A COUNTY town centre hotel has become the latest to join the PoB Hotels (formerly Pride of Britain) portfolio, which champions the best independent hotels across the British Isles.
The family-run Angel Hotel in Abergavenny is a former coaching inn, which has been thoughtfully renovated over the years by the Griffiths family.
And the POB Hotels brand is a guarantee of quality, with just over 50 luxury and boutique hotels hand-picked for the collection.
William Griffiths, co-owner says: “It's an honour to join the prestigious POB Hotels collection and a recognition of our aim to be a beacon of hospitality offering a unique guest experience.
" POB’s collection is made up of the most unique, characterful hotels and the selection process is rigorous so we’re delighted to have been invited to join and sit alongside some of the best hotels in the country.”
Kalindi Juneja, Chief Executive of POB Hotels says: “We are so pleased to welcome The Angel in Abergavenny to the PoB Hotels collection —a property with a stellar reputation for exceptional culinary experiences and a true dedication to local sourcing and family spirit.
“This addition highlights our commitment to curating a collection that reflects the diverse, authentic character of British hospitality.”
The hotel’s 31 bedrooms have sleek contemporary furnishings, bespoke furniture and original local art. Seasonal modern British food is served in the formal Oak Room dining room and Foxhunter Bar. The hotel is renowned for its afternoon tea.
Just a short drive away is The Walnut Tree Inn, also part of the family group and an iconic Michelin-starred restaurant with cottages led by legendary chef Shaun Hill.
