Orles Barn Restaurant with Rooms has re-opened with a brand new management team, and staff, led by a Ross-on-Wye Town Councillor, Craig Morgan.

Orles Barn closed on Friday, August 28th. This was an unexpected occurrence, the previous management team left at very short notice; some guests who had booked to stay at the hotel that night, turned up to discover their accommodation was no longer available.

Craig heard of the hotel’s closure on Sunday, August 30th, and he and his wife, Cath, went to view the property the following day. They agreed to take on the challenge on Tuesday, September 1st, and re-opened last week.

Craig said: “With our joint backgrounds in the catering and hospitality industry, we’ve been looking for some time for a suitable business opportunity in which we could both work together and here we are.”
