A HOTEL in Wychbold has been named as one of the ten most family friendly in the country by a reviewing website.

The Crown by Marstons in Wychbold came ninth in the ‘Family Friendly’ category of LateRooms.com’s Simply the Guest Awards, which the company claims recognise and reward the highest standards in the hotel industry.

The awards were judged on the basis of more than two million genuine guest reviews from the website, and were given to hotels in 23 different categories.

The hotel has a 94 per cent rating on the website, with customers labelling it as ‘comfortable, warm and clean’ ‘very helpful’ and the host and hostess as ‘wonderful’.

Alex Brooker who appears on TV’s The Last Leg, The Jump and various panel comedy shows, hosted the awards. He said: “The LateRooms.com Simply The Guest Awards were launched in 2012, 20 years after bored rock stars stopped throwing TV sets through hotel windows.

“Fortunately, things have moved on a bit since then and even the most anarchic rock star would be gob-smacked by what's on offer in the best hotels these days. So these awards are making hotel choices easier by highlighting – and rewarding -hotels worldwide that achieve the best guest reviews.

“It’s great to be able to recognise the hard work by all the staff in these top-notch establishments and we hope this official LateRooms.com shout out goes some way to rewarding everyone connected with the hotels who’ve won.”
