The Wisteria Hotel in Oakham, Rutland has been awarded, for the eighth year in a row, the TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice Award for 2026, meaning it ranked in the top 10% of listings around the world.

As the world's largest travel guidance platform, TripAdvisor has built a reputation of unparalleled authority with travellers and diners.

The award is based on genuine feedback from members of the TripAdvisor community over the last twelve months, making it an incredible achievement for the Wisteria Hotel.

Wisteria owner Kristy Carey said: 'We are absolutely delighted to have received this award once again, marking out eighth consecutive Travellers' Choice Award in 2026. It is a testament to the dedication, passion and hard work of our incredible team, who go above and beyond every day to create memorable experiences for our guests. Without them, this achievement simply would not be possible.

'The hospitality industry has faced - and continues to face - significant challenges, many of which have been widely reported.

'Despite these pressures, our commitment has never wavered. Our mission has always been for every customer to arrive as a guest and leave as a friend, and we are incredibly proud that this is reflected in the outstanding feedback and reviews we receive from those who stay and dine with us.

'The Travellers' Choice Award is one of the travel industry's most respected accolades, based on genuine guest experiences and reviews.

'To be recognised for the eighth year running is a real honour, and we are sincerely grateful to everyone who has supported us and taken the time to share their positive experiences.'
