Two Lake District hotels have been snapped up by a fast-growing hospitality business.
The Inn Collection Group’s portfolio has reached 31 following the completion of two further Lake District venues.
It has bought the 36-room The Regent Hotel on the shores of Windermere and the 19-room Ambleside Lake House on Waterhead Bay, in an undisclosed deal completed yesterday.
Ranked as the leading pub company in the UK for individual acquisitions and with more sites and bedrooms than any other operator in the Lake District, the deal takes the group’s Cumbria estate to 10 and their total estate count to 31, with further acquisitions in the pipeline.
Sean Donkin, managing director for The Inn Collection Group, said: “It is a landmark achievement for the group to have passed the 30-site marker and I’m delighted that it has been with venues of the calibre as The Regent Hotel and Ambleside Lake House.
“It is a sign of The Inn Collection Group’s ongoing commitment and investment in the Lake District as we drive forward strategic expansion plans with our Eat, Drink, Sleep and Explore concept while making significant contributions into the communities around our sites with employment, inter trading and wider economic benefits.”
The Regent Hotel and Ambleside Lake House will continue trading ahead of undergoing refurbishments later in the year.
Last week, the company announced it had bought the Glenridding Hotel.
