Seven gold stars in a row!

Posted: 23/04/2018

We are very pleased to announce that The Old Vicarage has once again been awarded a 5-Star Gold Award from VisitEngland following an assessment visit last month.

This is the highest rating possible in this national scheme for benchmarking the standard of holiday accommodation and the property has now achieved this grade each year since it re-opened under its present ownership.

In the March 2018 assesment, best possible scores of 100% were awarded in three of the categories for cleanliness, management & efficiency, and recreational facilities. We are particularly thrilled by the 100% score for cleanliness having been told that this is almost impossible to achieve!

The report describes The Old Vicarage as: "A beautifully presented property offering excellent quality accommodation, located in an area of outstanding natural beauty with excellent levels of cleanliness throughout." It highlights the brand new feature family bathroom and the "first class in-house personal touches, welcome pack and personal welcome."

The assessor also noted that "the beds offer superior levels of comfort with crisp white linens and excellent fine lofty bedding" together with the "gleaming" kitchen, "sparkling" bathroom fittings and "spotless presentation."
