The four-star 51-bedroom Barton Grange Hotel in Preston has just completed a £250,000 upgrade.

This has included the refurbishment of eight bedrooms in the Garden House, which can now be booked by larger groups such as those planning events or conferences.

In addition, the hotel is expanding its leisure offering with the addition of spa treatment services to its current indoor pool and gym. Two new rooms will provide a range of treatments, which will be available to guests from early 2018.

Barton Grange has also started building work on a new £8million leisure venue, which will feature a three-screen cinema, restaurants and an ice rink including only the second curling rink in England.

The site is a mile north of Barton Grange Hotel on the A6 at Brock, at the hotel’s sister company - Barton Grange Garden Centre.

The centre to be named the ‘Flower Bowl will also include luxury ten-pin bowling, an all-weather crazy golf course and two golf simulators.


The Flower Bowl will be a single storey building with a grass roof and its opening date has been set for Spring 2018.
