History & Character
The Lawrence is a 200-year-old Grade II listed venue, originally a row of terraced houses, now converted into a boutique hotel with preserved vintage decor. Each room is individually furnished with antique furniture, high ceilings, and original features such as roll-top baths in select suites. The property retains a warm, intimate scale with just a handful of rooms, ensuring personalized attention from the staff.
Dining & Drinks
The on-site restaurant serves an à la carte breakfast and evening meals sourced from local producers, with a focus on seasonal ingredients. Guests can participate in cocktail masterclasses led by the bar team, learning to craft classic and signature drinks. Afternoon tea is available daily, featuring homemade scones, sandwiches, and cakes, set in the dining room or garden terrace.
Rooms & Amenities
Rooms come with Temple Spa toiletries, premium bedding, and a guest kitchen on the first floor stocked with cereals, fruit, fresh milk, and an ice machine for self-service snacks. Select suites include a freestanding roll-top bath positioned within the bedroom, plus a separate shower room. The guest kitchen is a unique facility often highlighted by reviewers for its convenience and thoughtful extras.
Pet-Friendly & Business
The hotel welcomes dogs with a dedicated goody bag, calming treats, and a dog menu available in the restaurant during meal times. Corporate guests have access to meeting and banquet facilities for up to 40 people, along with express check-in/check-out and daily housekeeping. The pet-friendly policy extends to allowing dogs to dine with their owners in the restaurant and bar area.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The hotel sits in Padiham, a 10-minute drive from Burnley and 15 minutes from the scenic Ribble Valley and Clitheroe. Outdoor activities include walking Pendle Hill, visiting Gawthorpe Hall (closed winter), or attending the Clitheroe Food Festival.
