Beat the crowds at the airport and treat yourself to a relaxing escape to The Millstone. Check-in, unwind and enjoy a glass of wine – or a pint of Thwaites ale - before heading out to explore the local area. Head for a stunning stately home found in the heart of Lancashire, Samlesbury Hall. It  is a haven for history-lovers, rich in incredible character and detail that makes for a special family day out.

After a busy day sightseeing, nestle down for a delicious, homecooked meal before slipping off for a cosy night’s sleep. Small details make a big difference, which is why Daniel Thwaites ensures every room comes with a few little extras including deliciously crumbly biscuits and fresh milk for a morning brew.

Based on two people sharing, prices for a one-night stay in a Standard Double Room (B&B) start at £125 per room.*
