"The Ashton is an imposing yet welcoming hotel allowing you to get away from it all in style"
We stayed in a classic room, which was warm, and well layed out with lovely toiletries. The views were beautiful and the location was perfect. The food was tremendous and attention to detail was impeccable. We had a full Lancaster breakfast and afternoon tea and loved it all! For a 5 star hotel at these prices, I would have expected more in the bathroom, e.g toothpaste, tooth brush, slippers. It's London prices and London cool with local produce and surroundings and London prices! Read less

Relax, restore and revive at The Ashton, Lancaster. This handsome Georgian hous is built in the warm sandstone that characterises Lancaster's finest buildings. The Ashton is run with flair and passion by James Gray, who has drawn on his background in film and television to create an aura of understated glamour and utter luxury. Muted colours run throughout the house, creating calm in a harsh world, while jewel colours and sparkling crystal enliven.

The Ashton, Lancaster's only 5 star rated accommodation, gives you all the quality you'd expect from a Gold Award winning establishment - then goes that bit further.
Tea and cake on arrival, fresh fruit outside your door on waking, your favourite newspaper, waffle robes to lounge in, exclusive pampering products from REN and a selection of art and design books to peruse. With massages also available this is the ultimate get-away-from-it-all-hotel.

Imaginative and lovingly prepared breakfasts use the best local ingredients such as Port of Lancaster Smokehoue kippers, breads from the Munx Lakeland Bakery or choose the traditional Lancashire breakfast complete with black pudding.

As for location, the hotel is adjacent to Williamson Park and it's Ashton Memorial which provides the vantage point for one of Britain's finest views: across the historic city skyline to the vast expanse pf Morecambe Bay and the Lakeland Fells beyond. The remote beauty of the Forest of Bowland is on the doorstep, and with the M6 Junction nearby, the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, Blackpool and Manchester are all within easy reach.

For the business traveller free WiFi, plenty of parking, writing desks and digiatal televisions with integral DVD players turn work into a pleasure. Lancaster University and the University of Cumbria are minutes away. As is Lancaster Royal Infirmary and the Nuffield Hospital.
The Ashton, Lancaster - serious comfort. We look forward to welcoming you.
