Access Statement for Hark to Bounty

 

Introduction

Situated in the heart of the Forest of Bowland in the village of Slaidburn is The Hark to Bounty.  We are a family run real pub with 9 bedrooms. This is the perfect location for everyone. From walkers and cyclists to families or couples, there is so much to do in the local area.

We are 15 minutes by car from the market town of Clitheroe and 20mins from Settle. There are regular buses going to both of these places. Timetables are available form the Bar. We also have a large number of taxi firms, again numbers are available from the Bar.

We offer 8 bedrooms, one of which is a ground floor annex. However there are two steps into the building and one step inside the room into the bathroom.

All meals are cooked in house and wherever possible we use ingredients from local suppliers.
