A SOUTH Worcestershire leisure business has received a top award for the quality of its hospitality and service.

The Vale Golf and Country Club in Bishampton, near Pershore has been listed in the LateRooms.com Simply the Guest Awards 2016 with a "top rated" status, marking its exceptional hotel standards and service. The accolade is part of the annual LateRooms.com Simply The Guest Awards and is given to a select band of hotels to recognise their excellent record of positive guest reviews.

The Vale Golf and Country Club’s general manager Simon Williams said: “We are absolutely delighted to have been awarded LateRooms.com Top Rated status. It is firm recognition of the unrivalled quality we insist on here and the hugely exacting high service standards that we have become renowned for.”

Andrea Tarpey, LateRooms.com spokesperson added: “The LateRooms.com Simply The Guest Awards have become a highlight of the travel and hotel calendar since they were launched four years ago. Because all reviews on the LateRooms.com site come only from customers who have genuinely booked and stayed at the property, Top Rated status is now a trusted benchmark amongst those looking for a hotel where they know they can be confident of a truly outstanding stay. According to our guests, the The Vale Golf and Country Club is one of the top hotels in the UK and to receive the honour of a Top Rated status in this year’s Simply The Guest Awards reveals its standards are at the very top of the league in all areas.”
