The Crofters Hotel was recently voted runner-up in the Lancashire Tourist Board’s Small Hotel of the Year 2011 awards and has received a prestigious AA Rosette for the quality of its food. The hotel’s recent awards have placed it firmly on the map for leisure and business guests alike. Situated a short walk from the historic market town of Garstang and close to Preston and Lancaster, the hotel provides a quiet and relaxing base from which to explore the beauty of the area. Trough of Bowland, Beacon Fell and the Lake District are all within easy reach. Independently owned, the hotel is able to cater for weddings, family parties and conferences with all the facilities expected of a traditional 3-star hotel and with friendly, welcoming staff. The Crofters has both an award-winning brasserie and a cask ale tavern, serving local home-cooked food. Accessed by stairs only, all of the rooms are located on the first floor at the property. Staff members are willing to assist with any luggage.
