Investment Pays off for Ardencote

The Warwickshire four-star venue received Large Hotel of the Year at the prestigious Heart of England Excellence in Tourism Awards. Hosted by BBC presenters Nick Owen and Suzanne Virdee, the awards celebrated the very best in tourism from Birmingham, The Black Country, Staffordshire, Coventry and Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Shropshire and Herefordshire.

Ardencote also picked up Best Business at the Coventry and Warwickshire Godivas, which recognize creativity, flair, ingenuity and commitment.  While further wins include Spa Newcomer  of the Year and Most Family Friendly Business at the Pevonia Botanica and Best of Warwick awards. Ardencote has even been nominatied for Most Excellent Hotel Meeting Venue at the Conde Nast Johansens.

The hotel, country club & spa now boasts a total of 110 en-suite bedrooms, nine state of the art conference rooms, eight dedicated syndicate rooms and three gymnasia.

Marketing manager, Maja Foster, said the awards were a testament to the standards the hotel had reached. She said: "We are absolutely delighted to have scooped these awards and we are full of praise for all the staff who have worked so hard to make the Ardencote Manor the place it now is."

"We have recently extended the hotel by additional 40 bedrooms, making grand total of 110 bedrooms. It is nice to have recognition of all the hard work which has gone into making the business better. When we started this was an 18-bedroom hotel and now it has 110 rooms and a host of luxurious facilities - we really have come a very long way. As a venue we now tick all the boxes - with our rooms, spa, gyms and sports facilities we cater for the leisure market. And at the same time our excellent conferencing facilities appeal to the corporate market. I think that is the basis of our success."
