26.06.25

If you’re looking for a date night with a bit more character than the usual Netflix and chill, Holmes Mill in Clitheroe might be just what you’re after. With boutique hotel rooms, great food and drink, a bowling alley, and even an ice cream parlour, it’s got everything you need for a relaxed night away - without having to go too far.

Stay the night

Start your evening by checking into one of the rooms at The Spinning Block Hotel. All rooms are stylish, comfortable and designed with the intention of preserving the mill’s industrial heritage. Whether you’re looking for a cosy room to unwind or something with a Penthouse style with a modern twist, you’ll find everything you need to switch off and enjoy your time together.

Good food, great beer

Once you’ve checked and settled in, head over to Bowland Beer Hall. It’s home to the longest bar in Britain, so you won’t be short of choice when it comes to drinks. There’s a fantastic range of craft beers brewed right on-site, plus a solid wine list and a food menu full of seasonal, locally sourced favourites. It’s a great spot for a laid-back dinner or a casual drink to start your night.

A bit of friendly competition

After dinner, keep the evening going with a few games at the Boiler House Bowling Alley. Whether you’re competitive or just in it for a laugh, it’s a good excuse to do something a little different and it’s a fun, low-key way to round off the night. If you’re in the mood for something sweet why not take a look at our Beer Hall Desserts Menu?

Slow mornings

In the morning, you can grab breakfast in the Food Hall Café. Where there’s fresh coffee, flaky pastries, and large variety of cakes and bakes whether you’re after something quick or planning to linger a little longer the Food Hall is the place to eat. Before you leave, have a look at the local produce, handmade treats and gifts to bring a little taste of Lancashire with you.

Make it a weekend

Whether it’s a special occasion or just an excuse to take a break from the everyday, Holmes Mill makes a great spot for a date night - easy-going, full of character and a little bit different.
