Issued by Low Penhowe

Low Penhowe, Burythorpe, 5 Star Bed & Breakfast has just been awarded an EXCELLENCE award as owners Philippa and Christopher Turner consistently receive excellent rating from TripAdvisor members. This EXCELLENCE award comes on top of being awarded VisitYork's ‘Guest Accommodation of the Year for the 3rd year running.

Christopher Turner commented " There is a great deal of criticism about the merits of TripAdvisor, however we are delighted as more and more of our guests use this travel site to help them to plan their holidays and book their accommodation. It's also encouraging to see that our guests take the time and trouble to post a review once they return home. This is really helpful to other guests when they are considering where to stay when visiting this wonderful part of North Yorkshire"

Philippa Turner also commented saying that "Our bookings year to date end of May are up by 20% on last year although our forward bookings are very slightly down on 2010 with more people booking later. Our international visitors account for 18% of our business with more Australians booking than ever before! Yorkshire has now become the one of the most preferred tourist destinations in the UK thanks to all the marketing investment and campaigns run by Welcome to Yorkshire and VisitYork.
