The Milkshed will be competing against the Sheepyard Barn at The Suffolk Escape in Suffolk and The Treehouses at Port Lympne Reserve in Kent to clinch the Self Catering Holiday Provider of the Year award.

Finalists will be invited to attend a traditional afternoon tea at the Bath Assembly Rooms on April 23.

VisitEngland chief executive Sally Balcombe said: “The hundreds of applications this year reflect the quality products across our tourism landscape and I warmly congratulate all the finalists and wish them the very best of luck.”

The Milkshed, owned by Mark and Katie Hollyer, has undergone extensive work in the last few years and now provides spacious holiday accommodation a couple of miles outside of Honiton.
