Silver at the National Awards!

It’s been a really busy week here, so we're finally able make a few minutes to write about our fun weekend in Birmingham last week, at the EnjoyEngland Awards bash, where we had been shortlisted as a finalist in the Guest Accommodation category. It was amazing to get that far – the contenders for the final shortlist were all winners of their respective Regional Award, so the competition were all very high quality businesses.

So imagine our delight at receiving the Silver Award – second place! It took our breath away…

We’ve written before how we find this whole Awards thing a bit of a dilemma; in many ways it’s not ‘us’ to be seeking attention. Yet, on the other hand, we see the value of them in helping guests choose a good quality place to stay, when there is a lot of competition seeking their business! So we are delighted to have been honoured in this way, and will do all we can to trumpet it from the rooftops!

As we were receiving our award from Lady Cobham – who seemed able to be genuinely pleased for everyone she had to pose with – she told me mine was the best bow-tie of the evening. So, that was another accolade then.
