Went for lunch and had pate and garlic mushrooms to start lovely and fresh just enough flavour. Had rump steak for main the vegetables were cooked perfectly crisp and tasty, the sauce on the steak was just enough, the rump steak was what you expect a bit tough but well with the price. Creme brulee and Irish coffee to finish.... More

My husband and I called for lunch this week.The location and venue is lovely.The food was reasonably priced and well cooked.We both enjoyed our meal.This would have received all Excellents but furniture was being removed to cater for a large party in another room which left the main bar area very sparcely furnished and this spoiled the atmosphere.I asked for...

This was our first visit to the hotel - we'll definitely be going back. Though it's a little further out from town than the sister hotel 'The Oaks' it offered much prettier surroundings both in the hotel and out. Our room, though one of the smallest, had amazing views across the valley and gardens and sufficient privacy to sleep with... More

Absolutely beautiful grounds, lovely food, super helpful & friendly staff. Very clean room & bathroom with a spa bath, i'm a type 1 diabetic so the sweetener as opposed to just sugar was a welcome change in the room. Would definitely recommend this hotel

We chose this hotel as it was close to our business trip and up in the country. We were quite surprised how secluded it was. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel is quaint and well maintained. We enjoyed both our evening meal and breakfast and nothing was too much bother. We will be back hopefully in the summer... More

Ex-colleagues in a nearby town always queried my decision to use the Higher Trapp when working in the area. "It's so out of the way", they'd opine. Just what I like. It's situated high above the Pendle Valley and reaching it via narrow rural lanes is an experience in itself. The welcome was friendly - the staff were getting to... More
