The Feathers hotel in Ludlow has been put up for sale with a guide price of £2 million.
Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co is marketing the sale of The Feathers.
The property is a 17th Century coaching inn with 40 bedrooms and additional rooms for business meetings, conferences and private dining. Also included in the sale are four retail units, which are currently rented as well as a four bedroom residential flat.
Charles Jones, senior agent for Hotels, at Christie & Co, who is handling the sale, said: “The Feathers is widely regarded as ‘the most handsome inn in the world’ and is a fantastic opportunity for an owner operator to purchase their own piece of history in one of England’s prime market towns.
“We expect to see high interest from local, national and international operators who will recognise The Feathers as an exceptional addition to any portfolio. The current owners, who are now looking to retire, who built the business to an exceptional standard over the past 16 years, in which time they have achieved strong occupancy and The Feathers continues to be a destination hotel.”
The sale comes only two months after the hotel re-opened following a fatal legionnaires outbreak, after which it was closed for two months for Public Health England to test its water samples. It eventually reopened in November 2017.
