Sykeside Country House Hotel in Rossendale

Came today for afternoon tea with my best friend. She booked and said it was very easy. The tea itself was superb. Excellent choice of sweet and savoury including hot options, wontons, hot mini quiche and soup to start. Tea was plentiful and refilled regularly. Service was attentive and friendly. A member of staff took me to a comfortable place to change my newborns nappy. We dined indoors as it is v.warm today but they have an orangery attached too. I wouldn't hesitate to return with friends or bring my family, dad, mil etc for a meal. I would also bring hubby for a date night. I'd like to bring my friend who's coeliac so enquired about gluten free and staff advised no problem with notice. It's a hidden gem and very reasonably priced! I hope they do seasonal events like Xmas afternoon tea as we'd love that too 😊

Every occasion visited has been first class. From our parents Golden Wedding, funerals and even an excellent 'takeaway afternoon tea' when my sister celebtated her 75th birthday but was terminally ill. Beautiful location. Brilliant staff. Great food! 💗

Had afternoon tea as part of an 80th birthday party,It was very nice.The staff were great and the venue is excellent.A nice selection of sandwiches and cakes.Bar prices were reasonable.

Went to a birthday party here. It's a lovely place oldy worldly, it doesn't hold to many people I think 40 for a sit down meal but there are 2 rooms one is a conservatory which looks very nice. The meal was lovely and hot plenty of veg to go with it and the puddings were loverly. Plenty of parking and easy access into the building, there are a few steps into the building but they are wide so not to bad to climb. It's a lovely place nice views. Well worth a visit.

I have used the establishment for meetings, weddings, dinners and funeral wakes. Relatives have stayed there.I have never been disappointed. The food is always very well presented and staff is friendly.

First visit to Sykeside Country House hotel, I was impressed with this beautiful grade II listed hotel. We attended a family gathering here, didn't stay but the downstairs reception rooms and restaurant are impressive. This house was once owned by composer Alan Rawsthorne and later by actor William Roache famed for his long standing role in Coronation Street.

Excellent Hotel, great service by Janet and Amy. Food excellent. Celebrated a family birthday. Would highly recommend.

Excellent place, food is really good and fairly priced nice relaxed atmosphere staff are all good and friendly will definitely be going back

Exceptionally good cream tea here on 5th February for an 80th birthday celebration. The staff were wonderful (shout out for Lydia!) and nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was fabulous - someone commented that it was better than the photos on the website - with beautifully soft bread with delicious fillings and an abundance of desserts, all of them fresh and carefully chosen to be part of the tea. Well done, chef! Tea, coffee in abundance. The best cream tea I've ever had. Highly recommended.

Lovely afternoon tea today which was enjoyed by all. The surroundings in the conservatory were comfortable and the staff attentive without being overbearing.Really nice experience.
