Classic Lodges has expanded its collection through the acquisition of the Lakeside Hotel and Spa, situated in the heart of the Lake District.
Following the move, the luxury hotel group has plans to invest further in the hotel’s services and facilities.
The Lake Windermere site is a four-star, 75-bedroom hotel, which “blends country house character with contemporary luxury”. It is surrounded by landscaped gardens that stretch down to the lake and also features a swimming pool and spa.
The hotel has been purchased following 35 years of private ownership by the previous shareholders.
Richard Grime, managing director of Classic Lodges, said: “We are very pleased to announce the acquisition of Lakeside Hotel & Spa, and we are looking forward to further developing its excellent reputation in the area.
“The Lake District is one of the most beautiful parts of the country, hugely popular with tourists and ‘staycationers’ alike. We have taken our time in adding further to our portfolio, waiting for the right opportunity, the right hotel and the right time to expand, and without doubt Lakeside is that. We will be investing considerably in the hotel to further improve the guest experience.”
Julian Troup, head of UK Hotels Agency at Colliers brokered the sale on behalf of the owners.
