“Luxurious 17th-century country house hotel set over 50 acres of Italianate gardens. For the best views book one of the period-inspired rooms in the manor house; a newer block features a more contemporary style. Indulge at the upmarket spa or enjoy Lancashire produce at the brasserie. Spoiling stuff.”
