Hornsbury Mill, a hotel and wedding venue in Eleighwater, Somerset, has been sold to local operators for an undisclosed price.Set across four acres, Hornsbury Mill lies close to the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The period building was originally a 19th Century corn mill, which was converted into a four-star hotel which has retained many of its historic features. The hotel includes 10 en suite letting rooms, a bridal suite, landscaped gardens with a lake, and modern outbuildings, which make it a popular venue for weddings and events.
The previous operators owned the business for the past 17 years, over which time they extensively refurbished the property. However, they recently decided to sell to focus on other pursuits.
Its new owners will continue to operate the business as a going concern.
Sam Roberts, hotel broker at Christie and Co, who handled the sale, said: “We are delighted to have secured a buyer for this delightful hotel and wedding venue in Somerset.
“The business generated a lot of interest during its marketing campaign and found its buyer relatively quickly. We wish the new owners continued success and thank the outgoing owners for entrusting Christie & Co in handling the sale of their long-term business.”
