A HOTEL is reporting a tourism boost following recent high temperatures.

Mytton Fold Hotel and Golf Complex in the Ribble Valley said guests were extending their stay as a result of the fine summer weather.

Manager Barbara Bryan said the hotel was seeing an increase in tourists, as well as extended stays.

Guests who come for a golf trip have been inspired to stay and explore the surrounding area of late.

She said: “Quite often people book for two nights then decide to extend it by one or two more nights as the area is so lovely and they want to see more.”
