TEAM members at the Castle Hotel in Conwy are celebrating after being named its parent group’s hotel of the year.

They were awarded the accolade at the annual awards held by the Coaching Inn group which operates 15 hotels and inns in market towns across the UK.

Joe Lavin, manager of the Castle, and colleagues picked up the award at an event at the group's Three Swans Hotel in Market Harborough.

Joe, who has managed the Castle for the past 16 years, said: “Our success was entirely due to my 30 strong team's enthusiastic commitment and constant focus on providing high quality and friendly service to our customers.”
