A CARMARTHENSHIRE landmark has been given an award by Trip Advisor.

Aberglasney Gardens has been named a 2023 Travellers’ Choice award winner by the website.

The award is given to businesses that consistently receive great reviews on Trip Advisor over a 12 month period and Aberglasney has been named among the top 10 per cent of all listings on Trip Advisor. It is the second year in a row they have been given the honour.

Jim Stribling, Aberglasney’s director of operations, said: “To rank among the top ten percent of those listed on Trip Advisor, as one of the best places to visit, two years in a row, is outstanding.

“We are grateful to all those who have taken the time to leave us a review after visiting. It is no cliché when I say that all the team, the gardeners, the tearooms, the giftshop and the administrative team, all take the reviews on board to help make a visit to Aberglasney the best possible experience for everyone.

“We have worked hard over the past twelve months to offer even more reasons to visit Aberglasney with family trails, forest school, music events and our regular arts and crafts exhibitions. It is fantastic that the reviews on Trip Advisor have recognised the hard work and dedication of our small team.”

John Boris, Trip Advisor’s chief growth officer, said: “Congratulations to the 2023 Trip Advisor Travellers’ Choice winners.

“The travel resurgence we’ve seen throughout the past year has even further heightened the competition. Earning a Travellers’ Choice Award demonstrates that you have provided great experiences to those who matter most: your guests. With changing expectations, continued labour shortages, and rising costs, this is no easy feat, and I am continually impressed with the hospitality industry’s resilience and ability to adapt. Cheers to another successful year!”
