The Waddington Arms

The hotel was in a beautiful village with ample parking at the back. Check in was friendly and simple. The room was small but clean, comfortable and very well decorated. We had breakfast the next morning which was delicious and staff were super friendly and helpful. We had a lovely stay and would recommend

We had an excellent stay for 2 nights, we had been to the pub several times but not stayed before. . The food was excellent for an evening meal and breakfast both days. The staff are extremely friendly and professional and could not do enough for you. The owner greeted us on arrival and was most informative and welcoming. The pub is set in the idyllic village of Waddington in The Ribble Valley with plenty of walks and two other pubs close by. Including the small town of Clitheroe. We would highly recommend a visit to the pub and stay. We will definitely visit again in the near future as we love this part of Lancashire.

A very real credit to the village of Wattisham. A first class facility, excellent management & associated staff, Kitchen produced excellent food, amazing value for money. Restred our faith in British hospitality. The church clock bells a very very small price to pay

We sat in the rear garden on a sunny bank holiday Monday. It was busy but the tables were quickly cleared and the food looked very appetising. The landlord gave digs drinks of water and biscuits. There were 3 Bowland brewery ales in draught. They were very well kept. What a lovely experience. We’ll be back. Thank you.

A family of 10 of us 4 children and 6 adults just turned up at the Waddington Arms we had not thought to book. The staff did everything they could to accommodate us for an evening meal. The staff are friendly and made us feel really welcome as a family giving the children a table to themselves with games and pictures to colour in. A log stove giving a warm atmosphere with great food and bowland ales perfect. Thank You.

The last two occasions my family and myself have made a 30 minute journey to visit what was once our favorite place for lunch for many years has unfortunately turned into a rude and disappointing place. Members of my family made a visit last month and were quite rudely turned away by who was once a very polite older gentleman and always went above and beyond to make us welcome previously. The venue has a beautiful outdoor area which now never seems to serve food outdoors like it’s too much effort. I recently rang the venue to book a table for lunch as didn’t want to travel and be left disappointed, the lady that answered the telephone abruptly told me I couldn’t book on the day which I find strange I have never known any other restaurant/pub that doesn’t take bookings on the day, but hey we decided to risk it on what she described as it’s a first come first severed basis, I asked if the outdoor area was available which was assured it was. We arrived at 1pm to be told yet again abruptly by the older gentleman no availability even though there were empty tables inside, and a completely empty outdoor area both at the front and rear of the venue, couples arriving after us were also turned away. Everyone from this venue were welcomed at the pub up the road which was a lot busier but still allocated a table. Absolutely discussed to say the least. Won’t ever visit again.
