York Tourism Awards 2010

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Believe it or not, York’s tourism industry is worth a whopping £443 million, attracting over seven million visitors each year, so it’s only right that the York Tourism Awards were set up to recognize the big achievers in the business. This year, on 22nd April, the award ceremony set up shop in the National Railway Museum and opened its doors to 400 guests, all eager to see who had won what.

The evening was hosted by writer and broadcaster Gervase Phinn, who rewarded those that had made a splash in the industry pool by handing out 13 awards. But The Feversham Arms & Verbana Spa only cared about one… The Hotel of the Year 2010 award. After graciously accepting this honour, owner Jill Rhatigan said “It’s an amazing achievement for all the team at The Feversham & Verbena Spa, who have all worked incredibly hard over the last 12 months.  We are so proud of each and every award we receive but we are especially delighted as this one is from our local tourism community which makes it that bit more special”.

Situated in the idyllic market town of Helmsley in the charming countryside of North Yorkshire, it’s no wonder that The Feversham walked away with the award. The very name Verbena Spa is synonymous with comfort, boasting plump cushions, and sofas that threaten to swallow you whole. The relaxation lounge overlooks the south facing terrace garden, and its floor to ceiling glass doors and windows afford you an unequalled view of the English country gardens they have lovingly created.

If you have been suitably impressed (as well you should be) by The Ferversham Arms’ latest accolade, why not check out what great deals they have on offer at the moment?
