Welsh hotel best in world for service, UK’s B&Bs reign supreme and Yorkshire
shines
The UK has serious cause to celebrate – with a £35 a night Welsh hotel crowned
best in the world for service. Britain’s B&Bs reign supreme laying claim to
four of the world’s top 10 B&Bs, and Yorkshire comes up trumps with winners
in multiple categories including being home to the Top hotel in the UK and the
eighth best bargain hotel in the world.
Welsh hotel best in
world for service
The UK has not always been renowned for world-class hospitality, but the
Lauriston Court Hotel in Llandudno, North Wales has been crowned the number one
hotel for service in the world. The hotel also scooped sixth place in the best bargain hotel in the world category. And with a stay at the Lauriston Court Hotel costing from just £35 per night, it’s proof that great service doesn’t have to come with an eye-watering price tag.
UK’s B&B’s
still reigning supreme
The results of this year’s Travellers’ Choice Hotels Awards prove that
the UK is still home to some of the finest B&Bs in the world. Britain lays
claim to seven of the top 10 B&Bs in Europe and even takes second and third
place in the best B&Bs in the world category.
Despite narrowly missing out on the honour of world’s best B&B to a
property in Italy, Athole Guest House in Bath takes second place, while No1 in
St Ives, Cornwall comes in third.
The UK’s Top
Performers
The UK’s number one Top Hotel is Harrogate’s Rudding Park which also
celebrates fourth place in the world. Edinburgh property, The Chester Residence,
takes the award for best Small Hotel in the UK. This new category recognises
hotels with less than 30 rooms.
Disappointment for the
Capital in Jubilympic Year
With the 2012 Olympics and Jubilee celebrations, London hotels have been
under intense scrutiny over the past year but the results of this year’s awards
are somewhat disappointing for the capital. While London performed well in the
UK categories with five winners in the top 10 Luxury hotel list, the city fails
against hotels in Europe or globally with only one win outside of the UK in the
top 10 – the Milestone Hotel taking 9th place in the European Top
hotels list.
Yorkshire shines
Yorkshire performed remarkably well in this year’s Travellers’ Choice
Hotels Awards with wins in multiple categories including Harrogate’s Rudding
Park taking the coveted Top UK hotel award. The Caribbean hotel in Doncaster
has been crowned 8th best bargain hotel in the world. The county also
lays claim to two of the world’s top 10 best B&Bs - All Seasons Guest House
in Filey and St Michael's Guest House in Scarborough in sixth and seventh places
respectively.
