The Cwrt Bleddyn Hotel and Spa has been brought to market under the instruction of Paul Cooper and Paul Appleton of Begbies Traynor, joint liquidators of Cwrt Bleddyn Hotel and Spa Limited.

The former manor house originates from the 17th Century and has been developed into a full-service hotel and spa facility. The hotel has 46 bedrooms, restaurant, bar and function facilities.
It is also set in grounds extending to around 14.75 acres and is currently being operated under licence by Lester Hotels.

James Williamson, director at Graham and Sibbald, and Nick Hughes, director at Hilco Global Real Estate Advisory, who is handling the sale, said: “This is an exciting opportunity for interested parties to acquire a relatively rare opportunity, being an attractive property, located in stunning countryside yet in close proximity to major business drivers such as the ICC Wales conference centre, Newport and Cardiff.

“The property offers scope for improvement and expansion, subject to obtaining the necessary statutory consents, to enable the business to capitalise on the strength of its location and facilities.”

Paul Cooper at Begbies Traynor added: “The hotel remains open for business and is being operationally supported by Lester Hotels, who will assist in facilitating the transfer of the business that they are currently managing under licence.

“We have been pleased with the positive level of interest that has been shown for the property and we are seeking to expedite the sale process with the intention being to secure the future for the hotel.”
