3 Night Spring Break 2010 - £399 per room

Tuesday 6th April – Thursday 27th May 2010 (Based on two people sharing: Excludes Saturday Nights)

We ran some very successful late availability 3 night breaks last summer and have decided to offer more dates this Spring. Due to the length of the break the price is excellent value and includes dinner each evening as well as accommodation in a suite and breakfast.We have added a couple of suggestions for your days out, which of course are optional but give a good idea of what is available in the surrounding area.

Day 1 – A Car Journey Over The Tops and Through The Trough.

This journey takes you through some of the most beautiful scenery in England. On a clear day, it is a journey to remember with ever changing panoramic views and picturesque villages. Indeed, much of the route lies within the Forest of Bowland an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Day 2 – A Shopping Trip in Whalley & Clitheroe.

Perched on the banks of the River Calder, Whalley is a charming village, filled with historic buildings, well-known shops and lovely cafes. The shops include; Maureen Cookson ladies fashions; Cosgroves gentlemen’s outfitters; Hansel & Gretel children’s wear and Poppies cards & gifts.The ancient market town of Clitheroe is well known for its plethora of specialist shops. Award-winning Byrnes Wine Shop is famous for its enormous underground cellar bursting with unusual vintages from all over the world. Cowman’s Famous Sausage Shop sells more than 75 sausage varieties while the Exchange Coffee Company stocks more than 35 coffees and 60 specialist teas.Clitheroe Castle, said to be the smallest Norman castle in England, is now home to a Museum and 16 acres of landscaped gardens and overlooks the winding shopping streets.

Gardening Break 2010 - £350 per room

Monday 7th & Tuesday 8th June 2010 

After many successful lunches with gardening lecturer Peter Foley owner of Holden Clough Nursery and Waddow Lodge Gardens we have decided to get together to arrange a two-night break for the horticulturists amongst you.

Arrive Monday and relax with an afternoon cream tea, served between 3.30 pm & 4.00 pm and settle into your luxurious accommodation before dinner in our award-winning restaurant.

After breakfast on Tuesday convene for a tour of the Gibbon Bridge gardens, hosted by our estate manager, Robert Lowe. Rob will give you a guided tour of the manicured gardens, the extensive vegetable plot and wildlife ponds, including ducks, pigs and perhaps the apiary! He will also include a history of how the gardens have developed, under his supervision, over the last 27 years and will then return hungry guests to the new Orangery for a hot sandwich lunch.

After a short drive to Waddow Lodge Garden, Peter will give an informative educational tour of the fascinating revitalised garden around the Georgian house. Perennials, Shrubs, Alpines, Roses, Heathers, Conifers, Fruit and Vegetables are all on display. Peter and his fiancée Liz Dean manage the whole garden on organic principles with environmentally friendly gardening at the forefront of the growing techniques with all available waste material composted on site. In addition a small selection of interesting plants are being grown on site for sale to visitors or supply by mail order.
After an afternoon tea with cake and scones return to the hotel for a well earned rest before another gourmet dinner with your green-fingered friends and depart after a second night of opulence.

The price of the whole two-night stay including all the above is only £350 per room.
