Save to favouritesPrintMailThe AshtonAn unusual place in an unlikely location. If the inside of this handsome Georgian house looks like the set of "Lost in Austen" (with a dash of 21st-century flair), it’s no coincidence: owner James was the set decorator on the ITV period drama. Theatrical this hotel certainly is, with dramatic colour schemes, beautiful lighting and top-notch bathrooms and bedlinen. Enjoy the house party atmosphere and original art in the candlelit lobby and dining room, or retreat upstairs to your [r:UK056:room] and revel in space and luxury. While the house is old (1834 to be precise), furnishings are strictly contemporary, with clean lines and sensuous silks and suedes, and the odd antique chair judiciously thrown in for fun. As well being as the artistic talent behind this gem, James is the perfect host, a great cook and ever attentive to the details that make this a really special place. Swathed in 3/4 acre of grounds, the Ashton feels both isolated and ideally located: 5 minutes from the centre of Lancaster, great countryside and the M6. The perfect stopover.
