Six Bells Pub in Lymington wins platinum accolade in Loo of the Year Awards

A LYMINGTON pub’s impressive toilets have been awarded platinum status in the annual Loo of the Year awards.

The Six Bells in St Thomas Street is celebrating the accolade after judges were wowed by the loo’s decoration, cleanliness, accessibility and facilities.

Inspectors made secret visits to try out the washrooms at the popular Wetherspoon pub in the town.

They found the Six Bells “welcoming, comfortable and well looked after” and gave it a platinum rating.

Manager Rebecca Graham said: “We are delighted with the award. Staff at the pub ensure the toilets are in excellent condition at all times, and it is great that this has been recognised by the inspectors.”

Loo of the Year Awards managing director Becky Wall said: “The toilets at The Six Bells have been designed and fitted out to a very high standard and are both clean and well maintained.

“The pub deserves its platinum award.”

The awards were launched in 1987 to encourage the “highest possible standards” in washrooms at businesses.

Toilets are either nominated for an award, or entered in the competition by the business owner.

There is also a prize for Washroom Cleaner of the Year.
