13 Nov Scilly celebrates great night at Cornwall Tourism Awsards
Last night turned out to be a great night at the Cornwall Tourism Awards for Scilly, with two businesses scooping awards. Hell Bay Hotel took Gold in the Small Hotel Category for the third year in the row and will go forward to be represented at the South West regional awards in February 2016 and possibly the nationals later on next year. Philip Callan, General Manager was there to accept the award on the hotel team's behalf. Tresco Leisure Spa won a Bronze award in the Wellbeing and Spa Experience category, much to the delight of Hannah Shaw, Leisure Spa Manager. "This was the first year Cornwall Tourism Awards had a category for Spa and Wellbeing, and therefore my first time applying for the award. I can't thank the Islands' Partnership enough firstly for their encouragement to apply and also their huge support throughout the whole process." The gala night took place at the Headland Hotel in Newquay Cornwall, attracting the great and the good from tourist businesses across the county. Comedian Rory McGrath presented the awards. "We are delighted that once again, Scilly has been well represented at the Cornwall Tourism Awards," says David Jackson, Executive Director, Islands' Partnership. "Both Hell Bay Hotel and the Tresco Leisure Spa are worthy winners, demonstrating real excellence in their field. They join a growing list of previous winners from Scilly and as the standards get ever higher, they should be very proud of their achievements. Not only will these awards have a positive impact on their businesses, but it is great for Scilly to be recognised for quality and high standards of service."
