Winner in ‘Good Hotel Guide Editor’s Choice Award 2024
We are thrilled to announce that we have been named as a winner of the prestigious 2024 Good Hotel Guide’s Editor’s Choice Award for Gardens. The Good Hotel Guide is the U.K.’s leading accommodation guide with independent advice and reviews of luxury and boutique hotels, B&Bs and Inns.
The Editor’s Choice Awards highlights the top 10 hotels in selected categories. Goldstone Hall Hotel has been recognised in the gardens category as one of the best, alongside nine other prestigious hotels including Congham Hall, Bodysgallen Hall and Spa, Cliveden House, Askham Hall, Gravetye Manor, Hotel Endsleigh, Longueville Manor, The Newt in Somerset & Greywalls.
The hotel guide review describes Goldstone Hall Hotel and Garden as: “These five-acre gardens are perennially joyful. The walled garden has a dreamy double-tiered herbaceous border, and there is a rose terrace (where you can dine) and wildflower area. A laburnum arch interwoven with ornamental vines, honeysuckle and clematis leads to a large kitchen garden.”
The Editors’ of the Good Hotel Guide select winners purely on merit, based on visits by a team of experienced inspectors and reports from trusted readers. The awards and guide and are held in high esteem amongst the industry for being one of the only truly independent guides with independent opinion.
The gardens at Goldstone Hall Hotel were initiated by John Cushing’s mother, Helen Ward, who channelled her passion for gardening into transforming the wilderness that was. The garden is now managed by head gardener Ross Underwood.
We’ve also recently been awarded the AA Notable Wine List Award for 2024 as well as being shortlisted in the West Midland Tourism Awards 2024.
