Welcome to Fern Lodge Preston Contractor Accommodation Preston
Fern Lodge Preston is contractor accommodation built around the real needs of working crews. Located at 54 Waterloo Road, just one mile from Preston city centre and minutes from the M6 (Junction 31), we provide a practical, comfortable base for contractors, builders, tradespeople and site workers who need somewhere reliable to stay while working in Lancashire.
We sleep up to 8 people across four rooms — a family room, two twin rooms and a single en-suite — making us ideal for housing an entire work crew under one roof. Everything is included: utilities, high-speed WiFi, a fully equipped self-catering kitchen, laundry facilities and 24-hour keypad entry. No hotel bills. No eating out every night. No arguments over who pays the WiFi.
We've been operating for over 10 years and we know what contractors need. If you're looking for workmen accommodation in Preston that's practical, affordable and available on weekly or monthly terms, you've found it.
Why Contractors Choose Fern Lodge Preston
There's a reason site managers and employers keep coming back to Fern Lodge. A hotel charges each worker individually, puts them in separate rooms and gives them nowhere to cook. That adds up fast and kills any sense of team. Fern Lodge does the opposite. Book the whole property and your crew get a real home.
There's a shared kitchen so someone can cook a proper meal. There's a lounge where the team can unwind after a long day on site. There's parking outside, a washing machine for work gear, and a code-entry door so people can come and go at shift times without disturbing anyone. It's the kind of setup hotels can't match at anything close to our price.
Here's what's included in every stay: - High-speed WiFi throughout the property - Fully equipped self-catering kitchen (oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine) - All utility bills — gas, electricity, water - 24-hour keypad entry — no keys to lose, no reception desk - Weekly linen and towel change - Off-street and on-street parking - Flat-screen TVs in all rooms - Close access to Preston city centre shops, supermarkets and takeaways There are no hidden fees and no surprises on checkout. The price you agree is the price you pay.
Fern Lodge Preston has four rooms across two floors, giving flexibility for individual workers or full crews.
Combined, the four rooms sleep 7 to 8 people — perfect for a mid-size work crew that wants to stay together, keep costs down and have everything in one place.
