our awards |
||||||||||||||||||
|
Over the
last 9 years Monkhouse Hill has won numerous local and national awards
for quality, innovation, design, marketing, environmental practice and
the support of Cumbrian produce.
We have been awarded either first place or runner up in the Cumbria Tourism Awards in 2001, 2003, 2004, 2007 and 2009. We have not entered the awards since taking over chairmanship of the group at Cumbria Tourism which oversees Quality. In 2007 we became one of the first accommodation providers in Cumbria to receive the GTBS Silver award, following a rigorous assessment of all our environmental policies and practices. All our cottages are have been awarded either 4 or 5 stars by VisitBritain. Alongside the star rating, each of our cottages has been considered by VisitBritain for a Gold Award, a prestigious accolade made only to the very highest scoring properties. We are delighted that every single cottage at Monkhouse Hill has received a Gold Award for 2009/2010. |

| We are also one of the few
groups of cottages to have been recognised by VisitBritain for the
efforts we make to welcome all four special interest categories -
Walkers, Cyclists, Families and Pets. Unusually (possibly uniquely) for a self catering operation, we have been accredited by AIM for the manner in which we host small scale business meetings and seminars. Our award record reflects our continued investment in the cottages and services available at Monkhouse Hill, in order to continue to exceed the ever increasing expectations of our customers. During 2008, in conjunction with Cumbria Tourism's 'Tourism Connect' project, we undertook a major redesign and refurbishment of the interiors of all cottages, the results of which are reflected across this web site. |
