A really lovely stay at the Derby Arms. The room was fantastic – modern, comfortable and very well equipped, with all the amenities you could want. The bed was particularly comfortable and I had a great night’s sleep. I didn’t get the chance to eat there, unfortunately, but the menu looked excellent and definitely made me wish I’d had more time. A great combination of a traditional country pub and a comfortable, modern place to stay. I’d happily stay again – and next time I’ll make sure I try the food!

I recently had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Our family visited overnight during the Lytham Music Festival, and it provided the perfect countryside escape. We truly appreciated the great atmosphere, the spacious rooms, and the delicious food. A special thank you to the manager, who was incredibly helpful throughout our entire visit.

Solo traveller - peaceful night in a very comfortable bed and spacious room. Cleanliness up to speck with crisp white bedding and fluffy towels. Wonderful breakfast with tasty locally sourced bacon. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve chosen the Derby Arms for a stay over now, for a fussy traveller it fits the bill beautifully! Central location for Longridge/Ribble Valley.

Great stay x

We stayed as a family of three, we received a warm welcome dined in the restaurant and stayed one night. Food and service was great. Our room was spacious and comfortable and we all had a decent a nights sleep, there were a couple of things we had to ask for but these were quickly provided for us. We’d stay here again :-)

My 80th!

I was staying at the Inn where I was to celebrate my 80th Birthday Party with my family. The staff were very attentive and the food was excellent. I will attach a view from my window, my full English breakfast, and my birthday cake.
