Description

Description

Set in the beautiful thatched village of Wroxton, the business is an award-winning hotel; 18 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon and close to Oxford and Warwick.

The hotel is principally formed from three adjoining stone-built cottages dating in part from 1649 that have been developed and adapted to provide interesting and characterful accommodation. The accommodation is predominantly arranged on ground and first floors, with some at second floor level and a cellar. Roofs are a mixture of thatch and slate. The Hotel is Grade II listed.

As well as being close to Banbury, the hotel is only eight miles from Stratford-upon-Avon and close to both Oxford and Warwick. Bicester Village, one of the top tourist destinations in the UK, is close by as are the British Motor Museum and Silverstone motor racing circuit. For those who are looking to explore the Cotswolds countryside, Wroxton is on the doorstep of Chipping Norton and Stow-on-the-Wold.

The Opportunity

The ample on-site car parking and accessible road link (A422/M40) network makes it a perfect venue for leisure break excursions during the holiday season and weekends whilst also attracting mid-week corporate business.

The hotel is also well placed for leisure guests being situated close to many tourist attractions including Silverstone, Stratford upon Avon and Bicester. The British Grand Prix at Silverstone is a key fixture in the hotel’s calendar, with the business being fully booked during this event.

Our client has continued to reinvest in the property, including ongoing refurbishment to the bedrooms and public areas. The business continues to enjoy favourable reviews, attracting a high proportion of repeat business.

There is substantial further scope to significantly increase revenue from wedding business and functions including private dining. The hotel has the potential to build on its reputation and develop its range of customer services including conferences.

Opportunities exist to further develop the hotel’s reputation in this market, including weddings, private functions and events. For further information and more images, please visit the hotel's website:
