The center will become the first English pub and the first guesthouse in a Romanian village, according to the same source.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have big news. We are restoring with traditional materials the original visitor centre for Sirnea from back when it was the first touristic village in Romania. It was weeks from total collapse when we bought it. It is now safe and rising from the ruins to become the first English pub and guest house in a Romanian village,\u201d Charley Ottley announced on Facebook<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The guesthouse will be called \u201cKings Arms\u201d and will be dedicated to \u201cHis Majesty King Charles III, for all the love, devotion and support\u201d he has given to \u201cour wonderful country.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to being able to welcome guests in the spring,\u201d Ottley said.<\/p>\n

Ottley moved permanently to Romania, to the village of \u015eirnea, Bra\u015fov County, where he bought and completely renovated a traditional farmhouse, where he lives with his partner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The producer of the documentaries \u201cWild Carpathia\u201d and \u201cFlavours of Romania\u201d officially became a Romanian citizen at the end of 2025, after a five-year wait. He continues to actively promote Romanian tourism and traditions internationally through his new projects and is directly involved in preserving rural communities in the Bra\u015fov area.<\/p>\n
