Rookery Hall Hotel & Spa has been crowned Large Hotel of the Year in the Marketing Cheshire Awards. The Nantwich-based hotel, part of the Hand Picked Hotels collection, was also shortlisted for Wedding Venue of the Year.
The prestigious Marketing Cheshire awards recognises excellence and outstanding achievement by local businesses and individuals working in the county and Warrington’s visitor economy and has been running for 16 years.
Rookery Hall’s innovation and dedication to its guest experience helped it to scoop this accolade. During the pandemic it opened up its grounds to offer takeaway treats, as well as organising treasure hunts for families and create exciting al fresco dining opportunities. Having gone from strength to strength the hotel has also retained its four red-star rating from the AA and had achieved a second AA Rosette for its restaurant. In addition, it continues to be recognised as a five bubble spa by the Good Spa Guide.
