Award finals a ‘real boost’
by Adam Drummond
A SEAHOUSES business was pipped to a top award last week in what are known as the ‘rural Oscars’.
Springhill Farm Accommodation were finalists in the national Countryside Alliance Awards’ rural enterprise category.
Sarah Gregory, 24, who runs Springhill Farm Accommodation, made the trip to the awards ceremony at the House of Lords last Wednesday.
She said: “It was an incredible event and really amazing to be in the finals of such a prestigious awards ceremony.
“It gave us a real boost to be up against the likes of Chatsworth House and much bigger enterprises than ours.”
Sarah added: “It was a fantastic experience and it’s great to get recognition for our business.”
The winner of the award was Growing Well, from Low Sizergh, Kendal.
Growing Well uses farming and horticulture as a means of therapy for those with mental health issues and those in need of self-esteem and confidence.
It was described as being an ‘exceptional social enterprise’.
