Barton Manor Hotel & Spa, BW Signature Collection  

Nestled in the green heart of Lancashire, just off the M6 and 5 minutes from J32, Barton Manor Hotel & Spa sits between Preston, Blackpool and the Trough of Bowland. It’s a short drive to Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Tower, about 9 miles from Brockholes nature reserve, and two miles from The Flower Bowl entertainment complex. This family-friendly 4-star manor-style hotel is a great base for coastal days, country walks and local attractions.

A stylish contemporary feel meets the original manor’s charm — think elegant public rooms, extensive landscaped gardens and a grand piano. The property is family owned and offers 51 bedrooms (43 in the main hotel and 8 in secluded Barton Lodge) with options from standard doubles and family rooms to deluxe rooms with Nespresso machines, Sky TV, luxury toiletries and handcrafted mattresses.

Soak in the indoor pool, unwind in the sauna and spa, or hit the gym for a quick workout. Over 100 parking spaces and secluded gardens add convenience and calm — perfect for waking up to peaceful, green views before heading out to explore.

Well-equipped conference and function rooms plus wedding facilities make it a smart pick for meetings, events and celebrations. Large grounds and ample parking help with event logistics.

Dine in the bistro or experience the hotel’s award-winning restaurant run by head chef Boyd Dalton-Kenny. Grab a coffee at the on-site Starbucks or enjoy a drink outside in the landscaped gardens after a hearty breakfast or evening meal.
