Brighstone Farmhouse Receives Visit England Awards Accolade

Brighstone's Mill House has been named among the UK's favourite accommodations at a national awards ceremony.

Visit England revealed the 100 winners of this year's ROSE (Recognition of Service Excellence) Award, with the popular farmhouse leading the way for the Isle of Wight.

The awards recognise the establishments where the owners, management and employees, irrespective of their star rating, style or type of accommodation, provide outstanding experiences for their customers.

Owner of The Mill House, Josie Gavoyannis, said:

"We were one of 100 businesses nominated by Visit England quality scheme assessors and selected from their comments on online feedback and reviews from overseas and domestic visitors.  

"It was an honour to be awarded such a prestigious award and amazing to represent the Isle of Wight.

The best part of working in the tourism industry for us is being part of our guests’ holiday memories and experiences and winning this award for service excellence means the world to us!"

The ROSE Award winners were nominated by Visit England’s quality scheme assessors and selected from online feedback sent left by overseas and domestic visitors.

VisitEngland Director Andrew Stokes said:

"The awards are a wonderful showcase of the sheer scale of outstanding accommodation across England with visitors truly spoilt for choice.

"From stunning estates with camping on their doorstep to quintessentially English pubs with cosy rooms, there is a stay to suit all tastes and requirements.”
