Romantic road trip stop over.
The Ribchester Arms is a beautifully renovated public house with 4 rooms. Dinner was delicious and the service was friendly. The rooms themselves were incredibly spacious, clean and renovated. Ribchester is a little lit of the way, but quiet and bucolic. This was a great stay on our English road trip.

Good pub, definite no for accomodation.
Good food, very clean room....BUT incredibly noisy from the pub. Ok if you want food and drink but definitely not for accomodation.... Noise until gone midnight( approximately 11.30 from noisy bar area) then from banging doors, dog barking(I assume this is staff dog as it was up near the rooms. Disappointing for accomodation.
