A FFESTINIOG holiday firm has been recognised at a major national awards ceremony.

Ffestiniog Travel, which offers railway holidays the world over, received a bronze award at last month’s British Travel Awards in London.

The company won in the Best Rail Holiday Company (Small) category, a “fantastic achievement” for an organisation of its size.

Maria Cook and Michelle Hawes travelled to the capital to receive their third place prize.

Maria said: “We’re so happy, it’s a terrific achievement for us following our silver award in the same awards a couple of years ago."
