The Rivercroft Hotel in South East Cornwall has been sold on behalf of the joint administrator, Arabella Ranby-Gorwood and Charles Ranby-Gorwood from CRG Insolvency and Financial Recovery for an undisclosed price.
Located in the centre of Looe and overlooking the Looe River, the Rivercroft Hotel is set in the former home of a ship captain, believed to have been constructed in the 1890s.
The hotel, which features 11 guest rooms, four self-contained apartments and a bar and restaurant, ceased trading in 2022 when it was sold to new owners and has remained closed since.
The business has been purchased by a family from Cornwall who own and operate hotels in Scotland and The Shetland Isles. They plan on a soft opening in 2024 with a rolling programme of refurbishment works.
Stephen Champion, director of South West Hotels at Christie and Co, who brokered the deal, said: “We are delighted to have brokered the sale of the Rivercroft Hotel on behalf of CRG Insolvency, with this being the second time Christie and Co have sold the hotel in the last two years. We look forward to seeing what the new owners have installed for the hotel and wish them every success in the future.”
