Moor Hall to launch new Garden Rooms in July

Moor Hall Restaurant with Rooms, chef Mark Birchall’s two Michelin-starred culinary destination in Aughton, Lancashire, is set to expand its accommodation offering with the launch of seven new Garden Rooms in July. Each of the standalone Garden Rooms will be located in the secluded woodland that surrounds Moor Hall’s gardens. The new rooms have been designed by Koto and each of the architecturally-designed buildings will be complete with a hot tub, and private decking area. In line with Moor Hall’s commitment to sustainable practices, which have resulted in the restaurant achieving a Michelin Green Star, the Garden Rooms have been created to comply with the “highest” eco-standards, as seen in features such as sustainable timber and the innovative practice of off-site prefabrication for each cabin. Chef Birchall has worked with Koto to select seven botanicals that will become the names and inspire the different designs for each of the new rooms. For instance The Anise Hyssop room will follow a scheme of rich dark timbers, lilac accents, velvets and bronze fixtures. Oxalis will feature light woods, origami-inspired furniture, with purple and burgundy tones, whilst Sea Buckthorn will see terracotta tones alongside bleached wood, earthy textures and black accents. Birchall said: “Moor Hall is constantly evolving. Innovation, sustainability, and an outstanding guest experience are at the heart of everything we do, and I am so excited for this next stage in our journey. Moor Hall is located in a beautiful setting, and it has been a pleasure working with KOTO to design new rooms that celebrate the surroundings and connect guests to the natural world around them.” Theo Dales from Koto added: "Koto Design is honoured to contribute to the esteemed legacy of Moor Hall with our bespoke designed cabins. Working hand in hand with the restaurant's commitment to excellence and sustainability, our cabins aim to enhance the guest experience, offering a harmonious blend of design and nature. Just as chef patron Mark Birchall draws inspiration from the surroundings, we too are inspired by Moor Hall's dedication to excellence and are thrilled to be a part of this next chapter."
