Boutique Pickering Bed and Breakfast 17 Burgate has won the 2010 Welcome to Yorkshire White Rose Award as Best Guest Accommodation in Yorkshire.
17 Burgate is owned by Forward Ladies Member and Enterprise Ambassador, Pat Oxley, who was absolutely delighted with this recognition.
Pat said "We have been open 5 years and finalists each year but to win was still a huge surprise and honour. There are some outstanding B and Bs in Yorkshire and the quality keeps improving which can only benefit the whole region."
17 Burgate will now go forward to the national Excellence in England awards and compete against the very best from other regions.
Pat and her husband William, have also been prime movers in the development of Yorkshires Finest Accommodation (YFA), a consortium of 5 Star properties across the region. Yorkshire's Finest Accommodation has over 50 member propeties working together to promote the quality the region has to offer.
Pat said "YFA is a brilliant example of individual businesses working together for mutual benfit-we have learnt that cooperating is a viable alternative to competing. We pass business around the region and this increases the number of visits people make as they realise there is top quality accommodation everywhere in Yorkshire."
To help celebrate our success 17 Burgate is happy to offer a complimentary bottle of champagne to all Forward Ladies members staying for 2 or more consecutive midweek nights in November, December amd January(excludes Christmas and new Year periods) www.17burgate.co.uk
