Amongst the judges comments about the Glazebrook were: “Fantastical and artistic with a cool vintage vibe” and “the combination of the weird and wonderful (inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland) and flawless quality defies the rulebook for traditional country hotel to offer an escape from reality”.

It was another night of celebration at the Devon Life Food and Drink Awards in Exeter as the Glazebrook’s newly renamed restaurant “Anton Piotrowski at the Glazebrook” was jointly awarded’ Best Hotel Restaurant’ alongside Kentisbury Grange’s The Coach House.
