Best B&B award for Enchanted Manor

Luxury Bed & Breakfast The Enchanted Manor, the only member of Unusual Hotels of the World on the Isle of Wight, has been named the very best B&B in the entire South East in the prestigious 2007 Tourism ExSEllence Awards.

The Enchanted Manor, at St Catherine’s Point, Sandrock road, Niton, is a five star Gold Award-rated B&B, originally built in 1838 and transformed in 2006 into a unique, boutique tourism business by owners Maggie and Ric Hilton.

Its seven luxury suites are complemented by a lounge area, swimming pool, snooker room and more, and the innovation and quality of facilities stood out in a highly competitive awards category

Judges said “Special arrangements and pampering are de rigeur and celebration is the theme for their short break offers. Numerous guests have thanked the owners for making their visit special.”
