Buckatree Hall is sold for undisclosed sum

Buckatree Hall hotel near Telford, Shropshire, has been sold to Grant Moon, for an undisclosed sum.

Situated near the village of Wellington, the 62-bedroom hotel features an 80-cover restaurant; a 50-cover bar; a 200-capacity function room; and a variety of other, smaller meeting rooms.

The business also includes a five-bedroom staff house, which is located at the rear of the site.

New owner Grant Moon and his family have owned a variety of leisure businesses for many years. Moon said he had been looking to buy a hotel since he sold the Crewe Arms in Cheshire a few years ago.

He and his brother now plan to refurbish Buckatree Hall Hotel and add leisure facilities.

The freehold of the business was sold by Christie + Co acting on behalf of Matrix Group.
