Ashfield House is a charming Victorian country house built in the 1870's for a wealthy merchant and mill owner. Prime Minister Gladstone was a guest at Ashfield House when Liberal MP for Wigan, John Lancaster, was owner. It is a fine example of the craftmanship of the era, which has seen many glorious days.

Since its conversion into a hotel and restaurant in the early 1990's it has established a first class reputation for fine food and wine, with a beautiful restauant and banqueting suite serving freshly cooked classical English cuisine with an innovative twist.

There are fifteen individually furnished en-suite bedrooms, residents bar, air-conditioned conference suites and facilities for private dining. The ambience is very much country house, the aim is to provide a flexible and individually tailored service with a touch of informality, allowing guests to experience the enjoyment of using Ashfield House as it it were their home.
