About Us

Here at the Lathkil Hotel, we're not part of a chain but are a friendly local team who want to help you make the most of your time at the hotel and the local surroundings so that you'll want to come back time and time again.

Robert Grigor-Taylor has been the landlord of The Lathkil Hotel since November 1981, since then the hotel has been wholly family run.  November 2011 saw Robert & Helen celebrate 30 years at The Lathkil.  Robert also took the opportunity to hand over the running of the hotel to daughter Alice.

There has been a public house here since Georgian times. It used to be called the Miners' Arms and was used for much-needed refreshment by the lead miners working in the Lathkil Dale. Indeed, in the 1850s, it was even owned by the local mining agent, James Bateman.
