The new owners of one of Exmouth’s most prominent hotels say customers can still enjoy the same service.

The Royal Beacon Hotel has been taken over by the Richardson Group. The hotel’s previous staff have been retained.

Local sales executive Jo Killoran said: “We are pleased to be part of the Exmouth community and are proud to be supporting local charities. We look forward to seeing you all in our hotel for lunch, dinner or at our wonderful functions in the near future.”

The hotel is currently running a charity lunch offer, where a portion of the price of lunches is going to a selected local charity.
