GOURMETS can wine, dine and stay in style at a top country hotel.

Hospitality students from Wigan and Leigh College will be hosts at the famed Moorcock Inn offering bargain-priced winter breaks on the outskirts of Clitheroe.

Guests can enjoy a three-day, two nights stay for an all-in £85 per head for dinner, bed and breakfast at the comfortable moorland retreat.

That price includes afternoon tea on arrival (Tuesday, January 20) after which guests will enjoy a gourmet dinner with entertainment by a top pianist.

The following morning, after breakfast, guests will enjoy a coach tour of the Ribble Valley returning in time for afternoon tea.

A murder mystery evening, including dinner, follows and guests are free to do as they wish on Thursday before leaving after lunch.
