About The Waddington Arms
The Waddington Arms suits travellers after a low-key base for walking country rather than a big hotel experience. With only six rooms, it functions as a proper pub with rooms, on Clitheroe Road, handy for those heading out into the Forest of Bowland or up onto the surrounding fells for the day.
Rooms are en-suite and kept simple, and there's a kitchen and drinks available in room alongside the usual comforts. Breakfast is served, packed lunches can be arranged for a day's walking, and kids' meals are available too, so it works for families as well as couples passing through. The bar and restaurant downstairs handle food and drink, with outdoor seating for warmer days, and there's free WiFi and 24 hour reception throughout.
Free on-site parking sits directly outside, useful given the pub's position for exploring on foot or by car, with cycling routes and walking country close by, plus other pubs, restaurants and entertainment nearby for evenings out. Pets are welcome, and there's an electric vehicle charge point for those arriving in an EV. It's a straightforward, unfussy stop for anyone wanting to be near Clitheroe and the Bowland fells without paying for extras they won't use.
