We are incredibly proud to announce that Warksburn Old Church has been awarded a prestigious 2026 VisitEngland ROSE Award.
Standing for Recognition Of Service Excellence, this national award is given annually to just 100 quality-assessed accommodation businesses across the entire country. It celebrates hosts who go above and beyond in providing exceptional customer service and unforgettable guest experiences.
A National Recognition of Excellence Nominations for the ROSE Award are fiercely competitive. They are based on a rigorous combination of factors, including our annual VisitEngland quality assessment, observations from our independent assessor, direct feedback to VisitEngland, and the incredible online reviews left by you, our guests. The final judging panel also specifically looks for innovation that sets winners apart – a nod to our pioneering Net Zero Passivhaus architecture that seamlessly blends 19th-century heritage with 21st-century sustainability.
Recognised by VisitEngland Announcing the 2026 winners, VisitEngland Director Andrew Stokes noted: "The VisitEngland ROSE Awards showcase the excellent accommodation available across England. They honour the people behind the businesses and their commitment to providing exceptional service and memorable experiences for visitors... From boutique hotels to self-catering cottages, these providers drive tourism and its benefits across communities."
This means Warksburn Old Church was selected from a pool that includes every type of tourism accommodation across the country – not just self-catering properties, but also hotels, B&Bs, guest houses, glamping sites, and more.
