The company behind two of Devon's best-known seaside hotels has gone into administration.
Richardson Hotels Limited operates the Royal Beacon in Exmouth and the Grand in Torquay, as well as three others in Cornwall.
The hotels will continue trading as usual as the administrators explore the best way forward.
Any customers or suppliers are asked to contact the hotels directly with any queries.
