Two Llandudno hotels that were part of the collapsed Shearings Hotels group will reopen over the next two months as part of the Coast & Country Hotel Collection.

Bespoke Hotels took on the management of Shearings Hotels - which collapsed in May 2020 - and has created a newly formed collection which is seeking to reinvigorate the hotels’ offering.

This will see Marine Hotel in Llandudno reopen on May 17 and the nearby County Hotel open on June 1.

There are more than 50 jobs available at the hotels.

Paul FitzGerald, portfolio managing director, said: “Given the enormous challenges of the last few months, we’re delighted to bring these properties back to market. Integral parts of Llandudno’s hotel offering, we know their initial closure was felt keenly amongst the community.

"Now though, with reopening plans in place, we’re able to offer not just jobs and wider tourism opportunities, but hospitality services that people can engage with as restrictions lift.”

He continued: “With the country having been unable to enjoy the delights of hospitality for so long, everyone is eager to enjoy themselves post lockdown, and as people are starting to realise these properties are reopening, we’re already seeing keen interest to book – something that bodes really well for their future success.”

The other reopening hotels within the collection are spread across 33 well-established leisure destinations in England, Scotland and Wales.
