“It is our great pleasure to continue this tradition with our wonderful team who are passionate about the house and ensuring every guest experience is memorable.”

Located in a 14th-century monastic building, Abbots Grange is the oldest property in Broadway and has hosted notable guests, including Claude Monet, Oscar Wilde, and William Morris.

The House of George W Davies, which opened in August 2025, was recognised for its dining experience.

A spokesman for the hotel said: “We are delighted to have won the Cesar Award for Best Hotel for Foodies, and the Editor’s Choice Award for Hotels for Foodies.

“I have a great team working with me, including the head chef, James Wilson who collected the award on our behalf.”

The Pig in the Cotswolds, located in Barnsley, was praised for its gardens, designed by the famed British Gardener Rosemary Verey.

Alex Polizzi, hotelier and presenter of The Hotel Inspector, presented the awards and addressed the challenges facing the hospitality industry.

Ms Polizzi said: “Running a hotel has never been easy and these are particularly challenging times for the industry.

“The Good Hotel Guide is a great network for smaller hotels, and it is important for us to focus on how we need to adapt so that we can support each other effectively.

“The essential thing to remember is that our customers are king.

“We have to give people a reason to spend their money with us rather than elsewhere.

“While good design is important, service is what makes great hospitality.”
