A PERSHORE holiday home has been named among some of the nation’s best places to stay by England’s tourism board.
Hillside Cottage in Eckington, near Pershore is one of 100 accommodation providers to make VisitEngland’s ROSE Awards list.
The ROSE Awards showcase places to stay which give the warmest of welcomes and have staff who provide incredible experiences for customers irrespective of star rating, style or type of accommodation.
Hillside Cottage is nestled on the family owned Upper Clattsmore Farm and offers a four bedroom self-catered holiday rental with opportunities for visitors to partake in the working farm’s activities.
VisitEngland director Andrew Stokes said: “The ROSE Awards recognise the accommodation providers in England who deliver a fantastic welcome, provide outstanding customer service and make magical memories for their visitors.
“They create the bedrock on which tourists build their holiday memories, encouraging them to discover more of the area and driving tourism spend across local communities.
“From glamorous glamping to world leading B&Bs, from pubs to holiday parks, farms to rural retreats to self-catering cottages, there is a place to stay to suit all tastes and budgets in England with the awards highlighting the amazing diversity on offer.”
The ROSE Award winners were nominated by VisitEngland’s quality scheme assessors and selected from assessor comments and feedback from overseas and domestic visitors.
Recipients of the awards are all part of VisitEngland quality schemes and include all types of accommodation from B&Bs, guesthouses, self-catering and hotels to parks, glamping sites and hostels.
The awards, now in their eighth year, were presented at an afternoon tea event on Wednesday, September 11 at The Post Barn on Old Oxford Road, Berkshire.
