Skip to contentWE’RE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE ROWLEY FARM HOLIDAYS HAS WON BRONZE AT THE VISITENGLAND AWARDS
We are absolutely delighted to share some amazing news.
Rowley Farm Holidays has been awarded Bronze in the Self-Catering Accommodation of the Year category at the prestigious VisitEngland Awards for Excellence 2026.
As a small Worcestershire business, being recognised on the national stage alongside some of the very best tourism businesses in England is an incredible achievement and one we are immensely proud of.
Earlier this year, we were honoured to win Self-Catering Accommodation of the Year at the Visit Worcestershire Tourism Awards. That success secured our place in the national VisitEngland Awards, where we competed against outstanding accommodation providers from across the country.
To come home with a Bronze award is something we never take for granted.
A Proud Moment, and a Special One Too
What makes this recognition even more meaningful is that this is not the first time Rowley Farm Holidays has been recognised at a national level.
We were incredibly proud to win Bronze for New Tourism Business of the Year at the VisitEngland Awards in 2022. Four years later, to once again be standing alongside some of the very best tourism businesses in England and bringing home a Bronze award is something we are enormously grateful for.
In an industry that is constantly evolving and becoming increasingly competitive, we believe this recognition reflects something we have always been passionate about, consistency.
Consistency in the quality of our accommodation.
Consistency in the experience we provide for our guests.
Consistency in creating a place where people, and their dogs, can truly switch off, relax and enjoy the countryside.
While every award is special, receiving national recognition again four years after our previous success gives us confidence that we are continuing to deliver the standards our guests expect and deserve.
National Recognition for a Worcestershire Holiday Business
The VisitEngland Awards for Excellence celebrate the very best of English tourism. Businesses from across the country are judged on everything from customer service and visitor experience to quality, innovation, and overall excellence.
Winning Bronze means Rowley Farm Holidays has officially been recognised as one of the leading self-catering accommodation providers in England.
For a family-run business based in the Worcestershire countryside, that recognition means the world to us.
As a business that has now achieved national recognition twice, we are incredibly proud to represent Worcestershire on the national tourism stage.
Thank You to Our Guests
While awards are wonderful, this achievement would not have been possible without our guests.
Every booking, review, recommendation, and social media mention has helped us grow into the business we are today.
Many of our guests return year after year and have become part of the Rowley Farm family. We are incredibly grateful for the support we receive and for the trust people place in us when choosing somewhere special for their countryside escape.
Whether you have stayed with us once or have been visiting for years, thank you for being part of our journey.
Award-Winning Dog-Friendly Accommodation in Worcestershire
One thing that makes Rowley Farm Holidays particularly special is our focus on creating a place where both owners and dogs can genuinely relax.
We know that for many people, dogs are family members. That is why we have worked hard to create a truly dog-friendly experience and become one of the leading providers of award-winning dog-friendly accommodation in Worcestershire.
Our facilities include:
- Fully enclosed private gardens
- Secure dog walking facilities
- Accommodation suitable for anxious and reactive dogs
- Countryside walks from the doorstep
- A warm welcome for dogs of all breeds and sizes
Over the years, we have welcomed hundreds of four-legged guests, and we know how important it is for dog owners to find accommodation where everyone can enjoy their holiday.
For many guests, one of the biggest stresses of booking a holiday is deciding what to do with the dog. At Rowley Farm Holidays, they do not have to make that choice.
Dogs are not simply allowed here. They are genuinely part of the experience.
Why This Award Matters
The VisitEngland Awards are among the most respected tourism awards in the country.
To receive recognition from VisitEngland once is an incredible achievement. To be recognised again four years later is a reflection of the hard work, passion, and attention to detail that goes into every guest stay.
As tourism continues to evolve, so do guest expectations. This award gives independent recognition that Rowley Farm Holidays continues to provide an exceptional experience for visitors looking for self-catering accommodation in Worcestershire.
Looking Ahead
While we are incredibly proud of this award, it is also motivation to keep improving and continue offering the best possible experience for our guests.
We look forward to welcoming both new and returning visitors to Rowley Farm Holidays and sharing everything we love about our corner of Worcestershire.
Whether you are looking for an award-winning dog-friendly holiday cottage in Worcestershire, a relaxing countryside retreat, or simply somewhere to slow down and switch off with your four-legged friend by your side, we would love to welcome you.
Winning a Bronze Award in 2022 and now returning from the VisitEngland 2016 Awards with Bronze in our category is something we are incredibly proud of. It reflects not only the hard work that goes into Rowley Farm Holidays behind the scenes, but also the loyalty of our wonderful guests who continue to support us year after year.
Thank you once again to everyone who has supported us on this journey.
This award belongs to all of you too.
