Bed and Breakfast Blackburn | Welcome

The windmill at Mellor is known as the Giants plate; we have been established for many years but have undergone a refurbishment in November 2006. We are now a hotel and restaurant with luxury en-suite bedrooms. The hotel and restaurant is run by Trisha Stuart and Ian who have been involved in catering for 20 years, head chef Simon and his kitchen staff are all very experienced. All the staff will make you’re eating experience a memorable one. We are proud to say we use local produce and only use free range eggs which are corn fed. Conveniently located for Preston, Blackburn and Clitheroe. The Windmill at Mellor is positioned within easy reach of the M6 or the M65 as we are on the main road which leads straight on to the motorway. We are the perfect meeting place for company representatives as we have a large restaurant where meetings can be booked. The windmill has complimentary high speed wireless internet access making it easy to keep in touch

At Riverside Barn, we aim to provide our guests with a haven of luxury and relaxation in the Ribble Valley, an exquisite part of Lancashire. Whilst we are only a 15 minute drive from Preston, Blackburn, and the M6, we are a world away. We have a 5 star rating from visit Britain and have also been awarded a silver accolade for our accommodation. 2007 was an exciting year for us at the barn as we won the Lancashire and Blackpool B&B of the year competition 2007/2008 and were finalists in the North-West tourist awards. We offer the stylish rooms and meticulous service of a top hotel, but with all the personal touches of a small family run business. The barn nestles in an enviable picture-postcard setting on the banks of the River Ribble, in the historic village of Ribchester. The village lies on the edge of the Forest of Bowland, an area of outstanding natural beauty. Explore and discover over 300 square miles of sublime upland scenery and unspoilt villages. Treat yourself. Come, unwind and enjoy... Susie and Andy Talbot
