Introduction

Situated about 20 minutes from the historic city of Lancaster in peaceful countryside this small B&B is the perfect place to stay whether visiting for business or pleasure. Located 5 miles from J.33 of the M6 we are not on a bus route so personal transport is essential.

We offer 2 B&B bedrooms upstairs and one ground floor self catering studio flat. For breakfast, we serve locally sourced ingredients including home grown eggs, homemade bread and marmalade and cater for varying dietary requirements where possible.

We look forward to welcoming you to Green Bank; if you have any queries please don’t hesitate to ring 01524 792062 or email; Sallyfromgreenbank@gmail.com
