Visit England 5 Star Rating for Wessex Rose Hotel Boat

We are thrilled to announce that The Wessex Rose has, for the fourth time, achieved a 5* Hotel Boat Rating from Visit England. Following a very positive and complimentary visit by the Quality in Tourism assessor, we received our 2016 Five Star Certificate and a glowing report on her findings.

We are proud and happy that our hospitality and housekeeping continues to satisfy the exacting standards of the Award Scheme and delighted with the contents of the assessor’s report, including these extracts from the report summary:

“The Wessex Rose Hotel Boat continues to retain its Five Star rating under the Visit England quality grading scheme for boats, with the rating being comfortably achieved”

“Karen and David offer a very personal service with comments too numerous to mention in the guest book about the high levels of service and hospitality”

“Housekeeping – the boat is pristine with no dust, dirt, hairs or indeed evidence of any previous guest found. Really commendable and a credit to you both”
