Hipping Hall
Style Historic fine dining
Setting Verdant Lune Valley
A cluster of ivy-clad stone buildings set in three acres of greenery, Lancashire restaurant with rooms Hipping Hall is a lovingly restored 15th-century hamlet. In contrast to the soothing neutrals and airy tranquility of the bedrooms, the reception room, bar and lounge are strikingly opulent, with just a dash of kitsch. The elegant bathrooms have all been designed in a different natural stone, with deep double-ended baths.
