A bed and breakfast in Godney is celebrating after being given an award by VisitEngland.

Double-Gate B&B and Tea Rooms has been given a VisitEngland ROSE Award for 2022 – the first Rose awards to be issued after a two year break due to Covid.

Owner Debbie Ball said, "We had absolutely no idea that we had been nominated for a Rose Award so it came as a complete surprise.

"We love what we do here at Double-Gate Farm so we are absolutely delighted that our hospitality has been recognised by VisitEngland as outstanding.

"It's an achievement that our whole team here has earned together so it's nice for them to be recognised in this way too."

The ROSE Awards recognise the accommodation providers across England who provide visitors with the warmest of welcomes. They celebrate the establishments where the owners, management and employees, irrespective of their star rating, style or type of accommodation, provide outstanding experiences for their customers.

VisitEngland Director Andrew Stokes said, "It is great to see the ROSE Awards back as we celebrate and congratulate accommodation businesses across England excelling at customer service and creating stand-out experiences that keep visitors coming back time-after-time.

"The awards are also a wonderful showcase of the sheer scale of outstanding accommodation across England with visitors truly spoilt for choice. From stunning estates with camping on their doorstep to quintessentially English pubs with cosy rooms, from charming B&Bs and self-catering cottages in glorious locations to quirky beach huts in picture-perfect seaside towns, there is a stay to suit all tastes and requirements."
