Wigan Hotels ()

The Wrightington Hotel enjoys a rural setting, a quarter of a mile from Junction 27 of the M6. Wigan is 5 miles away and Preston, Southport, Liverpool and Manchester are all within easy reach. Bedrooms offer modern amenities including satellite TV and Wi-Fi internet access. Many rooms have views of the countryside or the landscaped courtyard. The hotel has one of the finest leisure clubs in the North West with an 18-metre pool, state-of-the-art gym, Sports Injury Clinic, hair salon and beauty spa. Bennett's Restaurant specialises in steaks and fish and was recently awarded an AA Rosette.

Etrop Grange Hotel is a Grade II listed Georgian mansion with period charm and a chic interior - a refreshing alternative to everyday airport hotels. Manchester Airport and the M56 are 2 minutes from the hotel which has ample free parking and operates free airport transfers. Recent investment has transformed Etrop Grange into a boutique-style country house hotel. Bedrooms are luxurious and many have brass or four-poster beds. Café Etrop takes in views of the terraced gardens.
