A NEW manager has taken over running a 16th century hotel.
Dan Morgan recently became the new general manager of The Feathers Hotel on Ledbury High Street.
Having grown up in Herefordshire, Mr Morgan has already had a "varied" career in hospitality.
He was raised in Ross-on-Wye and attended John Kyrle High School, before beginning his career as a bartender at a nearby Traveller's Rest. He climbed to the role of duty manager in three years.
Mr Morgan then ran various gastropubs around Surrey and reopened the Boat Inn in Solihull, eventually returning to Ross to reopen The Hope and Anchor.
“I don’t think I could have enjoyed a more varied and interesting career because hospitality is all about meeting customers from all walks of life and enjoying a great camaraderie with colleagues especially at busy times,” he said.
Adam Charity, the managing director of The Coaching Inn Group, which runs The Feathers Hotel, said Mr Morgan would be an "asset".
The Feathers Hotel is a black-and-white timber framed building in the centre of Ledbury, which has a restaurant, bar, courtyard garden and 20 rooms.
It is believed to date back to 1560, initially serving as a home for a clothier. By the late 1600s, it had become the Plume of Feathers Inn.
