Hotel jobs are to be created by Urban & Country Leisure Ltd as the company has announced it is branching out into the small hotels market.

The firm, run by hospitality entrepreneur Ross Sanders, currently manages, operates and owns a number of pubs and restaurants across the UK.

It now plans to open ten small hotels over the next two years, starting with The Lazy Cow in Warwick.

"Our aim is to provide the best possible accommodation offering to the tourist, business and destination weekend break markets," Mr Sanders said.

The company has invested £1.5 million in transforming the former Globe Hotel in Theatre Street, Warwick, into The Lazy Cow.

Renovation work is currently taking place and the hotel is expected to open to the public in October.

Earlier this month, Holiday Inn's parent group InterContinental Hotels announced that it will create around 3,000 hotel jobs across the UK over the next three years.
