Corton Coastal Village chalet resort, part of the Warner Leisure Hotels group, has been awarded four stars by the English Tourist Board in the coveted Enjoy England Quality Rose Award scheme.

The award recognises quality of accommodation, cleanliness, ambience, hospitality, service and food.

To add to Corton's success, the popular resort was also awarded the David Urquhart Travel Premier Collection and the Good Hospitality 2009 awards achieving the highest ratings for food, friendliness, excellent d�cor and facilities.

Managers attribute the success to a comprehensive programme of investment, team training and the result of continual monitoring through customer satisfaction questionnaires.
