Hoppickers Blog Autumn 2017

I have not been good at keeping my Blog up to date so here goes with some of the things that have happened in 2017!

This year has been brilliant for Awards and we are thrilled to have gained Visit England Gold Award for all 3 properties for another year.  It is always a stressful inspection taking at least half the day with a very thorough inspector!  We gained 88% for the Barn and The Cabin and a whopping 92% for The Hideaway, which was inspected under the Visit England Glamping scheme.

 

September was the time for the Visit Worcestershire Tourism Awards for Excellence held at an Exclusive awards ceremony at Malvern Theatres.  We were delighted to be awarded Best Self Catering for Worcestershire, which puts us forward to enter the award for the whole of the UK for 2018. 

Completely out of the blue we then received an e mail inviting us to an awards ceremony at Olympia in October to receive Visit England’s ROSE award in Recognition of Excellent Customer Service.

This new award is given annually to 100 Visit England quality assessed accommodation businesses that go the extra mile in order to provide excellent customer service.

2017 has been a busy year. Upgrades have been made to the swimming pool with some new paving, the tennis court has been sprayed with an acrylic paint and new lines and net put in, the website is being updated to include a new walking app for The Malvern’s amongst other new happenings and attractions in the area and today we collected our first batch of Hop Pickers Apple Juice from the fabulous tree in the old orchard – Howgate Wonder apples. The Hot tub for the Cabin was put in just less than 12 months ago and also a fabulous Norwegian log burner making it a very cosy winter retreat.

Always busy - look forward to 2018 with the help of our daughter Rebecca who can try and make me more up to date with social media!
