The Tickled Trout Hotel stands on the banks of the River Ribble, yet only minutes away from the M6. A haven from the tensions of motorway traffic, it’s the perfect location for business travellers, as well as those who want to explore the Dales or the Lake District (just 30 minutes away). The spacious bedrooms are all tastefully furnished with many rooms boasting panoramic views. The menu at Annabella’s Restaurant includes prime quality beef and seafood, prepared by a chef who obviously takes pride in his skill. Vegetarian dished are also favoured. You’ll enjoy taking your time choosing the wine. The wine list embraces the best of the Old World and the New. Single guests are well looked after. If you are dining alone there’s a good variety of half bottles from which you can choose.
