Stanley House is a 17thC manor house, which has undergone major restoration and sympathetic enhancement, leaving it to rank amongst the country's finest contemporary country house hotels, and a perfect venue for a wide range of events. Opened in late October 2004, Stanley House itself comprises twelve individually designed bedrooms, whilst the main reception area, bar, function suites, meeting rooms and acclaimed restaurant CASSIS are situated in the adjoining barn conversion. These attractive buildings are surrounded by beautifully maintained lawns and gardens, with fabulous views over the surrounding countryside. This idyllic location provides an attractive backdrop for any event, either business or leisure, yet only minutes from both the M6 and M65 providing quick and easy access to Cumbria, Manchester, Yorkshire and Merseyside. Why not use Stanley House as a base to explore the surrounding area. As well as the attractive towns and villages of the Ribble Valley, venture a little further afield to the Fylde Coast with its’ famous Victorian seaside towns of Lytham and St Annes on Sea or the brash and breezy resort of Blackpool. Visit the historic city of Lancaster, the brand new city of Preston, or for a quieter more peaceful experience, and stunning scenery, take a leisurely drive a little further North to the Lake District.
