Fourth AA red star for Eastwell
Eastwell Manor, which is managed by Marston Hotels, has been awarded four AA red stars.
The manor house property joins one of Marston's own properties, Chester Crabwall Manor, which was promoted from three- to four-red-star status last August.
John Cotter, director at Marston Hotels, said that the award proved that the company gave as much attention and effort to its managed hotels as its own properties.
Marston Hotels, which operates 15 hotels in England, now aims to gain four-red-star status for the recently purchased Crewe Hall in Cheshire, he said. The property currently has four black stars.
