Renovated in 2005, this country house and spa hotel was first constructed more than 700 years ago. The original turrets, arcades, and wood panelling lend the building, which is decorated in a very modern way, a historical ambience. The hotel comprises a total of 180 rooms, of which one is a junior suite and three are wheelchair-accessible, over three floors. Guests will be received in an ancient welcoming lobby, and can deposit any valuables in the hotel safe for the duration of their stay. Culinary options include an elegant bar and an air-conditioned restaurant with demarcated non-smoking area. A conference room is available for business meetings and conferences, and room service completes the offerings. There are on-site parking spaces available for those arriving by car. It is a small nicely decorated lobby on the ground floor.

This hotel is situated within a well-maintained and highly attractive park near the Lancashire moors, and is an ideal starting point from which to explore the northwest of the country. The town centre of Accrington, with its range of shops, restaurants, bars, and pubs is about 3 km away, and can easily be reached in 5 minutes either by public transport or car. The train is recommended for longer excursions, and there is a station some 4 km from the hotel. Equally worthwhile is a trip to the Camelot theme park 30 km away or to Blackpool beach some 55 km from the hotel. Transfer times to Manchester airport are around 60 minutes, at a distance of 45 km.

Breakfast is served to guests every day. Lunch and dinner may be selected from a set menu or taken à la carte. The Cameo restaurant serves up international dishes and wines in addition to culinary specialities from Lancashire.
