Historic hotel bought for more than £5m

Date added: 22/12/2015





The family behind the grade I-listed Peckforton Castle in Tarporley have bought another historic hotel and wedding venue in Cheshire for more than £5m following the administration of its previous owner.

Family-run Highwater Estates has completed the £5.35m acquisition of Nunsmere Hall Hotel (pictured) from the administrators of Prima Hotels, which entered administration in May 2015. Prima Hotels' three other properties in England, the Stanneylands Hotel in Wilmslow, Hellaby Hall Hotel in Rotherham and the Quorn Country Hotel in Leicestershire have also been sold.

The new owners of Nunsmere Hall Hotel have promised to make a 'significant investment' into the manor house. Highwater's Chris Naylor, managing director of Peckforton Castle, said he is planning a revamp of the Edwardian, lake-fringed estate on the outskirts of Northwich.

He added: "We're very proud to take over such an historic building. Nunsmere Hall has huge potential and we're all extremely excited.

"Having spent ten years building a very successful hotel with Peckforton Castle, we're confident we can transform Nunsmere Hall too.

"Our Peckforton business model is fully transferable to Nunsmere and we have ambitious plans to make improvements.

"We'll be investing in order to enhance the property's already-significant appeal, focusing on making the interiors look less tired while avoiding any major construction work or disruption to guests.

"Simply put, we want to give Nunsmere the tender loving care it deserves.

"And we also want the property to be a big contributor to the local economy in terms of both jobs and local suppliers."

Built in 1900, Nunsmere Hall sits in ten acres of manicured gardens and is bounded on three sides by a 60-acre lake. It has 36 individually designed bedrooms, a two-rosette restaurant, conference and event facilities and also serves as a wedding venue.

The hotel has been awarded four red stars by the AA.
