Guy's Thatched Hamlet, a well-known hotel and restaurant operating for 46 years, has ceased trading. Located near Bilsborrow in Lancashire, the 65-room establishment was a significant local landmark. Reports indicate that all staff have been made redundant following the unexpected closure.
The business, run by the Wilkinson family since 1980, occupied nearly 14 acres and included a tavern, restaurant, function rooms, and recreational facilities. A notice at the entrance confirmed the closure, thanking customers, staff, and suppliers for their loyalty.
Customers have shared emotional tributes online, recounting personal milestones like engagements that took place at the venue. The property was listed for sale last year, noting a net turnover of approximately £4.2 million and highlighting its strategic location accessible to the Lake District and Fylde Coast.
