Solberge Hall hotel in Northallerton, Yorkshire has been sold to wedding and event company Wharfedale Grange for an undisclosed sum.
The hotel has been owned by Classic Lodges hotel group since 2015 when it was purchased for £1.8m.
The 24-bedroom Georgian country house hotel is set in nine acres of woodland situated near the North Yorkshire Moors and Yorkshire Dales.
The hotel also includes a purpose-built wedding barn, farmhouse accommodation and floristry shop.
The deal included the purchase of all assets, including the hotel, restaurant, facilities and grounds. All 40 members of staff will be directly transferred to new ownership.
As a result of the deal Wharfedale will be refurbishing the hotel and renaming it the Wharfedale Country House.
Claire Thomas, chief executive of Wharfedale Grange, said: “We are excited to announce the successful acquisition of Solberge Hall Hotel and our intention is to substantially enhance and upgrade the 200 year-old manor house hotel over the course of the next year and put it back on the map as Wharfedale Country House, an opulent hospitality destination specialising in luxury weddings and events.
