exceptional recognition

Calcot Manor is one of the most highly acclaimed of today's new breed of British country hotels. A former English farmhouse set around a pretty courtyard of lime trees and ancient stone barns and stables (dating back to the 14th century), Calcot is cuddled by beautiful gardens and its own 220 acre estate, three miles west of the quiet Cotswold market town of Tetbury in Gloucestershire. Calcot Manor has been a hotel since 1984 - little more than the twinkling of an eye when compared to the estate's 700 years of history. But the last 20-odd years have seen Calcot grow from a charming, family-run farmhouse with rooms and an excellent restaurant, into one of Britain's most popular and highly regarded country hotels.

Calcot has enjoyed quite exceptional recognition in recent years, and 2007 alone has seen them enjoy the following impressive list of awards and accolades:

• Winner of the Conde Nast Traveller magazine's Readers' Travel award for 'UK Hotel Spa 2007'.

• Winner of the Professional Beauty award for 'Hotel Spa of the Year 2007'

• Winner of a Michelin 'Bib Gourmand Award' for the Gumstool Inn - "Good Food at Moderate Prices".

• Winner of the Johansen's award for 'Most Excellent Meeting Venue 2007'.

We were introduced to the hotel by Steve Birch of Dectel, one of our many promedia partners. Dectel are a main supplier to this prestigious hotel and needed a credible, reliable music solution for their client, one that offered both an appropriate musical personality, and importantly, allowed no staff access to the system - thereby ensuring that only the agreed music profile is played back at site without interruption or intervention. promedia ams was the chosen solution for the Conservatory Restaurant with plans to install a further promedia system into the Gumstool Inn gastro-pub shortly.
