Personal touches are important at  The 25 Boutique at Torquay, Devon UK.

He has also done the precision tiling required in the bathrooms.  With Julian the technical wizard sorting out many of the high-tech gadgets to be found in all of the rooms. These include mood lighting built into the showers.

Julian’s role is generally more front of house attending to guest arrivals and departures and other general requests from their visitors.

Julian and Andy have good track record within the hospitality industry.  Successfully running a hotel in North Wales before moving to South Devon several years ago. They have been together for 21 years.

Andy Banner-Price speechless for the second time!

Tripadvisor spokesperson said, “This has been an incredibly tough year for the UK’s hospitality industry.  Now is the right time to celebrate those businesses that have delivered consistently outstanding service and quality over the last year.

With Covid19 shutting down the industry this year the awards in the past were normally made much earlier in the season.

Regarding how the award is judged.  It is calculated by an algorithm that analyses the millions of reviews and opinions collected in a single year from Tripadvisor travellers worldwide.

Looking further forward an into next year “We, like many similar places have had Coronavirus lock down cancellations. However, many have postponed their stays until next year and so 2021 is looking very good indeed!”

Going For The Hat Trick ?

When asked are they going for the hat-trick?

Andy said “We will certainly keep doing what we have been doing these last two years. But the rest is in the hands of the Gods!”
