The Woodhouse Farm Cottages added to its list of awards this week at the 2009 Heart of England (West Midlands) awards. Held at the ICC in Birmingham, the evening was hosted by Nick Owen and Suzanne Virdee from Midlands Today, who needed an award themselves for unflinchingly smiling, kissing and having their photos taken with so many people. Another member of Premier Cottages won the Gold award, (they were our runners up from last year) and we won Highly Commended, with yet another Premier Cottage member. Out of the four shortlisted, three were from Herefordshire - all members of Premier Cottages! What greater proof could there be that this organisation - an owners co-operative - takes quality seriously?
