Welcome to Foxfield's 

“I first came to the Ribble Valley in 1988 as an Area Manger with Beverly Hotels London Limited. I was on the lookout for further acquisitions for the company and had heard of the Foxfield's – a very prestigious restaurant and single function room set in the glorious Ribble Valley with breath taking views! I was so impressed that I recommended that the company buy it. They built 28 suited bedrooms (each with their own sitting room), extended the function room and increased the size of the restaurant. Subsequently, the company was sold and during the following years, the new owners built a further 16 club rooms with dressing rooms and a leisure club equipped with a small gymnasium, steam room, sauna and swimming pool.

As you can imagine, when I heard the Foxfield's Country Hotel was for sale I jumped at the chance to put the love and excitement back into the building. Luckily, my enthusiasm was well supported by my wife, Jean, who has also gained vast experience in hotels by running our own local hotel for nine years (which we sold in 2007) and working as a course director for teaching front office systems and sales at a large college in the South of England. Fortunately, our son, David, was also keen to be involved as General Manager. He is dedicated to hotels and restaurants as since leaving university he has worked successfully in managerial positions at local establishments including Mitton Hall, The Pines Hotel at Chorley and the AJ Bell Stadium in Salford, developing a wealth of experience from these positions.”
