Gilsland Hall Hotel, Cumbria has been brought to market via Christie & Co on behalf of administrator Daniel Richardson of CG & Co, with an asking price of £1.55m.
The 93-bed hotel sits in around 140 acres of manicured gardens and natural woodland and is in an idyllic countryside location on the edge of the Northumberland National Park, with spectacular views over the Cumbrian and Northumberland countryside.
The hotel also offers a large dining/restaurant and a bistro bar catering for up 260 residents and guests, plus a large function room which, when combined with the orangery, can host up to 160, ideal for weddings and parties. There is also a small meeting/conference room on the ground floor.
Externally there are seven houses, including two disused 'bothy' cottages, two staff houses and a very large villa, which is derelict, but could be converted to provide spa facilities, holiday lets or residential use, subject to planning consent.
Mark Worley, Director at Christie & Co is handling the sale and commented, “This is an excellent opportunity for a hotel operator to obtain a large country house hotel with massive scope to increase trade and profits. The asking price is expected to generate significant interest from a range of potential buyers.”
The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hadrian’s Wall is very close by as is the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Further tourist attractions include The Northumberland Dark Skies Park and the huge leisure destination of Kielder Water and Forest Park.
