A Wirral hotel popular with wedding parties is celebrating after being named one of the top 50 in hospitality by a global luxury lifestyle magazine.

Thornton Hall Hotel and Spa at Thornton Hough has had the honour bestowed by LUX Life – the leading publication covering the best in luxury lifestyles and the finest in food, drink, hotels, health and beauty.

And the award comes hot on the heels of the four-star Wirral country hotel winning the Best Taste title in the prestigious UK-wide Afternoon Tea of the Year competition last month.
