Mitton Hall is a 15th century countryside manor converted into a hotel, event venue, and restaurant…read morewith plenty of opportunity for luxury and elegance. It sits in Ribble Valley and still holds much of the original foundation. There are frequent events, such as themed teas and dinners, workshops, Christmas festivities, and wedding showcases. There is plenty of parking and a lot of space for weddings, large events, conferences, etc. We came here for a Saturday night dinner with friends. There was a wedding going on which seemed to take up much of the foyer and bar area, but luckily we came right after they moved into the large event space joining the bar. I'm not sure why wedding guests are mixed with the general public bar/dining areas - that seems to be a flaw here. Dinner was very much ~okay~, but I was kind of expecting a lot more given how luxurious and historical this venue is. The service was very slow and inattentive. Food was average. A few staff were hard at work while others just stood there chatting. When we were given dessert wine instead of port, we were told we were wrong and had to essentially convince the server to switch our incorrect drinks out - which should never happen at a nice restaurant. I give this venue a good rating due to the ambiance, but I certainly would recommend vast improvement in service.

What a beautiful place the Ribble Valley is. And Mitton Hall is no exception…read more Built hundreds of years ago in the era of Henry the Seventh, it is a grand old Hall/Manor house that offers a lovely setting, individually decorated Suites (the Mitton and Ribble are my favorites) that have views over landscape ahead, a highly rated restaurant downstairs that serves delicious, wonderfully prepared dishes made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients from the markets and butchers, along with a fantastic little pub that offers locally brewed beers and a wide array of wines and spirits served by warm, friendly, genuinely helpful staff. We will be back. Often.

The kids loved it as well. It can be a little bit expensive to see a show here but if you go with a group of people you get a huge discount off ticket prices. I would reccomend everyone to book there tickets in advance as well as they do sell out very very quick when a good act is on. I wanted to see Beautiful South perform last year but all the tickets sold out within 2 days. The staff are ok in here but a little bit sstuck up. Overall a beautiful building a great night out. There is always something for the whole family to see here.

The restaurants and café's are rather expensive though. If you're looking for trinkets and gifts there are a number of local craftspeople who have their own stalls here. Unfortunately the place seems to have lost some of its magic in recent years, it no longer holds such a diversity of products and the tourist attractions don't seem as exiting. Maybe I'm just getting de-sensitised!
