Visit England Rose 2023 Award

We are absolutely delighted to announce that we have won a coveted Visit England Rose 2023 Award.

The Rose award has been running for 6 years now and highlights businesses that provide visitors with unique experiences and the warmest of welcomes.  The award is made to only 100 hospitality businesses each year, and is nominated by Visit England quality scheme assessors, based on their feedback, as well as guest reviews.

The fact that it is a recognition of the experience we give our guests is extremely satisfying to us.  We have always tried to champion the Eden Valley as a quiet, but beautiful, corner of Cumbria, and we have always made decisions with our guest at the heart of what we do.  We have met many lovely guests along the way, many of whom have returned several times to enjoy what Dufton, and the Eden Valley have to offer.  In many ways it is through their support and enjoyment, and ultimately their reviews of their experience with us, that has given us the confidence in what we do – and this is absolutely the icing on the cake.
