Those idiots don't care that it spoils it for the large majority of people, but when Boris is forced to impose restrictive measures on us then it will effect them too
Perhaps then, what their actions have caused will have sunk in    &shake&

Well said Hugo, I keep reading about places who are defying the restrictions and it makes you wonder which planet they are on. Surely they understand just what implications their actions could cause. Stay safe.

Once we all hopefully come out the other side then we should continue to support those people and businesses that have supported us and steer clear of those who were only interested in helping themselves.

THREE Llandudno hotels which had been placed in administration have been closed.   refPioneer

The hotels are: the Belmont, the Llandudno Bay Hotel and the Queens Hotel, which were owned by Northern Powerhouse Developments.

The company and hotels had been placed in administration by financial consultants Duff and Phelps.

Philip Duffy, joint administrator, said: “It is clear the hotel and catering sector is set to face a very tough few months, with income and revenue severely hit by the widespread travel restrictions in place, both across the UK and worldwide. As a result, we have had no choice but to close these hotels temporarily as the world addresses the COVID-19 crisis.”

Other Northern Powerhouse Developments hotels in Pembrokeshire and West Yorkshire have been similarly closed.Last Autumn the three Llandudno hotels were put up for sale. The Grade II listed Belmont Hotel, which has 27 bedrooms had a price tag of £1,100,000. It had been refurbished. It has a bar and restaurant at ground floor level with an external terrace.

The Llandudno Bay Hotel is also Grade II listed and has 61 bedrooms was offered for £1,950,000, it has also been comprehensively refurbished. It has two large function rooms and potential to expand facilities at lower ground floor level.

The 83 bedroom Queen’s Hotel is similarly Grade II listed and had a price of £2,250,000. It has a large dining area with circa 160 covers and extensive function facilities comprising two large ballrooms.

A HOTEL in Llandudno is being spotlighted on a popular television game show.

Tricia Watson and her daughter Jess welcome rivals to St Hilary Guest House in this week's Channel 4’s Four in a Bed. Filming was carried out in June 2019.

As part of the programme, which is on at 5pm every night, four B&B owners rate each other's properties and decide which of them offers the best value for money at the end of the week.      cont   https://www.northwalespioneer.co.uk/news/18383948.st-hilary-guest-house-llandudno-stars-channel-4s-four-bed/

The landmark Queens Hotel in Llandudno is to close "permanently".

The hotel, along with Llandudno Bay Hotel, Caer Rhun Hall and The Belmont Hotel, went into adminstration last summer but continued to trade.

They had all been part of Gavin Woodhouse’s company Northern Powehouse Development (NPD).

A Llandudno hotel that was part of Gavin Woodhouse’s hospitality group "will reopen" after lockdown says a company source despite the "permanent" closure of its sister hotel in the town.

The landmark Queens Hotel in Llandudno, announced earlier this month it would not reopen after lockdown ends.

The hotel, along with Llandudno Bay Hotel, Caer Rhun Hall and The Belmont Hotel, went into adminstration last summer but continued to trade.

Of all the Hotels in the Gavin Woodhouse’s hospitality group Steve, the Queens is most likely to be a stand alone success as it has 2 ballrooms and the ability to take 3 Coaches a Private Car Park and is located in a wonderful position on the Central Promenade. If I were a bit younger it's the one I would go for.

I agree.

It is likely to be snapped up eventually at auction.

A travel giant which owns two Llandudno hotels and brings thousands of visitors into North Wales by coach has collapsed in administration.

Specialist Leisure Group - which owns Shearings Holidays, National Holidays, UK Breaks, Coast & Country Hotels and Bay Hotels, Country Living Hotels and Wallace Arnold Travel - is in administration with more than 2,500 staff made redundant.

This will mean that the Bay County and Bay Marine hotels in Llandudno will not reopen after lockdown ends - another massive blow to the holiday resort that has already seen Queens Hotel close permanently.

With one coach company leaving (above) another is looking forward to getting back to business .............

Leicestershire holiday firm hopeful of running at least some trips this year
'I would like to think we will be doing holidays this year'

“There are also the favourites that are popular every year such as Eastbourne and Llandudno, but we have also moved with the times, hence the growth."

That might have been a glimmer of good news, before Mr Drakeford basically slammed the door on any chance of and Welsh hotels opening at all in 2020

If you want to keep Llandudno virus free you mustn't entertain any visitors being coached into the resort, until this epidemic is well and truly over, besides where would they stay now that most of the coach firms and their hotels are no more?
