We offer a variety of onsite activities for guests of all ages and interests, perfect for adding some fun, laughter or calm to your countryside stay.
Treat yourself to a little luxury with our private hot tub experiences. Nestled within our picturesque grounds and overlooking the Lancashire countryside, our hot tub areas offer the perfect space to unwind, de-stress and take in the fresh air. Whether it’s a romantic evening soak under the stars or a relaxing moment after a day exploring, this is a must-do during your stay. Hot tub experiences are available to book in advance and include robes, towels and a glass of fizz for that extra touch of indulgence. Simply speak to our team at reception to reserve your slot.
Step back in time with a classic game of croquet on our beautiful lawns. Set against the backdrop of the countryside and our historic building, croquet is a wonderfully relaxed way to spend an afternoon — whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned pro. Gather your friends or family and enjoy a few competitive rounds as you soak in the views and sunshine. Equipment is provided, and our team will be happy to explain the rules if you’re new to the game. It’s charming, social, and quintessentially British.
Our grounds are made for play. During spring and summer months, guests can enjoy a range of traditional garden games on the lawn. From giant Jenga and Connect 4 to bean bag toss and ring toss, there’s something fun for kids and grown-ups alike. Perfect for families, groups, or couples looking for a light-hearted way to spend time outdoors. Take your drink out from the bar, enjoy a little sunshine, and embrace your competitive side in a beautiful countryside setting.
If the weather takes a turn or you’re after a cosy night in, we’ve got a great selection of board games available at reception. Choose from classic favourites like Monopoly, Cluedo, Scrabble or more modern family-friendly options. Whether you’re curling up by the fire in our lounge or hosting a tournament in your room, board games offer a perfect way to relax, reconnect and make memories during your stay. Simply ask our team for a list and borrow your favourites, complimentary for all our overnight guests.
