Historic Lake District hotel for sale as owners look to retire
A historic hotel in the village of Stainton, near Penrith, has been put up for sale.
The 18th century Brantwood Country Hotel, is on the market for an asking price of £900,000, as the owners look to retire.
Richard and Niki Langley, the current owners, bought the hotel in 2007.
The hotel offers seven guest bedrooms in addition to a public bar and restaurant, known for serving a traditional menu.
The restaurant also offers a private dining room for up to 20 people, and the sale also includes a two-bedroom owners' or managers' cottage adjacent to the hotel.
Mr Langley said: "We knew from the moment we first walked through the door nearly 20 years ago that Brantwood was exactly what we were looking for in a business: great potential, that hosted visitors and locals, and offered food, drink and accommodation whilst being in one of the prettiest villages in the Lake District.
"We have loved our time with Brantwood Hotel and being part of the local community.
"As we are ready to retire, our final job is to make sure we find a new owner to take over the business with the same enthusiasm we have been able to offer over the years."
Graham Wilkinson, Lake District-based hotel agent at Christie & Co, said: "It is a pleasure to be invited by Richard and Niki to find a new owner for the Brantwood Country Hotel.
"The excellent reputation of this business reflects Richard and Niki's commitment to their guests and the community.
"We will work hard to find a suitable new owner to take the business forward as Richard and Niki retire."
The Brantwood Hotel is on the market with a freehold asking price of £900,000.
