More ‘AA’wards for our lovely hotel and restaurant
We can’t tell you how happy we are to receive yet even more awards. If you’ve ever visited us, you’ll know that our friendly and attentive team constantly strive to provide the very best experiences. And these awards are recognition of the dedication and skill they bring to the table each and every day.
The Cotford hotel – Awarded four AA stars
Chris and myself along with our team are all thrilled that our collective hard work around the hotel has been recognised with a four-star classification and an AA Merit score of 78%.
The AA Hotel Inspector said;
“Following my overnight visit to The Cotford Hotel, the property continues to comfortably exceed AA Quality Standards therefore, I am pleased to confirm a four-star reclassification with an AA Merit score of 78% and a Breakfast Award.”
“Hospitality and service exceeded expectations, the cohesive and enthusiastic team demonstrated bon viveur; attentive and professional throughout my stay at the hotel, and should be commended for their efforts.”
L’amuse-Bouche Restaurant – Awarded two AA rosettes
We love food and it shows, our award-winning restaurant L’amuse-Bouche has been consistently recognised for its exacting quality and creativity over the years and we’re so happy to say it has once again maintained its two coveted AA rosettes for culinary excellence.
The AA Hotel Inspector said;
“Cuisine has developed even greater strengths this year and the confidence in Head Chef Chris Morgan and his team is well founded. The dishes sampled, all showed such creative consistency, underpinned by such intense pride and skilled execution. Characteristic classic simplicity, combined with an innovative twist, demonstrating imagination and allowing for a distinct voice within all dishes.”
The Cotford hotel – AA Breakfast award
We think it’s the most important meal of the day and the AA Hotel Inspector agreed saying;
“Pleasing to see the same attention to detail reflected at breakfast with excellent poached eggs, accurately cooked, vine roasted heritage tomatoes ensuring that the English Breakfast was also a great strength.”
As you can imagine, we’re all so proud of our new awards and we’d like to thank the AA for their time and their very complimentary words, but most of all we want to thank our team for continuing to make our guests’ experiences the best they can be.
