The RAC's Blue Ribbon Award recognises excellent Hotels, Townhouses and Restaurants with Rooms. To quote the RAC "These establishments strive for, and achieve, excellence in all aspects of comfort, cuisine, service and overall quality. Winners of the Blue Ribbon Award offer a level of commitment and service that will ensure you enjoy first class standards and a memorable stay".

The Whitsand Bay now joins a select few Cornish hotels to receive this award.
