NEWS - AA FRIENDLIEST LANDLADY OF THE YEAR 2007 |
|
The winner of the AA Friendliest Landlady of the Year award, judged
by the AA's expert panel of inspectors and selected from a shortlist
including14 other establishments, was Rosemary Reeves from the Grey
Cottage, Leonard Stanley, Stonehouse.
Rosemary has been welcoming guests at
her home since 1979. The Grey Cottage is a small 19th century stone
Cotswold hose nestled in well- tendered gardens, from which Rosemary
picks fresh flowers to display on the dining table and in guest
rooms. Genuine warmth and friendliness is
the essence of this home from home- the highlights of any stay here.
A visiting AA inspector commented, "On a rainy day, I was met at my
car by Rosemary bearing an umbrella - she gently chided me for being
rather tall". Rosemary welcomes guests with tea, home made
cake and open fires. Bedrooms are well appointed and boast a host of
thoughtful extras. Breakfast and dinner, served in an elegant dining
room, are all carefully prepared and turned into a very special
experience. Every effort is made by Rosemary to
ensure visitors are made welcome and comfortable, and this winner
takes great delight in setting and maintaining exemplary standards
of hospitality and care at really good value. |
