Property details

Escape to a luxe country hotel with a sensational spa and fine dining - includes breakfast, lunch and dinner options, and optional spa perks
  • First-class setting: Built out of the ruins of a 17th-century manor house, Stanley House Hotel and Spa is like a phoenix rising up from the ashes. This Grade II listed building has been restored with sympathy for its origins both inside and out, creating a modern but comfortable destination for the discerning traveller. Nestled in the 54 acres of Ribble Valley, you're surrounded by stunning views of the countryside wherever you turn, defining Stanley House Hotel and Spa as a truly unique place to stay.

  • Top-notch cuisine: Dining is a memorable experience here thanks to a team of talented chefs. With a commitment to quality and the best locally sourced Lancashire produce, Fred's Brasserie serves up a selection of classic British favourites and new contemporary dishes, with an accompanying drinks menu. For a real treat, there's traditional afternoon tea available, with an option to add a glass of fizz to make it extra special.

  • Award-winning spa bliss: Designed by some of the world's leading spa consultants, the spa here is unmatched. Spaciously spread over two floors, you'll find luxury treatments rooms, a thermal suite and hydro pool, plus six further thermal experiences, including a Finnish sauna and steam room. It's no surprise to learn that it has secured a Five Bubbles spa rating in The Good Spa Guide as well as an award for the 'Best Boutique Spa' 2023.
