The VisitEngland Awards for Excellence champion the very best of England’s tourism industry celebrating quality, innovation, best practice and exceptional customer service. Applications to the awards were put forward for judging from businesses including hotels, self-catering accommodation providers, B&Bs, glamping operators, visitor attractions, restaurants, pubs and museums.

This is the second year Rockliffe Hall has been named as a finalist in the awards, in 2023 the five-star hotel, golf and spa resort went on to achieve the bronze accolade at the national awards, after being named as the gold winner in the Large Hotel of the Year category in the North East England Tourism Awards.

VisitEngland Director Andrew Stokes said: “I am always impressed by the tourism businesses who make it onto our list of finalists with their innovative approaches to ensuring people have the most amazing experiences whilst delivering outstanding customer service across England.  I congratulate all the finalists and wish them the very best of luck.”

Shauna Robb, General Manager at Rockliffe Hall, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be short-listed for this accolade. I was incredibly proud of the whole team when we won the North East England ‘Large Hotel of the Year’ gold accolade last month, which allowed us to be considered for the VisitEngland national awards. To be short-listed as a national finalist for the second-year running is a credit to everyone at Rockliffe and we’re absolutely delighted to have this recognised at such a top level.”
