The Wainstones Hotel in Great Broughton to reopen

The Wainstones Hotel in Great Broughton started its ‘top-to-toe’ refurbishment in January 2025, with doors reopening on July 1.

Now, the much-loved venue is ready to welcome guests with a fresh appearance and an “elevated experience.”

The revamped hotel features 20 individually designed bedrooms, a “striking” cocktail bar, a restaurant with modern, seasonal menus, and two private dining rooms. It has also added a flexible function suite for large events and a new lounge and outdoor terrace for relaxed drinks.

Dog lovers will be pleased to hear that the hotel is dog-friendly, offering treats for four-legged guests.

“We’ve created a space where locals, guests, and passers-through will want to stay for just one more drink.

“There’s warmth and welcome but also the wow factor.

“Having only started work on the existing hotel in January, it’s an incredible feeling to be welcoming our first guests already. We’ve considered every detail to make the hotel truly inclusive.”

The hotel also has an adjoining café, The Stones Café, which is open to the public daily.

The interior design of the hotel is a prominent feature, with guest bedrooms showcasing bold artwork and saturated colour.

Each of the 20 bedrooms has been individually styled to reflect a different character, ensuring an “enjoyable and unforgettable stay.”

Guests can choose from a mix of doubles, twins, and family rooms, with some rooms specifically designed for dog-friendly stays.

Adjoining cafe, Stones Café, serves artisan smoothies, standout bakes, and brunch and lunch options.
