The Inn at Whitewell

The personal touch

The glorious Inn at Whitewell, set on the banks of the river Hodder, amid the wild and breathtaking beauty of the Trough of Bowland, is Whitewell – yet, despite its splendid isolation (set your SatNav when leaving the M6), there is much to enjoy when you eventually arrive. The Inn at Whitewell boasts seven miles of fishing rights (four rods), and the rambling premises embrace a thriving wine merchant and shop, plus 23 individually decorated bedrooms; it’s also situated in grand walking and cycling country, with paths and trails radiating from the front door. Owner Charles Bowman and his staff have imbued this ancient stone hostelry with warmth, personality and a pleasing quirkiness – in fact the whole place is wonderfully relaxed, laid-back and mildly eccentric, with a lived-in country-house feel. Expect a hotchpotch of antique furnishings and paintings, blazing log fires, heavy beams and colourful rugs on stone or wood floors throughout the taproom, the library and warren of dining areas. The views across the river valley and surrounding moorland are spectacular from almost every room.
 

Sticky fingers

Children are most welcome. Smaller portions are available at lunch and dinner, while sofa beds are provided in 10 bedrooms (£35 a night for children 2-12 years); travel cots (up to 2 years) are also available.
 

Muddy paws

The inn is in the heart of prime shooting and walking country, so dogs are made very welcome in the bar and bedrooms. However, if they get too vocal in bar, owner Charles would like you to act swiftly.
 

Alfresco

Arrive early on warm sunny days to bag one of the teak tables on the fabulous front terrace. A long lunch or lingering early-evening drink is guaranteed as you soak up the terrific views down the beautiful Hodder Valley.
 

What’s on?

Fishing, guided walks and tutored wine tastings can be organised.

The Inn at Whitewell

Mastering the menu

Jamie Cadman has headed up the kitchen team for some 17 years and continues to please guests with his competent modern British cooking. His generous, satisfying dishes range from potted crab, traditional fish pie or Cumberland sausages with champ in the bar to seared scallops wrapped in pancetta with pea purée followed by whole roast Goosnargh poussin with sage and onion croquette, bread sauce and gravy from the evening carte in the restaurant – an elegant, yet unpretentious room with white linen napery and candlelight. The local area provides the kitchen with fantastic beef and lamb from Burholme Farm down the road and great game from the Dunsop shoot, while other produce is sourced from around the Ribble Valley. Puddings are ‘sometimes nursery-like’ (according to the menu) – witness plum and lemon curd Bakewell tart with vanilla cream and crème anglaise. Alternatively, round off with a plate of Lancashire cheeses and a glass of Quinta Nova port.
 

On the menu

Evening carte:
Home-cured gravadlax £8.75
Homemade black pudding, smoked bacon, fried egg and mustard emulsion £7.80
Rump of Bowland lamb, crispy lamb breast, garlic mash and minted pea purée £21.50
Roast loin of Cumbrian venison, mushroom pithivier and red wine jus £24.50
Vanilla rice pudding with spiced plum compote £6
 

Sunday Roasts

Roast Burholme Farm beef with all the trimmings 
 

Foodie Extras

With no shop for miles around, hampers and picnic lunches are available to order – perfect if you wish to head off into hills for all-day walks and bike rides, or fancy  a spot of fishing or shooting.
 

Time to Eat

Lunch:  12 noon - 2pm
Dinner: 7.30pm - 9.30pm (restaurant à la carte evenings only)
 

Local, local, local

Bowland beef and Lonk lamb - Burholme Farm, Forest of Bowland
Grouse from Lancashire Moor
Pheasant and partridge from Dunsop shoot
Salmon smoked by Giles the fishmonger for 24 hours
Mrs Kirkham’s Lancashire cheese, Preston (www.mrskirkhams.com)
Real ale – Bowland Brewery, Clitheroe (www.bowlandbrewery.com)
 

Behind the bar

Expect to find up to five ales on hand pump, notably North Country brews from Bowland and Copper Dragon, plus organic ginger beer, lemonade, fruit juices and – most important of all – a superlative list of 200 wines with 16 by the glass. Charles Bowman’s business (Bowland Forest Vintners) is still very much an independent wine merchant, with a bias towards smaller producers and ‘natural’ winemakers who concentrate on quality rather than mass-production. Arranged by style rather than region, the ever-changing list is a delight to explore – and every bottle can be purchased from the shop at reception.
 

Bar Meals

Pork terrine with homemade piccalilli £6.50
Whitewell fish pie £11.25
Fish and chips £13.50
Char-grilled sirloin of beef £19.50
Cheese and onion pie £12.80
Honey-spiced ham sandwiches (lunchtime only) £7.60

WALKING

www.forestofbowland.com
Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in 1964, the rugged grandeur of the Forest of Bowland is a spectacular part of Britain’s Pennine landscape - where steep-sided valleys and tracts of heather-covered grouse moor entice the walker. In addition to gentler routes and family rambles, there are longer walks to try – among them the long-distance Ribble Way and Pendle Way.

CYCLING

www.forestry.gov.uk/wmidlands
One of the best destinations for cycling in the Forest of Bowland is Gisburn, in the region’s south-east corner. This is Lancashire’s largest forest and within it you’ll find several graded, colour-coded mountain bike trails. There’s a green route for beginners, while those who like their cycling to be more challenging there is a 8.5km blue route and a 20km red route.

FESTIVALS AND EVENTS
www.forestofbowland.com
The Forest of Bowland is blessed with a great many festivals and events, celebrating and reflecting the cherished traditions and rich heritage of this unique area. There are art events - including ceramic workshops, photography, theatre and creative writing - wildlife meadow walks, and farm visits for families.

 

Inn Location - The Inn at Whitewell

Activities

Gliding PR3 2WN
For a taste of real Pennine adventure, try soaring on the thermals high above the stunning landscape of the Forest of Bowland. This exhilarating activity captures the region’s varied scenery at its best.

Settle-Carlisle Railway, Settle BD24 9EJ
More like a cleverly designed visitor attraction than a vital lifeline serving countless communities in the wilds of Cumbria and North Yorkshire, the Settle-Carlisle Railway offers a constant, eye-catching backdrop of green fells and moorland. Make a day of it and jump on and off the train at any number of stops en route.

Fishing BB7 3AT
The Forest of Bowland boasts four of the most scenic and picturesque rivers – the Ribble, Hodder, Wyre and Lune – which mainly offer game fish, including salmon, brown trout and sea trout. The upper Hodder has a growing reputation for grayling fishing. For a directory of other places to fish in the region, visit: www.environment-agency.gov.uk

Places to Visit

Browsholme Hall, Cow Ark, Clitheroe BB7 3DE
Pronounced ‘Brusome’, the hall is the oldest surviving family home in Lancashire, the ancestral home of the Parker family, who have lived there since it was built in 1507. Together with the gardens it is open to visitors from May to September. Chinese porcelain and antique oak furniture are among many fine items on display.

Bowland Wild Boar Park, Chipping, PR3 2QT
Whether it’s a picturesque stroll by the river Hodder, tractor rides for the kids, lunch in the cafe or simply to view the wild boar and longhorn cows, this animal park in the Forest of Bowland is a great day out for families.

Glasson LA2 0DB
On the Lancashire coast just south of Lancaster, Glasson is a tiny port crammed with colourful narrow boats, coasters and yachts. Look out for Glasson Smokehouse, noted for its Morecambe Bay potted shrimps and wild Lune salmon. Ruined Cockersand Abbey enhances the scene.

Yorkshire Dales Lead Mining Museum, Earby, Barnoldswick BB18 6QF
This visitor attraction offers the chance to view a unique collection of tools, photographs and memorabilia reflecting the mining, dressing and smelting of lead ore. Other items include, of all things, a steel hook and socket worn by a miner who had lost his hand.

Lancaster LA1 1TH
Close to the Forest of Bowland lies one of Britain’s oldest and most fascinating cities. This was Lancashire’s former county town and here you can tour its historic streets and quaint riverside quays. The castle and the priory look out over the rooftops and down near the waterfront the very informative Maritime Museum recalls the era of cotton and slavery.

Pendle Heritage Centre, Colne Road, Nelson BB9 6JQ
The centre explains in great detail the history and origins of local people and where they settled. The museum tearooms and shops are housed in attractively restored farm buildings overlooking Pendle Water.

Gawthorpe Hall, Padiham, Burnley BB12 8UA
Sir Charles Barry, who designed the Palace of Westminster, was responsible for the striking interiors of this imposing house outside Burnley. Gawthorpe Hall was once home to the Kay-Shuttleworth family, influential figures in the local textile industry. There are paintings here on loan from the National Portrait Gallery.

Shopping

The Emporium, Moor Lane, Clitheroe BB7 1BE
Expect a few surprises at this former Methodist chapel site, which has been lovingly and painstakingly converted to provide three huge levels for eating, drinking and shopping, or more specifically a coffee shop, wine bar and brasserie, and interior design superstore.

Precious, King Street, Whalley BB7 9SP
This small independent boutique shop is known for handpicked items from many parts of Europe including jewellery, clothing and accessories.

Simpsons, Greenfield Road, Colne BB8 9PF
Bespoke furniture is Simpson’s speciality. Founded in 1977, the company employs a large team, including skilled craftsmen, all of whom are based in a striking 18th-century mill.

Dawsons Department Store, King Street, Clitheroe BD7 2EU
A family-owned business at the heart of the Ribble Valley, Dawsons is the leading independent house-ware store in the area. Departments include a cookshop, and there’s Moorcroft, Bedeck and Sheridan bed linen and Hartman garden furniture.

Stydd Gardens, Stoneygate Lane, Ribchester PR3 3YN
Stydd Gardens is one of the region’s quirkiest shopping venues – hugely captivating, entertaining, vintage shabby and chic – with a garden nursery with the accent on old-fashioned roses and plants grown on site, and a bespoke wine company among the attractions.

BOOKINGS AND VOUCHERS

Our site is an online platform that allows you to search for and book accommodation. We are acting as disclosed agent for the relevant inns featured on our site. This means that any booking or contractual arrangement you make with any entity featured on our site is made with that entity, and not with us. By entering information into the booking software, you authorise us to pass on all relevant information to those entities with whom you are seeking to make a reservation, and to control and/or process such data in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998. In order to make a booking you are required to provide credit card details. We will enable the relevant inn to gain access to the credit card details via the site in the event of any cancellation and a cancellation charge is due. By making a booking you are expressly authorising access to and use of such data and for the relevant inn to deduct the cancellation charges notified to you in the event of a cancellation.

Bookings will be subject to the terms and conditions of the individual entity with whom you contract, including any cancellation polices they may apply. It is your responsibility to check the terms of such entities before you enter your contract with them. If you wish to cancel a booking, you must cancel using the site unless exceptional circumstances do not permit you to gain access to the site, in which case you should liaise directly with the inn concerned. In either case you may be liable for cancellation charges. Whenever your booking is cancelled whether directly or via the site, it is your responsibility to check your account with HIP to confirm the booking has been cancelled and to be notified of any relevant charges (and to pay them). If you do not attend the inn on the dates booked, this will be treated as a cancellation by the relevant inn on the applicable terms. The accommodation provider’s cancellation policy may continue to apply after your arrival at your inn. In the event that you decide to shorten the duration of your stay, such a request will be dealt with at the discretion of the accommodation provider, and not by us in our capacity as the booking agent. If you amend your booking in this way there may be a cancellation fee levied by the accommodation provider and you should refer to the provider’s cancellation policy for more details. Where the accommodation provider requires a minimum stay for rooms attracting a certain price, this will be clearly stated on our site prior to booking.

We are not responsible for inaccuracies in the booking process; you must check carefully the agreed dates and prices before completing your booking. In particular, you are advised to check the availability of any offers, promotional codes, or the acceptance of gift vouchers before completing the booking, as well as whether any special requirements you may have can be met. Please note that Inn Places Special Gifts may not be available at all the inns where special promotions are being run, and such promotions may have additional terms and conditions applicable.

Although we gather credit card information to secure the booking, the booking will be with the relevant inn to whom, by virtue of you starting the booking process you authorise us to transmit the credit card information.

To confirm a booking, you must be authorised to make the booking by all the persons named on the booking and their parent or guardian for all party members who are under 18 when the booking is made. By making the booking, you are confirming that all persons named on the booking accept the terms and that you will inform the other persons named on the booking of the confirmation details and any other appropriate information. By making the booking you also become responsible for making all payments due under the booking.

The display of accommodation for hire on the site is an invitation to treat only.

By completing and submitting the booking form you are making an offer to book temporary accommodation room nights, which if accepted by accommodation providers, will result in a binding contract made between you and the accommodation provider.

Completing the booking process online does not constitute acceptance of your offer. We will send you an email confirmation following your booking on behalf of the accommodation provider confirming acceptance of your offer and forming the legally binding contract subject to any applicable terms and conditions.

Because the contract for your accommodation is between you and the relevant inn, any queries or concerns should be addressed to them. If you have a problem during your visit, this must be reported to the inn immediately. If you fail to follow this procedure there will be less opportunity for the inn to investigate and rectify your complaint. The amount of compensation you may be entitled to from the inn may be reduced or you may not receive any at all depending upon the circumstances. If you wish to complain when you return home, you should address your complaint to the inn concerned.
