VisitEngland has launched awards designed to recognise accommodation providers that give the warmest welcome.
The ROSE awards will be handed to 100 establishments where the owners, managers and staff ‘go that extra mile’ and ‘really know how to delight their customers, irrespective of their star rating, style or type of accommodation’.
Recipients can advertise their accolade as long as they remain in VisitEngland’s quality scheme and each year VisitEngland will announce another 100 recipients.
Those recognised this year include 60 B&Bs/guest houses, 19 self-catering, 16 hotels, 2 parks/campsites, 1 narrowboat, 1 serviced apartment and 1 glamping site.
Every region across the country is represented, with the South West having the highest number of accommodation providers recognised.
VisitEngland’s chief executive James Berresford said: "Celebrating those who go that extra mile by raising standards, they will no doubt encourage others to raise their game."
