Congratulations to the teams above and thank you to all who entered and took part in the assessment day. Each of the shortlisted properties will now receive a surprise inspection to assess the cleanliness of their bedrooms, bathrooms and public areas. The scores will then be combined and the winners will be announced at a Gala Dinner in the Wellington Park Hotel on Wednesday 29th February.
Each finalist property will receive two free tickets to the dinner but all other entrants and colleagues are encouraged to come along for a fun night out. Tickets for the Gala Dinner are only £45 including vat for a three-course dinner, wine on the table, a sparkling wine reception and entertainment till the wee hours! Dress this year is not formal but Cocktail Attire (Wikipedia says this means short, elegant dresses for her and dark suits for him).
