The Longshott-owned Bel & The Dragon inn collection is set for a burgeoning 2018 thanks to a growth spurt across the group. Following the debut launch of five rooms at the Reading location, a further thirteen rooms are being added across the collection.
In January, Reading welcomed two premium double bedrooms, two doubles and one single room to its offering. Next in line will be Cookham, which will double its accommodation this month thanks to five more bedrooms being created within an adjacent cottage. The Cottage will cater for individual or group bookings, offering two premium double bedrooms and three standard doubles.
Additional bedrooms are also under construction at Kingsclere where two bedrooms will be added and on sale this Spring. Finally, Windsor will complete the expansion with the addition of six debut rooms, enabling Bel & the Dragon to finally fulfil the demands to not just eat in this historic royal town, but sleep too.
Bel & The Dragon are working with long-term design partners Harding & Read on the new rooms which are in keeping with their signature playful style where bold colours, fun prints and bright fabrics create an inviting place to stay. All rooms are complete with mod cons; given a vintage nod with Roberts Radios and perks include complimentary Scotch whisky and Sipsmith Sloe Gin.
Chief Operations Officer, Hector Ross commented, “It’s fantastic to see our new bedrooms creating an added dimension to our much-loved Country Inns and we’ll be delighted to offer rooms at each of our six sites by the end of the year. We have a huge demand for accommodation across the group so we expect these developments to really boost business and revenue.”
To complement all stays, Bel & The Dragon's Group Head Chef Ronnie Kimbugwe offers an innovative take on pub classics.
