WADDINGTON ARMS
Standing in the middle of the village from which it takes its name the Waddington Arms is very much at the heart of life in the fabulous Ribble Valley. It is the perfect place to eat, to drink, to sleep and most importantly for a village inn, it is also a great place to meet, relax and catch up with friends old and new. Fabulous food from well thought out menus is served for lunch and dinner seven days a week and 6 beautiful bedrooms provide a comfortable base for exploring the Ribble Valley, Lancashire and parts of West Yorkshire.
