St Mary's Hall scoops Gold Award
at the 2011 Beautiful South Awards

Media Release - Friday 2nd December, 2011

St Mary’s Hall in Alton won Gold in the Best B&B/Guest Accommodation category at last night’s Beautiful South Awards for excellence in tourism.

Joan and Jack were absolutely thrilled at the Awards evening... “It’s the first time we’ve entered the Beautiful South Awards so I’m totally bowled over and so proud to win Gold, particularly when we were up against such stiff competition! Congratulations to all the other winners and everyone shortlisted.”

The prestigious ceremony was held at Denbies Wine Estate near Dorking. Taking to the stage to be presented with their award, Joan and Jack  were in good company. High profile winners in other categories included Royal Ascot, Gatwick Airport, Blenheim Palace and The Aviator boutique hotel in Farnborough.

We’re thrilled with the high calibre of entrants this year and their amazing achievements over the last year. The customer service benchmark demonstrated by all entrants is exceptional and the shortlist selection proved challenging. The dedication of our regional businesses to raising standards is particularly encouraging in the current economic climate and we are delighted to recognise their efforts.”
