Accommodation options if the student accommodation is full
Nelson, and Colne (which is also nearby) does not have a hotel, but there are lots of options nearby. Skipton has a Travel-lodge and is 20 mins away in the car. (Skipton is further north than Colne, if you are travelling from the south. Also, Skipton is near Barnoldswick, and Barnoldswick itself is a great little market town with lots of little shops and facilities, with ocal B and B / airbnb etc. En route, there are a lot of hotels, all the usuals, in Burnley, so this is definitely the best bet for convenience. Its then basically a couple of junctions up the motorway, as Burnley is also just of M65 too. Short journey - approx 15 mins drive to the lecture venue in Nelson, or 20-30 mins on the bus from Burnley. Trains from Burnley go from Burnley CENTRAL, to Colne and take around 15 mins.
I haven't tested out the local accommodation, so check reviews on airbnb or tripadvisor etc.
There are some airbnb options in Colne and surrounds. Other local places within 10-20 mins driving / uber from Colne that have airbnb options include Foulridge, Trawden, Barrowford, and various locations in Pendle. This is tourist country anyway - Pendle Witches, lots of walking tracks, plus near Skipton - gateway to Dales etc.
