The owner of Garstang Road venue Barton Manor intends to double its accommodation with 50 new guest rooms in a project adding four blocks to the building’s footprint.
Applicant Double Dutch Hotels is working with Liverpool architect Constructive Thinking Studio on the 21,000 sq ft expansion project, which would see the addition of a new entrance/lobby block with associated suites at mezzanine level; a glazed link to new accommodation; and landscaping.
Formerly known as Barton Grange, the hotel – now part of Best Western’s Signature Collection – is described as a popular venue for weddings and conferences. The space where the new blocks will be built was formerly occupied by a garden centre, with the extension effectively turning the hotel building into an L-shape.

The four-star Barton Manor (formerly Barton Grange) wants to build an extension, adding up to 50 new rooms, on the site of its former garden centre.
The hotel currently has 51 rooms and the owners say that is limiting its ability to compete for bigger functions and conferences as our current (room) inventory does not support the market demand.
Barton Grange, which was originally a local mill owner s country mansion and later the home of MP Levi Collinson, became a six-bed hotel in 1951 and grew to become one of the most prestigious venues in the area.
