At Northcote, we’re proud to be part of the beautiful Ribble Valley, on the doorstep of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Whether you’re joining us for a meal, a coffee, drinks with friends, an event or an overnight stay, we invite you to help us care for this special place.
Small actions can make a meaningful difference and there are many simple ways to enjoy the area responsibly, during your visit.

Travel sustainably – Northcote is well connected by rail and bus, with local public transport links providing access to nearby villages and towns. The railway line also offers convenient connections across Lancashire and direct travel to Manchester, making car-free exploration easy.
Travel electric – Guests arriving by electric vehicle are welcome to use our complimentary EV charging facilities, helping support lower-emission travel choices.
Enjoy local produce – We are passionate about showcasing exceptional ingredients from Lancashire and the surrounding region, supporting local growers, farmers and producers wherever possible.
Shop and visit local – From independent shops and farm shops, to artisan makers and local attractions, choosing local businesses helps support the communities that make the Ribble Valley such a special place to visit.
Use water thoughtfully – simple choices, such as only requesting fresh towels when needed, or being mindful of water use, can help conserve this valuable resource.
Save energy – switching off lights, televisions and chargers when not required, can help reduce energy consumption.
Recycle where possible – please make use of recycling facilities provided around the hotel. If you’re unsure where to recycle something, our team will be happy to help.
Reuse rather than replace – reusing towels and requesting fewer linen changes on multi night stays can help reduce water, energy and detergent use.
