Hotel in Powys town celebrates after owners win award
Team members at Welshpool's Royal Oak Hotel have celebrated a win for the hotel's owners as it was awarded a top industry accolade.
The parent company of the Royal Oak Hotel, located on The Cross in Welshpool, has been named the UK's Best Accommodation provider at The Morning Advertiser's Annual Pub Awards.
The Royal Oak team celebrated the win, with Esther Buckley on reception, Zac Salmon, Sue Ridgeway and Chris Ridgeway on housekeeping, Heidi Benbow and Neil Benbow on the front of house, and chefs Joy White and Ryan Desmier, marking the award.
Adam Charity, chief operating officer of the Coaching Inn group, which also has 34 other hotels and inns in market towns across the country, said he was delighted.
He said: 'We are poised to reopen the iconic Castle of Brecon Hotel after a £3 million refit and are continuously striving to improve our accommodation offering right across the group.
'It's all part of our ethos of providing the best facilities we can at the very heart of all the communities in which we serve.
'The coveted award was a well-deserved recognition of all the commitment and hard work put in by the whole coaching inn family, including our enthusiastic team at The Royal Oak.'
