Historic Somerset hotel and wedding venue sold for undisclosed amount

An historic hotel in the heart of Somerset has been sold for an undisclosed amount.

Hornsbury Mill, in Eleighwater, was a nineteenth-century corn mill which has been converted into a four-star hotel and wedding venue.

The hotel’s owners, who have not been named, decided to sell the building to focus on other pursuits.

The owners had run the business for the 17 years, over which time they extensively refurbished the property.

The venue’s new operators will continue to run the business as a going concern.

Specialist property adviser Christie & Co  completed the sale.

Set across four acres, Hornsbury Mill is close to the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The hotel has 10 ensuite rooms, a bridal suite, landscaped gardens with a lake, and outbuildings.

Sam Roberts, hotel broker at Christie & 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.”
