The Angel Hotel and Caradog Cottages Abergavenny - Travel PR

The Angel Hotel is a luxurious, family-run hotel located in the centre of Abergavenny, recently included in The Sunday Times Top 100 Hotels. A former coaching inn, the hotel has offered hospitality to locals and travellers for nearly 200 years. The Griffiths family acquired the hotel in 2002 and have transformed it to the contemporary and stylish establishment it is today with 31 bedrooms a popular bar, multiple events spaces and formal restaurant The Oak Room.

The same family own Caradog Cottages, seven beautifully decorated self-catering cottages some in the centre of Abergavenny and others just outside the town. The hotel and cottages are situated just into Wales and well located to explore the natural beauty of the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains, to wonder around the independent shops in the market town of Abergavenny.

We were due to commence a PR partnership with The Angel Hotel in March 2020 just as the Coronavirus pandemic took hold and the project was put on hold until autumn 2020, although in the interfering months I secured Welsh and UK national print and broadcast news coverage featuring comments and interviews with the owners.

PR highlights have included:

• The Guardian - Foodie Breaks

• The Telegraph - Britain’s newest culinary getaways

• Mail Online - Best festive restauants
