Hotels, B&Bs and glamping sites across the region have been rewarded for the first-class experiences they offer their guests.
The spotlight is on nine venues across the North East which have won VisitEngland's 2022 Rose Award for giving customers "the warmest of welcomes". There are 100 winners in total throughout England, in another boost for a hospitality industry still recovering after being hard hit by Covid.
The VisitEngland awards recognise top accommodation providers, irrespective of their star rating, style or type of accommodation, where owners, management and employees provide outstanding experiences for their guests. They are making a comeback this year - the sixth event - for the first time since the pandemic.
