Two Wetherspoon pubs in Dacorum have been recognised for the quality and standards of their toilets in the Loo of the Year Awards 2021.

The Crown in High Street, Berkhamsted, has been awarded a platinum rating by inspectors and The Full House in The Marlowes, Hemel Hempstead, has been awarded a gold rating.

The awards are aimed at highlighting and improving standards of 'away from home' toilet provision across the UK.

Loo of the Year Awards inspectors made unannounced visits to thousands of toilets at sites across the UK, in order to judge them.

All of the toilets are graded silver, gold, platinum or diamond with unacceptable toilets not graded at all.

The toilets are judged against numerous criteria, including décor and maintenance, cleanliness, accessibility, hand washing and drying equipment and overall management.
