A HAMPSHIRE hotel has won one of the main accolades at annual awards ceremony.

Balmer Lawn Hotel & Spa at Lyndhurst Road, Brockenhurst, triumphed in the large wedding venues category at the Guide for Brides Customer Service Awards 2022.

Ruth Mundy, the hotel's wedding co-ordinator, said: “We’re ecstatic to be crowned national champions.

“We cater for bespoke weddings of up to 140 guests for both ceremony and wedding breakfast and an additional 110 in the evening, across an array of beautiful function rooms and outdoor spaces.

"Words can’t describe how great a feeling it is to be recognised once again for our customer service."

The awards aims to recognise excellence in wedding destinations across the UK.

Balmer Lawn has recently launched a wedding package called ‘Everything but the dress’, which includes a list of preferred suppliers as well as typical food and venue requirements.
