Accommodation

For serviced accommodation choose from one of the following and enter the one that best suits your business:

Either B&B and Guest House of the Year (VE)
Recognises bed and breakfasts, guest houses, inns with rooms or other similar serviced accommodation businesses that provide fabulous service and create great memories for their guests.

Or Large Hotel of the Year (VE) sponsored by Booking.com
Recognises large full-service hotels that provide exemplary service, a top-quality food offering and a stay that guests will remember for years to come.

Or Small Hotel of the Year (VE) sponsored by Profitroom
Recognises small to medium serviced accommodation businesses that offer a fantastic welcome, memorable guest experiences and the highest standards in everything they do. (Usually offers between 12 and 35 bedrooms. However, serviced accommodation businesses with fewer than 12 or more than 35 bedrooms can apply if they consider themselves appropriate for this category).

If your business offers self-catering accommodation – including holiday parks, glamping, camping and caravanning – enter the category that best fits your core offer:

Either Camping and Caravanning Park of the Year (VE Camping, Glamping & Holiday Park of the Year)
Recognises parks & sites that provide exceptional guest experiences across static vans, tents & touring pitches and more.

Or Glamping Business of the Year (VE Camping, Glamping & Holiday Park of the Year) 
Recognises businesses that provide exceptional guest experiences across glamping sites, shepherd’s huts and more.

Or Holiday Park of the Year (VE Camping, Glamping & Holiday Park of the Year) sponsored by Tozers
Recognises holiday parks, sites and villages that provide exceptional guest experiences across static vans, touring pitches and more with a wide range of facilities and entertainment making the park self-contained.

Or Self Catering Accommodation of the Year (VE)
Recognises self catering accommodation businesses that provide the highest quality holidays and help to create fabulous memories for all their guests. This category is for businesses whose main offer is self catering accommodation. A business with multiple properties across different locations is not eligible to apply in its entirety; this includes agencies. However, an application may be completed for a specific location (on a single site) if it is clearly identified within any marketing e.g. website. Large self catering accommodation complexes (eg with chalets and lodges) with a range of facilities and activities should apply for the Glamping or Holiday Park of the Year as appropriate.
