Blackmore Farm in Cannington, Somerset has been named AA Guest Accommodation of the Year for England 2011-2012, beating off stiff competition from all over the country.

“Blackmore Farm in Cannington, Somerset has been awarded the prestigious honour of being named AA Guest Accommodation of the Year for England 2011. The announcement was made at the AA’s Bed and Breakfast Awards at the Royal Horseguards Hotel in London on Monday 16 May.
With prizes provided by AA Hotel Services’ partner Villeroy & Boch, this annual Awards event recognises and rewards the excellent services provided by the UK’s very best B&B establishments.
Blackmore Farm, run by Ann and Ian Dyer, is a stunning 15th Century, Grade 1 listed Manor House nestled in the foothills of the Quantock Hills in Somerset. Guests get the opportunity to step back in time when they stay at Blackmore Farm as it retains many period features including oak beams, stone archways and medieval garderobes. The Dyer family offer guests a friendly welcome, beautiful surroundings and wonderful homecooked meals.
Along with the guest accommodation Blackmore Farm is home to a farm shop, café and self catering accommodation.
Simon Numphud, AA Hotel Services Manager, said, “The AA is delighted to name Blackmore Farm as the AA Guest Accommodation of the Year for England for 2011-12. With old world grandeur, this establishment offers a truly memorable experience and is fully deserving of its title.””

We are pleased to say that we now have a political animal in our midst! After being a farmer, Head of Hospitality and Farm Shop Manager Ian can now add District Councillor to his CV.

During last week’s Local Elections Ian was voted in to represent the people of Cannington and Wembdon. He stood as a Conservative candidate and now sits on Sedgemoor District Council.

Don’t worry though we will make sure that all of the power does not go to his head by saving him the washing up from the Farm Shop Café to ensure that he keeps his feet on the ground!

Congratulations Councillor Dyer!
