Hunday Manor hotel sold to Osprey Hospitality Group

The Hunday Manor hotel in the Lake District has been sold to Osprey Hospitality Group, off a guide price of £1.6m.

The 27-bedroom hotel near Wokingham is set in four acres of grounds and has a 70-seat restaurant, lounge and cocktail bar as well as banqueting facilities for 250 guests.

The hotel was previously owned by Joe Wilson, who plans to retire. He said: "I've had a wonderful time managing the hotel over the years and have enjoyed welcoming our thousands of guests including families, tourists and locals celebrating their events in our suites.

"However now is the right time to handover the reins to a new owner/operator, who I'm sure will continue to provide a great experience for our guests."

The acquisition is the first in the UK for Osprey Hospitality, which operates the Galloping Horse in High Harrington and the Peddler in Whitehaven.

Craig Lowery of Osprey Hospitality Group said: "Hunday Manor hotel is a great business ideally located on the edge of the Lake District National Park and near our other properties. As a growing business we're excited to take on the next challenge of welcoming guests and hosting special events for our customers including weddings and other special occasions. We have exciting refurbishment plans for the hotel and we look forward to sharing these soon."

Neil Thomson of Colliers added: "Colliers has seen unprecedented demand for hospitality business in Cumbria and the Lake District National Park in the past couple of years thanks to its popular demand with domestic as well as international tourists. We're pleased to have been able to facilitate the quick sale of Hunday Manor hotel which was only listed on the market earlier this year – this is our 56th sale in the region since the beginning of 2021."
