AN East Lancashire venue has been named the best independent hotel in the 2014 Style Awards.

Northcote, in Langho, was among well-known brands like Trivago to be recognised at the ceremony.

Laurie Thomas, managing director of Vision, which organised the awards, said: “The Hilden Style Awards are a celebration of all kinds of establishment in the hospitality industry.

“This year really has seen such a high calibre of entries.

“It’s been a really tough decision for all our judges. We’d like to thank each and every establishment for entering.”
