Free parking onsite.

The Clifton Arms Hotel is in the heart of Lytham, a picturesque town on the Lancashire coast that’s home to a fascinating heritage. 300 years ago, this was the site of a small coaching inn on the estate of the famous Clifton family. But, as Lytham grew from rural hamlet into an attractive, bustling town, the Clifton Arms Hotel was built. Privately owned by the Webb family since 1993, the hotel has spent decades welcoming guests to the area and building a reputation for friendly hospitality.
