Award Winning Accommodation

The Fence Gate Lodge in Pendle has come out top in Lancashire for accommodation. It won the prestigious Lancashire Perfect Stay award in the Lancashire Tourism Awards. The luxury 24 bedroom lodge is a great new place to stay opposite the historic Fence Gate Inn. Though the company has been serving Pendle and visitors for nearly 40 years the award is a huge coup for the hotel which has only been open for two years.

Kevin Berkins, owner of Fence Gate Lodge said: “When the opportunity arose to purchase a building which had been derelict for over four years, we knew it would be the final piece of the jigsaw. It has enabled us to complete our full service offering for guests at our sister venue, the Fence Gate Inn across the road.”

Fence Gate Lodge will now go forward to represent Lancashire at the Visit England Awards for Excellence at the 30th anniversary of the prestigious national tourism awards in spring 2020.

Other Pendle accommodation businesses nominated for the Lancashire awards were The Alma Inn in Laneshaw Bridge near Colne. It was a finalist in the Dog Friendly Business of the Year category and was shortlisted for a Lancashire Perfect Stay award.
