

Whether you’re here to discover or enjoy a slower pace of life, there are countless reasons to discover it all from the comfort of the Assheton Arms.
