Imagine our surprise when we received the news that Trip Advisor, The World’s Largest Travel Site, has once again recognized St. Augustine’s Cedar House Inn as the overall US winner in the Bed & Breakfast category in the 2018 TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice® awards for Hotels. Travelers’ Choice award winners were determined based on the millions of reviews and opinions collected in a single year from TripAdvisor travelers worldwide. That means that you, our valued friend and guest, is at least partly responsible for this honor if you’ve ever shared your opinion of your Cedar House experience with fellow travelers. I also owe a great deal of gratitude to my incredible staff, who have been mindful of your every comfort during your stay.

“This year’s Travelers’ Choice awards for Hotels recognize thousands of exceptional accommodations that received the highest marks for overall experience, including service, amenities and value, from travelers worldwide,” said Brooke Ferencsik, senior director of communications. “The global TripAdvisor community informed this list of winners that will inspire and help travelers find the hotel that’s right for them as they plan and book their next amazing trip.” In the 16th year of the awards, TripAdvisor has recognized 8,095 properties in 94 countries and eight regions worldwide.
