We were delighted to celebrate our success at the Bristol, Bath & Somerset Tourism Awards 2020/21 at a special gathering of winners and sponsors last week. Having proudly received the Gold Award for Self-Catering Accommodation of the Year at the virtual awards earlier this year, it was a wonderful opportunity to meet friends and partners from across the tourism and hospitality sector - in real life (IRL)!


From fellow Bath-based winners Savouring Bath and our category sponsors Quality in Tourism to leading Destination Management Organisation Visit Somerset and the team behind Visit Bath City, the gathering brought together leading visitor economy organisations to shine a light on the innovation and excellence being delivered across the region.

Kindly hosted by family-owned Noah's Ark Zoo Farm - located just six miles south of Bristol and a 40-min drive from The Apartment, Bath - and supported by award-winning Somerset-based drinks firm Hullabaloos and local family-run juice business Bradleys Juice - the gathering was the first in-person event run by the awards team for nearly 18 months. The event welcomed a number of key sponsors and supporters including Bristol Airport and Vickery Holman.


Describing the participating businesses as "brave and brilliant", organiser Nell Barrington was visibly delighted at bringing award winners and sponsors together (finally!) at an event not even torrential rain or fuel shortages could keep participants away from. “We really wanted to be able to congratulate the businesses in person after such an awful 18 months and when Noah’s Ark offered to host us we jumped at the chance."


Rhian McIntosh, Customer Experience and Events Coordinator, Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm said:

“It was absolutely fantastic to be able to host a real celebration of the Bristol Bath and Somerset tourism awards! It was great to see everyone and celebrate in person rather than on Zoom! Thank you to all who joined us, despite the weather, and to Nell for organising such a great occasion.”


Congratulations to everyone who attended - and indeed all the winners from the 2020/21 Awards - and an enormous thank you to Bristol, Bath & Somerset Tourism Awards team for helping us celebrate our success in real life!
