"Comfy beds, warm hospitality and good food"
Overview
The Millstone Mellor is a 17th-century coaching inn set in the Ribble Valley outside Blackburn, ideally placed for walking in Bowland or as a base to explore the local countryside. Bedrooms, some in an adjacent house, are comfortable and all are very well equipped with modern accessories such as coffee machines; a room for less mobile guests is also available. Meals are served all day in the characterful bar & restaurant, or even on the terrace when the weather allows it.
