Barcelo Shrigley Hall. Nr Macclesfield. An early nineteenth century country house hotel said to have been the site of paranormal activity. Shrigley Hall | LateRooms | Lastminute.com
Hartford Hall. Northwich. Originally a manor house and nunnery, Hartford Hall is situated in the village of the same name just a short distance to the south west of Northwich itself. Dating back to the 17th century, legend has it that the building is haunted by a nun who was buried within the walls of a nearby abbey. LateRooms | TripAdvisor
The Lion & Swan. Congleton. Parts of this typical timber-
The Pied Bull. Chester. The origins of the Pied Bull are thought to be 11th century, although it is doubtful that anything of the original structure remains. That said, the existing building is certainly old, and it is reputed to be the oldest continually licensed premises in the entire city. The inn is also more than happy to boast of its apparitions: one a cellar-
Cumbria & Lake District
Dalston Hall. Carlisle. Featured on TV’s Most Haunted programme, Dalston Hall is certainly the sort of place anyone fancying their chances of sighting a spook or two should consider. The most ancient part of this beautiful castle is the Pele Tower, which is thought to have been constructed around 1500. Booking.com | Lastminute.com | TripAdvisor
Edenhall. Penrith. Ghost-
Kirkstone Pass Inn. Ambleside. The highest inhabited building in the whole of Cumbria, and said to be the third highest inn in the whole of England, the Kirkstone Pass is listed in records dating back as far as 1496. It is also reputed to be brim-
Muncaster Castle. Ravenglass. Supposedly one of the most haunted castles in the world, Muncaster even organises its own ‘Ghost Sits’. One of its otherworldly residents is known as ‘Tom Fool’ (a mischievous fellow) while the White Lady sometimes encountered in the grounds is thought to be the spirit of one Mary Bragg who was murdered close to the gates around 200 years ago. It is said, though, that the Tapestry Room is the real place to be for a spot of paranormal activity. TripAdvisor
Overwater Hall. Keswick. There is little documented evidence of ‘manifestations’ in recent times, but some say that Overwater Hall is haunted by a certain ‘Black Lady’. TripAdvisor

Lancashire
Dunkenhalgh Hall. Accrington. Considering Lancashire has a reputation for the supernatural, there are few places offering accommodation which are also reported to be home to apparitions and other phenomena of the type. Dunkenhalgh Hall, however, is an exception to the rule -

The Adelphi. Liverpool. Most of the accommodation featured on this Haunted Hotels section of Nights In The Past are either smaller inns or old country houses. The Liverpool’s Adelphi is neither of those, having been built as recently as 1914 and boasting 402 en suite rooms (albeit Edwardian style in the main). That said, it is allegedly still quite a ghostly place to stay, especially on the fifth floor. Adelphi Hotel | LateRooms | Lastminute.com | TripAdvisor
Do you know of any supposedly haunted hotels in Lancashire, Cheshire or the Lake District? If so, please get in touch and let us know. Castles offering accommodation, boutique bed & breakfasts, or country house hotels, it really doesn’t matter just so long as they offer excellent hospitality and are of historic merit (i.e. built prior to the late 1800‘s and retaining as much of their period charm as possible). In the meantime, we sincerely hope you enjoy the site and visit again in the near future. Thank you.
