Cranmer Holiday Cottages and Fairhaven Woodland Garden join Kelling Heath in the Sustainable Tourism category.

There are three nominations from the Wroxham area - Wroxham Barns in the Taste of England category, Philip Search of Broad House Hotel, in the Outstanding Customer Service category, and BeWILDerwood in the Large Visitor Attraction of the Year category, where it is battling it out against Pensthorpe nature reserve near Fakenham.

The awards celebrate the best of English tourism and are known throughout the industry as the ‘Oscars’ of tourism. The awards dinner is at the National Trust’s Ickworth House in Suffolk on Thursday, November 4.

Regional winners go forward to the national awards next spring.
