Second von Essen Hotel acquired by Longleat

By James Russell: Second von Essen Hotel acquired by Longleat

November 8, 2011

Longleat Enterprises Limited, which last week announced it had acquired Bishopstrow House in Wiltshire out of the administration of the von Essen group of hotels, has bought a second von Essen asset.

Homewood Park Hotel and Spa, a 21-bed country house hotel set in ten acres on the outskirts of Bath has been sold to Longleat by Christie + Co on behalf of the administrators.

One of the leading hotels in the West Country, Homewood Park Hotel and Spa is a Georgian building whose foundations date from the 13th century. The hotel also has a nationally-renowned restaurant (Lime), award-winning gardens and the added advantage of extensive views over the glorious Limpley Stoke valley. It is ideally located for Longleat.

Chris Day, Managing Director of Christie + Co says: “Homewood Park Hotel and Spa is another fine example of an historic country house hotel acquired by Longleat, and is an ideal companion to Bishopstrow House.”
