HOTEL WOODSTOCK has been nominated in three different categories for the Irish Family Awards.

Contributions of family businesses to the economy and local communities are acknowledged through the Irish Family Business Awards which are now in their sixth year. Hotel Woodstock in Ennis is in the running for three accolades, hospitality business of the year, best in customer service and the innovative family business award.

Husband and wife, Sean and Elaine Lally are the co-owners of Hotel Woodstock. The duo come from a family business background and believe a family run hotel is very important “as customers want to deal with the owners when booking and they arrive at the hotel for their event”.

Sean said, “The team at Hotel Woodstock are delighted to be recognised and nominated for these three awards and it is a huge boost to the hotel in the run into the busy year end and the Christmas period”.

Winners will be announced on Friday November 8th at the Crowne Plaza in Blanchardstown where the MC for the event will be journalist and broadcaster, Matt Cooper.
