The Cartford Inn, Garstang, Lancashire

Situated on the banks of the River Wyre, the Cartford Inn is a luxury restaurant, bar and B & B in Garstang on the Fylde coast. Originally a 17th century coaching inn, the property is steeped in history with an eclectic mix of exposed timbers, reclaimed brick, stone walls and flooring.

Its restoration, using a wide range of our reclaimed building materials, to provide a destination B & B has resulted in a characterful makeover that embraces the old and the new. Wood and stone floors, reclaimed timber and brick walls, and timber detailing in various rooms creates a warm, multi-textured space with a deft use of our sensitively sourced products.

This is a good example of how our reclaimed building materials can help provide a sense of history in a building project which also has distinct architectural nods to contemporary design styling.

"The success of any restoration project lies in the details. As we transformed The Cartford Inn into a boutique destination, we wanted materials that felt authentic and full of character. The reclaimed timber flooring and beams supplied by Martin Edwards helped create exactly the atmosphere we were looking for. Guests might not know where those materials came from, but they immediately feel the difference they make."
