After our success with two Silver Awards in the South West Region we were automatically asked to enter the National Tourism Awards, so we brushed off our entry forms and updated them where we thought we could improve upon the original submissions. With two silvers one each for Self catering and B&B we didn’t hold out much hope of reaching the national finals.
So imagine our surprise when we received not one but two emails advising us we have been shortlisted in both categories!
So out comes Barb’s black frock again and off we go to Leicester on the 21st May to see how we have done – we are guaranteed a Highly Commended in both categories and could do even better…. Mark will be twittering on the night as usual!
Heading into our sixth year at Roundhouse Barns we are so proud to have received national recognition – and so grateful to all our guests who keep coming back to this lovely little spot on the Roseland.



Well Done,very well deserved and you shouldn’t be so surprised. Yours is still the very best we have ever stayed in, and the Roundhouse Barns has been mentioned to so many of our friends.
Dear Mike & Roz
Thanks for your kind words. Look out for us in the Saturday Telegraph travel section today (Page 2)…
I am not surprise. Congratulations. We are now waiting for the final notification.Let me cross the fingers.
The best for you.

Congratulations on being shortlisted for the National Finals! Thoroughly deserved in our opinion, having just returned from a delightful week staying in The Carthouse – our first visit and definitely not our last.
Good luck on 21 May.
John and Jane
Kind words. Much appreciated. We are desperately trying to resist the temptation to crack open a bottle of something fizzy until 22nd May. Not sure we can last that long. Hey Ho!
Many congratulations to you both; after all your hard work you thoroughly deserve being shortlisted and I wish you all the very best. Hugs to you both. Sally
Sally – you’re a star.
We’re so looking forward to the awards evening. Some feelings of trepidation, but also immense pride at having gotten so far!
