Guests turned away at fire-ravaged hotel
Saturday 6th August 2011, 11:30AM BST.
An Oswestry hotelier said today he has had to turn guests away after a fire broke out in his hotel on the Shropshire/Welsh border.
Miles Hunter said he had no alternative but to cancel some of his bookings after the blaze broke out in the Coach House at the Penydyffryn Country Hotel, near Rhydycroesau. But he has stressed other guests will be unaffected by the fire. Two rooms were badly damaged in Thursday’s blaze and two more were partly affected.
The fire broke out in the room space of the annexe to the main hotel – an old coach house converted into four bedrooms.
No one was hurt in the incident.
Guests had been enjoying breakfast when the alarm was raised.
Firefighters from Oswestry, Chirk and Ellesmere fought the blaze in the converted building.
