D'Arcy & I with our B&B friends, Nelly & Maarten, Janice & Donnie at the 2010 Best of Colchester Awards sponsored by the Truro & District Chamber of Commerce.
The Truro & District Chamber of Commerce held their first annual “Best of Colchester County Awards Gala” on Thursday. We had been nominated in the “Best B&B” category and were notified a couple of weeks ago that we had made the top three finalists along with our friends from Baker’s Chest B&B and Eagle’s Landing B&Bafter a period of on-line voting took place.
The actual event had 250 people from various businesses in the region in attendance and was very well done! They announced the winners of the 25 categories in alphabetical order, meaning Best B&B was the third award given out. We all went to the front and received a certificate, congratulating us for making the top three, and then they announced the winner as Belgravia Bed & Breakfast! We were so honored to receive this accolade!
In our acceptance speech, we thanked the other B&B’s and mentioned the fact that we all work together so well. We email one another each morning in the summer, and send guests along if we are full and they have vacancy; we really believe that by working together we provide a better experience for our guests!
We also are thankful to our family, as without their help, we also wouldn’t be able to provide the experience we do.
