The hype

The Cartford Inn
$200-330/ ночь
Смело бронируйте, если You want a gastro-glamping escape where the food is as loud as the decor and the river views are worth the hangover.
Почему людям нравится
- Quirky, individualistic design (think David Bowie shrines and reclaimed timber)
- TOTI Deli on-site is a destination in itself for artisan produce
- River Wyre views from private balconies and the glass-walled restaurant
Краткий обзор: A top-tier gastropub that happens to have brilliant rooms, but don't expect the hushed reverence of a traditional luxury hotel.
Подтверждено @ms_dee0808: I spent a weekend at this hidden gem in Lancashire and was blown away. The river views from my balcony were peaceful, but the real star was the food—seriously next level. It’s quirky, romantic, and totally unique. I didn't want to leave!
