Ashdale UK Philosophy

It all began when on a beach in Sydney in 1998 an old school mate 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.

Since then we have grown a little mainly thanks to the returning customers and have bought the Angel & Royal hotel "the oldest Inn in England" and most beautifully restored as well as the Queen Anne Dower house hotel, all grade ll listed buildings with great historic interest. We enjoy working in such style as there is something very rewarding both for the staff and guests alike.
