Macdonald Kilhey Court

On the edge of Wigan, perched beside Worthington Lakes and Arley Reservoir. About 5 km from the city centre and a short stroll to Worthington Lakes Country Park, Yarrow Valley and Haigh Country Park. Easy driving access to Manchester and Liverpool; Knowsley Safari Park is roughly 21 miles away.

A 4-star Victorian country-house hotel set in about 10 acres of mature grounds and woodland, originally built in 1884. The property has 62 rooms with countryside and lake views, landscaped gardens and an ornate conservatory for dining. The vibe mixes classic period detail with modern comforts — recently upgraded spa, cosy lounges with log fires, and eco-certified credentials. Pet-friendly and family-friendly, with dedicated children’s swim times and playrooms.

Relax in the Vital Spa with a heated indoor pool, sauna, steam room, whirlpool and Technogym, or hit the fitness centre. Two bars and comfy lounges, a snack deli and 24-hour room service keep things easy. Free on-site parking for around 300 vehicles and complimentary Wi‑Fi. Wake up to lake-breeze mornings and take walks through the landscaped grounds.

A conference centre with 11 meeting rooms and a business centre makes it event-ready. Banqueting and wedding services are available, plus complimentary Wi‑Fi and a 24-hour front desk.

An award-winning on-site restaurant serves refined dishes with an excellent wine list in the ornate conservatory. Two bars and lounges for after-dinner drinks, and cooked-to-order breakfast is served daily (fee applies).
