DON’T LIVE: Eviivo Awards shortlist announced

Shortlisted businesses will now battle it out across eight categories featuring awards such as: Most Beautifully Presented, Quirkiest Place to Stay and Tastiest Breakfast, which will be judged and presented by celebrity chef, Phil Vickery.
Over the coming weeks the shortlisted establishments will have their applications reviewed and judged by a panel of industry experts ahead of the awards ceremony in October.
David Weston, awards judge and chairman of the Bed & Breakfast Association said: "With over 1,000 B&Bs opening since 2015, it is great to see that the sector is enjoying a revival.
"These brilliant B&Bs offer a glimpse of the fantastic range of accommodation this country has to offer its visitors, whether they be domestic or international."
Fellow judge, former award-winning B&B owner and now a consultant and mentor to the hospitality sector, Yvonne Halling added: "Running a B&B in the 21st century is demanding and requires multiple skills, hard work and dedication – these awards help to shine a light on and identify the finest businesses within the UK’s hospitality sector."
