An Isle of Wight tourism business has been awarded a regional accolade at this year’s Beautiful South Awards, hosted and organised by Tourism South East (TSE).
Corner Cottage, Nettlecombe Farm Holidays in Whitwell, has scooped the Gold award for Self-Catering Holiday Provider of the Year. After months of anticipation, nearly 300 expectant guests from tourism businesses across the South East gathered at The Felbridge Hotel in West Sussex to hear the results and share in the winners’ success.
The Beautiful South awards, hosted and organised by TSE, recognise exceptional levels of customer service and dedication to raising standards in the tourism industry. Now running for over twenty years, the awards celebrate the very best the South East has to offer for all types of tourism businesses including B&Bs, hotels, holiday parks, self-catering, visitor attractions as well as recognising those businesses that have gone the extra mile on accessibility, sustainability and great customer service.
Nettlecombe, which has been in the Morris family for over 100 years, is a working farm that offers luxurious self-catering holiday accommodation, coarse fishing, yoga retreats and function barn hire.
Proprietor, Jose Morris said:
“We are delighted to have received this recognition for the Island.
“Our motto at Nettlecombe is to continually improve our facilities and services for our guests to exceed their expectations. Receiving this award has not only given us a sense of pride but has also led to an influx of bookings for 2014.”
David Thornton, CEO, Visit Isle of Wight said:
“I would like to offer my congratulations to Nettlecombe Farm and look forward to seeing them on the national stage at the Enjoy England Awards for Excellence in April.
“Planning for next year has already begun and Visit Isle of Wight is keen to encourage our best local businesses to take part. Details of how to get involved will be posted on our industry website (www.visitwight.org) in the New Year.”
