Moor Hall is situated in Aughton, West Lancashire in five acres of gardens and is a grade II* listed gentry house.  The site was acquired by Andy & Tracey Bell in 2015 and has undergone a multi-million pound renovation with a restaurant, luxury rooms and a converted barn achieving Michelin Star recognition within months of opening and firmly becoming a worldwide gastronomic destination for Lancashire.

Mark Birchall, Moor Hall commented on the project “The work carried out by CHR for me and the team at Moor Hall has been exceptional. CHR had been extremely patient and accommodating through the whole design process. They were impressively knowledgeable and completely understand the needs of the business, what needed to be done and how that needed to be delivered.”
