It all began when on a beach in Sydney in 1998 an old school friend buried my wallet in the sand!
This peculiarity was further compounded by his promise that whatever money I had to buy a hotel he would match.
True to his word in October 2004 we bought the Kings Head hotel, Richmond, North Yorkshire (in-fact my wife Jo found it!) a hotel so full of character and characters
that we knew this was for us.
The group grew a little over the years, mainly thanks to the returning guests and we bought the beautifully restored Angel & Royal "the oldest Inn in England" the Queen Anne Dower House,
Hazlewood Castle (a real castle) and Grants hotel, all grade I & ll listed buildings of great historic importance
Two other additions for you to enjoy are our Imagine Spas which epitomise elegance and luxury.
A few years back the Kings Head was bought by the Coaching Inn Group, where it continues to flourish, Grants Hotel was returned to its original format of terraced housing and the Angel and Royal was recently bought by a local Grantham man.
Our two remaining hotels and spas continue to offer our famous friendly service in the heart of Yorkshire.
We ALL enjoy working in such style as there is something very rewarding both for the staff and guests alike
