1823 Spinning Block Hotel
About
The 1823 Spinning Block Hotel in Clitheroe is a striking blend of historic gravitas and contemporary comfort. Nestled in a former cotton mill, the boutique hotel retains the original industrial character – exposed brick walls, timber beams, and thoughtful architectural detailing – while offering 39 elegant rooms decked in modern, mid‑range décor. Guests can wake up to sweeping views of the Ribble Valley, dine at the on‑site Bowland Brewery’s expansive Beer Hall, sample artisanal dishes in the nearby Bowland Food Hall, or unwind with a pint in the sweeping Bar & Grill. For those seeking culture and entertainment, the property also houses an Everyman Cinema, a unique duck‑pin bowling alley in the Boiler House, and versatile office spaces in the Weaving Shed Business Centre. With events ranging from live music and food festivals to weddings held in the iconic Cotton Room or Bar & Grill, the hotel offers an immersive experience that celebrates Lancashire’s industrial heritage and vibrant local scene.
