Torre Abbey Historic House and Gardens today announced that it has received a TripAdvisor® Certificate of Excellence award for the third year running.

The Torbay attraction has been recognised, once again, as a top performing attraction as reviewed by travellers on the world's largest travel site.

The prestigious award celebrates excellence in hospitality and is given only to establishments that consistently achieve great reviews on TripAdvisor. Certificate of Excellence winners include accommodations, eateries and attractions located all over the world that have continually delivered a superior customer experience.

Torbay’s Elected Mayor, Gordon Oliver, said: “Winning the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence is a true source of pride for the entire team at Torre Abbey and I would like to thank all of our visitors who have taken the time to complete a review on TripAdvisor.”

Martin Hoare, Museums Operations Manager, said: “There is no greater seal of approval than being recognised by our customers. With the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence based on customer reviews, the accolade is a remarkable vote of confidence to our team and our continued commitment to excellence.”

Marc Charron President, TripAdvisor for Business, said: "TripAdvisor is pleased to honour exceptional hospitality businesses that have received consistent praise and recognition by travellers on the site.

“By putting a spotlight on businesses that are focused on delivering great service to customers, TripAdvisor not only helps drive increasing hospitality standards around the world, it also gives businesses both large and small the ability to shine and stand out from the competition.”

When selecting Certificate of Excellence winners, TripAdvisor uses a proprietary algorithm to determine the honourees that takes into account the quality, quantity and recency of reviews and opinions submitted by travellers on TripAdvisor over a 12-month period as well as business’s tenure and ranking on the Popularity Index on the site.

To qualify, a business must maintain an overall TripAdvisor bubble rating of at least four out of five, have a minimum number of reviews and must have been listed on TripAdvisor for at least 12 months.
