A HOTEL chain, that owns The White Horse Hotel in Romsey, has just received a second national accolade.

The Coaching Inn Group came second in the Which? survey of the UK’s best small hotel chains.

The announcement comes shortly after the group was named the UK’s best hotel group by AA Hospitality.

CEO Kevin Charity said: “The 79 per cent approval rating was an outstanding vote of confidence from guests, many of whom returned time and again.

“It was also a tremendous credit to all the enthusiastic teams whose whole ethos was to offer hospitality from the heart at the group’s thirty-two hotels and inns in market towns across the country.”

The Which? report said that set in period buildings in attractive market towns, or other scenic spots, the Coaching Inn’s pub hotels were a cut above.
