'I took a crumbling castle on a rocky outcrop and turned into one of the UK's most romantic hotels'

It was only after buying a dilapidated Welsh castle and pouring many thousands of pounds into doing it up that Keith Griffiths realised he was going to have to come up with a business plan.

Indeed buying Roch Castle was something of a pipedream for Keith, a renowned architect based in Hong Kong but who grew up on the St Davids Peninsula in the 1960s for nearly all of his childhood. He has fond memories of car trips to Haverfordwest and spying the romantic turrets of Roch Castle sitting atop a rocky outcrop that lent it a commanding position on the Pembrokeshire coast.
