What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
Rooms in the main house are a stylish mix of heritage architecture and contemporary décor; the new Garden Rooms are thoroughly, soothingly modern.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Aughton sits quietly amid the West Lancashire Coastal Plain, surrounded by woodlands and arable fields near the coast.
The rooms
Main house rooms pair original sixteenth-century timbers with modern furnishings, while standalone woodland lodges feature private decks and outdoor hot tubs.
At the table
Chef Mark Birchall shapes tasting menus from the estate's poly-tunnels, and the converted red-brick barn serves seasonal dishes.
How it began
Dating to 1282, the sixteenth-century manor house underwent a multi-million-pound restoration in 2015, reviving the estate around its working grounds.
