Free rooms at some of the most popular hotels in Lancashire and Cumbria are up for grabs as the owners celebrate their 70th anniversary.
English Lakes Hotels Resorts & Venues, which runs the Lancaster House Hotel in Lancaster as well as Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa and the Wild Boar Inn in the Lake District is marking its seventh decade of operation with a host of competitions and activities to give 70 lucky winners a complimentary one-night stay.
Lancaster House Hotel was the group’s first green field site build and was opened in 1991, but the family run business first welcomed guests in the spring of 1953 when Norman Buckley, a world water speed record holder and the great, great uncle of current managing director Ben Berry, set it up by acquiring the lease to run the Low Wood Hotel.The complimentary one-night guest stays will be spread across all three venues and will be based on a bed and breakfast room booking for two people.
Ben Berry, who joined the board of directors in 2018, said: "It’s been fascinating to look back on the family business history and where it all started with the lease and deeds documents for the first venue we managed and then owned. We wanted to do something special to mark our 70th year and treat our guests to some free hospitality along the way.
