The hotel has received praise from celebrities such as Gemma Atkinson.
Gemma, the president of Edenfield-based Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary, visited Ribby Hall Village for her 40th birthday earlier this year.
The Bury-born actress shared an itinerary of her visit, which took place from January 24 to 26. This included a stay at The Stables accommodation on site, which includes a hot tub and a wrap-around garden.
The group also enjoyed a meal at the on-site Terrazza Italian restaurant and time in the spa.

Speaking to her 2.1million Instagram followers she said: 'It was brilliant – I have already booked to go back.
'I am going to take the kids, my mum [and other loved ones]. We are going to go back later on in the year when Gorka [Gemma's husband] is away because it was fab.'
Ribby Hall Village welcomes tens of thousands of guests every year. Guests get to enjoy the site's cottage and lodge accommodation, a vast array of sports and leisure activities, restaurants, café, bars and The Spa Hotel, which opened in 2011. The site is family-owned and run.
The site started in 1994 and began as 'a few caravans on a rundown site'. It is now home to hundreds of luxury holiday homes, from traditional static caravans to lodges.
In 1995 the sports centre opened its doors. The Health Club boasts family and adult swimming pools, a state-of-the-art gym, a variety of fitness classes, racquet sports, and a nine-hole golf course.

Former Exeter flanker Ewers retires aged 34
Dave Ewers is regarded as one of the key players during Exeter's trophy-winning years [Getty Images] Former Exeter flanker Dave Ewers has retired from rugby union. The 34-year-old came up through Exeter's academy ranks and was a key part of the side that reached six consecutive Premiership finals and won the 2020 European Champions Cup. Advertisement Injury kept him out of Exeter's 2017 Premiership final win over Wasps, but he started in their 2020 final victory against the same opponents having also started the Champions Cup final the week before. Ewers was called up to the England squad in February 2016, but a series of injuries meant he never went on to win an England cap. He made 226 Exeter appearances and scored 40 tries before joining Ulster in the summer of 2023. One Dave Ewers' greatest moments came when he helped Exeter win the European Champions Cup in 2020 [Rex Features] The Zimbabwe-born forward has spent the past season playing for Cape Town-based side Stormers in the United Rugby Championship where he played nine times. "Thank you to Rob (Baxter, Exeter director of rugby) and everyone involved at Exeter for giving me the opportunity all those years ago, was a special journey going from the Championship to winning the double in 2020," Ewers said on social media as he announced his retirement.

Xabi Alonso makes first major call on Real Madrid tenure
Real Madrid presented new manager Xabi Alonso to the media last week to plenty of fanfare, with the Basque manager's much-awaited arrival met positively by the fanbase. During his opening statements, he give little away about how his team would be setting up. Alonso stayed clear of defintitive statements on how his side would play, or what players would be there to play it, with the future of Rodrygo Goes thought to be up in the air – the Brazilian has since informed Los Blancos that he is keen to stay. The ex-Bayer Leverkusen man did note that he would be moving Jude Bellingham further back in midfield though, and that he wanted his side to be protagonists. Xabi Alonso makes Real Madrid formation decision According to Marca, Alonso has decided to park his preferred 3-5-2 formation at Leverkusen for the time being, and will work towards a 4-3-3 system for the time being. Previous reports had noted that Alonso was not thinking about making a radical change before the Club World Cup, and would reassess afterwards, and the Madrid-based daily explain that the coaching staff feel the current squad his not set up to play three at the back, although the 4-3-3 will not be the only system in mind. Image via Marca Vinicius Junior conversation incoming One of the things that has worried Alonso most after a detailed analysis of Los Blancos' recent games is the defensive attitude of some of his players, and Alonso is keen to emphasize that defending is required from the whole team. If that 4-3-3 does come into place, Vinicius Junior will likely be on the left wing, and he will hold a conversation with the Brazilian to make that clear to him. A system that benefits…? In theory, this system would benefit Rodrygo Goes more than anyone, who together with Brahim Diaz has a more natural position in a 4-3-3 than a 3-5-2. At the very least, they would have a clearer path to a starting spot. It is news that may be less encouraging for the likes of Dai Carvajal, Antonio Rudiger, Eder Militao and Raul Asencio, who with new signings arriving in their positions, face increased competition without increased spaces in the starting XI.

Is Doechii's Oversized Balloon Jacket Summer's Newest Style Trend?
Source: Bryan Bedder / Getty When it comes to commanding the stage, rapper and budding style icon Doechii never misses. However, her May 31 performance at the Samsung Edge in New York didn't just deliver a flawless stage performance but a flawless fit, too. The Florida-born rapper has again gone viral. This time in a statement-making ensemble that blurs the lines between high fashion and hip-hop flair. The fashion girls are talking – and taking notes. The Grammy-winning artist hit the Samsung stage as part of a new partnership with the tech brand. She wore a dramatic balloon-shaped trench coat layered over a crisp white button-down and maroon necktie. Styled by Sam Woolfe, the look was cinched just enough to reveal her tiny waist and mini length to show off her legs. She paired the funky outwear with high beige socks and sharp black stilettos. Adding to her look was makeup and hair for the 'gawds. Her makeup included a silver cut crease, flawless matte skin, and a glossy red lip. Gold hoops and wire-rimmed glasses gave her fit a soft throwback finish, and her signature face tape continues to be that girl. What we love about Doechii's balloon jacket is that it challenges the idea of what summer style is (or should look like). A departure from the typical warm-weather dressing of booty shorts, maxi dresses, and skimpy tops, the 'Anxiety' femcee's fit stood out. Her body was still bodying – and so was her style. Her jacket is also a nod to icons like Andre Leon Talley who always played with proportions by his own rules. Yes, the piece is just that good. If you're thinking about how to tap into the Doechii summer style trend, start with exaggerated outerwear in breathable fabrics. Think unexpected to expected from linen and chambray to seersucker and chiffon. Pair the outerwear with short hemlines or stackable layers that help balance the volume. Source: Bryan Bedder / Getty For those not ready to go bare-legged just yet, layer baggy silhouettes over shorts or bike sets. Add sleek heels or chunky sneakers to stand out and don't be afraid to play with accessories that contrast the drama. Doechii's summer style trend is for the girls who like to put that ish on. Her fashion era continues to evolve —and we're ready for every oversized moment.
