Royal Oak celebrates major award

Jubilant team members at Welshpool’s Royal Oak Hotel are celebrating the winning of a top hospitality industry accolade.

Their parent company, The Coaching Inn Group, have just been named the UK’s Best Accommodation Provider at The Morning Advertiser’s Annual Pub Awards compared by Claudia Winkleman and held at the Battersea Evolution in London.

Adam Charity, Chief Operating Officer of the group which also has 34 other hotels and Inns in market towns across the country said he was delighted.

“We are poised to reopen the iconic Castle of Brecon Hotel after a £3million refit and are continuously striving to improve our accommodation offering right across the group,” he said.

“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,” he added.

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,” he said.
