Where Hospitality Shines

These hospitality properties took part — and here’s what they had to say…

‘It’s a proud moment for all of us at Woolmarket House to see one of our much-loved traditional family recipes that we serve at Michael’s restaurant in print. We’re so happy to share it as part of the Independent Accommodation Day celebrations and hope readers will try it at home!’
Sarah, Owner
Chipping Camden, Gloucestershire,
England
‘As property operators, we’re our own bosses, so it’s especially rewarding to receive recognition from our peers. It feels great to have an indication that we’re ‘doing a good job’ without a boss to tell us so. Being featured in the Independent Accommodation Day unexpected details book is a wonderful acknowledgment for our whole team.’
Stef & Simon, Owners
Kilmartin, Argyll & Bute, Scotland
‘We were delighted that Aurora North Coast was featured in both your publications, and possibly the only property to be featured in both. We know we are offering something unique and very special here on the North Antrim Coast and can’t wait to share it with our guests.’
Pearl, Owner
Bushmills, Antrim,
