ADAIRSVILLE, GA, October 29, 2010 - For the second year in a row, Barnsley Gardens Resort has garnered one of the most coveted awards in the travel industry - having the distinction of being named one of the best places to stay in the world by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler. The 2010 Conde Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards ranked Barnsley Gardens Resort 28th out of more than 100 entries in the “Mainland US Large Resorts” category. Barnsley was one of only three Georgia properties to be included in this category.

Considered by many to be the pinnacle of recognition from one of the world's most prestigious travel authorities and their savvy readers, the Readers Choice Awards evaluate hotels and resorts around the world on the following criteria: rooms, services, food/dining, location, overall design and activities / facilities. Thousands of Conde Nast Traveler readers were surveyed to compile the 2010 awards list.
