AA B&B STORY OF THE YEAR
sponsored by Eviivo
Wold View House B&B
Market Rasen, Lincolnshire
At the top of Bully Hill with expansive
views across The Wold, this smart B&B
offers modern bedrooms and warm
hospitality. Ideal for walking, riding or
touring the charming nearby villages and
coastline, Wold View House is just a short
drive from Lincoln.
Owner Irene Ward-Kendall commented:
“My journey has been long and hard (19
years in all), starting at the age of 52, with
limited funds and many setbacks along the
way, wish so much support from family
and friends, without whom I would have
lost everything in 2001 when foot and
mouth restrictions hit me good and hard.
I am just a small, cosy, friendly country
B&B on top of the Lincolnshire Wolds
with amazing views, providing all home-
cooked and locally-sourced produce. I take
dogs in and taxi people when needed, to
parties, weddings, Rasen races, concerts
at the racecourse and local pubs in Tealby.
My most memorable experience was
as a participant in Channel 4’s “Four in
a Bed”. A great experience. Such fun
which advertised my property all over the
world. The AA Inpsector saved my life by
encouraging me to pursue online booking
and use of Eviivo. My occupancy soon rose
to capacity. A big thank you to the AA.”
AA UNIQUE B&B OF THE YEAR
Brightham House
Salcombe, Devon
Opened in March 2018, owners Scott
and Alistair have tastefully restored
Brightham to its former glory with
vintage/retro style paired with modern
décor. Located in the stunning area of
Malborough with views across the hills
and towards Hope Cove, this large three
storey Victorian villa is filled with bags of
character.
Owners Scott Browning and Alistair
Veness commented: “We are blown
away to win, we can’t believe it. We are so
overwhelmed, and very happy.”
