A HOYLAKE pub has won acclaim for the quality and standards of its toilets.

The Hoylake Lights on Market Street received a platinum grading in the Loo of the Year Awards 2024.

Loo of the Year Awards inspectors made unannounced visits to thousands of toilets across the UK and graded them bronze, silver, gold, platinum, platinum plus, or diamond, with unacceptable toilets not graded at all.

The Hoylake Lights, a Wetherspoon pub, was given the second highest grading, which is only awarded to toilets that are of an 'exceptional standard'.

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

The Hoylake Lights is managed by Ashlie Jae Gaskell.

Ms Gaskell said: "We are delighted with the grading.

"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."

The Loo of the Year Awards 2024 managing director, Becky Wall, said: "The toilets at The Hoylake Lights have been designed and fitted out to a very high standard and are both clean and well maintained.

"The pub deserves its platinum award."
