Garstang Hotel & Golf Club

Garstang is a family-run estate and it shows in the feel of the place. The same owners have held the land for over 200 years, and there's a warmth to the welcome that's hard to fake. If you're used to big, uniform hotel chains, this is the opposite. Service is personal and staff tend to remember what you're here for.

There are 32 bedrooms, all comfortable and well kept, ideal for a one-night golf stopover or a longer weekend. Rooms have the essentials you want after 18 holes: a good bed, a quiet setting and enough space to unpack without living out of a golf bag. If it's a special occasion, ask about the upgraded rooms with four-poster beds. They're a nice touch for anniversaries, birthdays or a "we don't do this often" kind of trip.

Step outside and you're straight into Lancashire countryside. Views are of fields, trees and the river valley, so it's an easy place to switch off once you've finished your round. The atmosphere is relaxed rather than formal, which suits golf groups who want an easy base and a comfortable bar for the post-round chat.

The Kingfisher Restaurant is the main dining room and it takes the food seriously. The kitchen works with locally sourced produce where available, so you'll often see seasonal specials and classic British dishes done well, with generous portions and a focus on flavour rather than fuss. It's the kind of cooking that works perfectly after 18 holes, hearty and satisfying without being overly complicated.

For something more casual, the Bradbeer Bar serves lighter bites and snacks throughout the day. Handy for a sandwich at lunch, then a pint after the round, or settling in for the evening with your group. The bar has a proper clubhouse feel to it, friendly and unpretentious, and it's where you'll find the members and visitors mixing easily. Whether you're planning a quick overnight or a longer stay, Garstang offers the kind of straightforward, genuine hospitality that makes a golf break feel properly relaxing.
