The prestigious Loo Of The Year Awards team has presented the Royal Great Windsor Park with its Highly Commended Award for its high-quality public toilets.
The Hereford-based Loo Of The Year Awards have been working to celebrate washrooms in the UK since 1987. Today the quality framework is run by husband and wife team Becky Wall BEM and Charles Wall who also run their own luxury, mobile washroom business A Plush Flush.
Windsor Park is one of hundreds of venues where the staff acknowledge the need for their ‘away from home’ washrooms to offer high standards regarding accessibility, hygiene, repair and facilities. The Loo Of The Year recognition is a benchmark for exceptional provision.
Becky and Charles travelled to Windsor recently to present the prestigious ‘highly commended’ award to the staff and estate for all their work in creating sanitary and accessible public toilets.
Becky said: “We met Kieran Baggott at the Saville Garden Visitor Centre to present a certificate to him as the Great Windsor Park was a finalist and had been awarded a Highly Commended in the Individual Washroom Cleaner for England.
“We were impressed by how seriously this estate takes away-from-home facilities. We were shown the family toilets, which had both a disabled access toilet within the space and then individual toilet rooms with two toilets in one for adults and a training toilet for little ones. Each one also has a baby changing wall mounted unit. The sinks all had sensor taps and also low level sinks for the children to be able to reach to wash their hands easily too.
“Whilst we were there, we also looked at the gentleman’s and ladies’ toilets in the Visitor Centre and the disabled access toilets which were modern, fresh and very much deserved the Platinum Plus grades they had received in the 2024 Awards inspections.”
To date, two of the King’s estates have been nominated for consideration in the Loo Of The Year Awards: Sandringham Estate in Norfolk and the Windsor Park Estate. The sites are on their way to getting the highest possible rating which is ‘diamond’ and only a handful of sites across the UK currently hit this exceptional grading.
The Great Windsor Park had four entries in the 2024 Loo Of The Year Awards for toilet facilities on their site. Saville Garden Visitor Centre received a Platinum Plus status, The Heather Garden received a Platinum, The Adventure Playground at the Saville Garden a Platinum Plus, and Virginia Water Pavillion which received a Platinum status.
The Great Windsor Park is part of the Windsor Estate of King Charles III. It is an ancient royal landscape with forests, lakes, gardens, and landscapes. It contains historical monuments, rare wildlife, and collections of plants and trees. More than 6000 hectares of stretching for 10 miles from Windsor Castle to Camberley. It was the King himself who recommended that his estates should consider entering the Loo Of The Year Awards.
The Loo Of The Year Awards are now open for entry for the 2025 awards. For more information visit https://www.loo.co.uk/297/Entry-Information-2025
