The details

With jaw-dropping interiors and luxury as standard, The Cartford has it all. The beautifully designed rooms, along with the marvellous cabins in the grounds, offer a memorable stay in the heart of some of Lancashire's finest countryside. With views across the Bowland Fells and the River Wyre, it's a very special location, where peaceful surroundings and exceptional hospitality combine to create an unforgettable escape. And it's not just the stunning interiors and spectacular setting to look forward to. The award-winning restaurant showcases the region's finest produce, making this a destination that's every bit as much about exceptional dining as it is about relaxing in luxury. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a special celebration or simply a restorative break in the country, every stay is designed to feel indulgent from start to finish.

Occupying a beautifully restored former inn, The Cartford has evolved into a stylish restaurant with rooms, combining rich heritage with contemporary comfort. Original character features sit effortlessly alongside elegant design, creating inviting spaces that feel warm, refined and full of personality. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, resulting in a boutique hotel experience that's both luxurious and wonderfully welcoming.

The rooms are tastefully decorated and filled with comfy furnishings. From big luxurious beds to open freestanding bath tubs, they really do have everything you need for a relaxing break in the country. Guests can choose from a Petite Luxury, Deluxe, Ground Floor or Executive Bedroom. Or, some of you may well prefer the extra cosiness afforded by one of the four amazing attic bedrooms. You may even opt for the luxurious space of the penthouse suite. Whichever room you choose, you can expect beautifully curated interiors, luxurious linens and thoughtful finishing touches that make it easy to settle in and unwind.

If you'd prefer a little more privacy, the two beautifully crafted cabins offer an equally luxurious escape. Complete with their own landscaped gardens and lovely views towards the river, they combine eclectic styling with antique furniture, striking artwork and one-off pieces to create truly memorable places to stay.

The restaurant has plenty more to offer. Open for lunch (except Monday lunchtime) and dinner, the dining room is just as beautifully styled and effortlessly welcoming. Indulge in some of Lancashire's finest produce, all carefully prepared by the team of chefs led by Chris Bury. Seafood, meat and game are locally sourced and expertly served up, with classic British dishes, innovative flavours and thoughtful French influences all featuring on the menu. Whether you're enjoying a leisurely lunch, an intimate dinner or a celebratory meal, every dish reflects the team's passion for seasonal ingredients and exceptional cooking.
